LETTER FROM THE CHIEF OF POLICE

to the hard work and dedication of each member of the Orland Park Police Department and their strong relationship with the private sector and commitment to work collaboratively in protecting persons and businesses against crime. With that being said, we must remain actively aware of those who seek to commit crimes in the Orland Park area. We ask that you, as residents of the community, do your part to let us know if you see anything that may seem odd or give you concern. As always, we ask that if you SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING and give us a call at (708) 349- 4111 for non-emergencies or 9-1-1 in the event of an emergency. We have enjoyed seeing many of you around the community during the numerous Village events of the summer. Thank you for joining us for the Movie in the Park, Cones with

Cops, Cookout with Cops and for your support of our fundraising efforts for Special Olympics Illinois. This year’s Cops on a Rooftop in conjunction with Dunkin’ Donuts and Special Olympics Bike Ride were a huge success thanks to your participation and involvement. Make sure to join us on social media to stay up to date with Police Department events, public safety updates and the occasional reminder to lock your doors. The Orland Park Police Department would like to thank the Orland Park community for their continuous support and collaborative efforts that strengthen our commitment to provide exemplary public safety to the residents, businesses and visitors in Orland Park.

The safety of residents and guests in Orland Park is the first and foremost priority for the Orland Park Police Department. We are proud of the fact that the Village of Orland Park currently has the lowest number of Index Crimes since 1994 and crime in Orland Park has continued to decrease. As property and violent crime rose to record levels throughout the Chicagoland area, by contrast, crime in the Village of Orland Park fell to the lowest number of index crimes in 27 years, with an overall 9.2% decrease when compared to the 2020 crime statistics. Violent crime also fell by 24%. This is a testament
