The Orland Park Police Department responded to or initiated 6.5% more calls in 2022 than in 2021, with an average of 612 calls per day, approximately 26 calls per hour, every day of the year.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF OF POLICE

We also continued supporting the Orland Square Mall Youth Supervision Program, increasing officer staffing on Fridays and Saturdays, which has resulted in a 5% sales receipt increase throughout the mall and an 8.5% increase in the time spent by customers shopping in the mall. Juvenile arrests saw a 28% decrease and is the lowest in five years. The holiday shopping season went very well as we continued our strategy of enhanced foot patrols, mobile patrols and undercover officers during the holiday shopping season throughout our retail and commercial areas. During the busy holiday shopping season, there were additional officers assigned to Orland Square Mall.

The Orland Park Police Department investigated 2,229 motor vehicle crashes, a 35% decrease from 2021; and the number of personal injury accidents decreased by 37%.

We also increased our Investigations Division to a six (6) person Targeted Response Unit, which seized seventy-four (74) firearms, eight (8) vehicles, and over $16,913.00 in United States currency. The unit conducted twenty-two (22) undercover operations, seventeen (17) search warrants, and assisted other officers and agencies on over three hundred (300) occasions.

Mayor Pekau, Trustees, Village Manager and the Residents of Orland Park,

The D.A.R.E. program continued to reach over 900 students in 2022, fully returning to normal function after the previous two years of reduced attendance due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021.

I am pleased to provide to you the annual report of the Orland Park Police Department for 2022. The report provides a summary of the activity and accomplishments of the Orland Park Police Department during 2022. Community engagement programs thrived in 2022 as we conducted eight (8) Beat Meetings, three (3) Cook Out with the Cops, attended dozens of block parties, held our Senior Citizens Crime Prevention Luncheon, National Night Out and Crime Prevention Seminars with our businesses and the religious community. The department had DARE in our elementary and junior high schools, hosted the Citizen’s Police Academy and the annual Teen Citizen’s Police Academy, participated in Active Shooter Drills at all schools throughout the community and had three (3) Coffee with a Cop events at local businesses, where officers met with residents to discuss any issues or concerns they may have. While we experienced an increase in property crimes such as burglaries, thefts, and motor vehicle thefts, we are proud to report that crimes against persons were 3% below the 5-year average. We continue to develop and revise our strategic plan, utilizing technology, effective resource allocation, modern equipment, highly trained staff, and collaboration with federal, state, county, and local law enforcement agencies to prevent and reduce crime in our community.

Congratulations to the department on their accomplishments and to all of the hard-working members who help keep the community safe. I also want to thank our elected officials for their support and our residents, visitors, businesses, and partners in the community for their continued cooperation and support. Thank you all!

Sincerely,

E. Eric Rossi Chief of Police

POLICE ANNUAL REPORT | 9

The Orland Park Police Department has seen immense growth and modernization through its decorated history. Long gone are the days of lighting the street lamps, powering up the water pumps, and borrowing part-time Chief Olsen’s personal vehicle to patrol the streets if one of the two squad cars was in for repair. Today, the Orland Park Police Department has a Chief of Police, a Deputy Chief, three Commanders (Administration and Technical Services, Investigations, and Patrol), six Lieutenants, nine Sergeants, and three civilian supervisors who oversee 189 civilian and sworn personnel. With an authorized strength of 101 full-time sworn officers and 20 part time officers, the department is capable of answering the community’s needs efficiently and effectively through the three divisions, many specialized units and numerous community based programs. In October 2014, the Orland Park Police Department had undergone an onsite assessment by two independent assessors from the Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation Program (ILEAP) to determine if the department met the rigorous requirements for Tier II Accreditation

from the Illinois Chiefs of Police. At the conclusion of the inspection, the assessors described the “Orland Park Police Department as a leader in law enforcement.” Additionally, the assessors “found the staff to be dedicated, well trained, and highly educated. The facilities, were clean, modern, well equipped and at the leading edge of technology.” On January 15, 2015, the Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation Council unanimously awarded Tier II Accreditation to the Orland Park Police Department. In 2022, we achieved our second Tier II Re Accreditation. Assessors again expressed their accolades for this organization. Our own Accreditation Manager was recruited by ILEAP to become one of their assessors, to travel the state and assist in accrediting other law enforcement agencies. In the third, and final, year of use, the federal grant-funded mental health Mobile Crisis Response Unit (MCRU) has been extremely successful. The MCRU consists of mental

health professionals from Trinity Services who co-respond, in person or virtually, with Orland Park Police Department Crisis Intervention Team officers to mental health calls throughout the Village. Moving forward, the Orland Park Police Department will continue their relationship with Trinity Services, due to a generous endowment through Northwestern Medicine Palos Hospital. 2022 continued to be a challenging year with the ongoing International Covid-19 pandemic. Several training classes for officers and many community-based initiatives began returning to “Normal.” As evidenced by the programs, initiatives, activities and individual efforts described throughout the remainder of this report, the men and women of the Orland Park Police Department are committed to providing the most effective and efficient services to the community that it proudly serves.

Technology is in every aspect of everyday life, including committing crimes. Computer forensics, cell phone extractions, cell tower data, vehicle historical data and the like are playing a role in almost every criminal investigation. The ability to analyze digital forensic data has been the difference between proving a case and not having the ability to establish probable cause.

INDEX CRIME OFFENSE ANALYSIS (2018 - 2022)

Index crimes consists of ten crimes the FBI combines to produce its annual crime index. These offenses include homicide, forcible rape (criminal sexual assault), robbery, burglary, aggravated assault/battery, theft, motor vehicle theft, arson, human trafficking – commercial sex acts and human trafficking - involuntary servitude. The Uniform Crime Report (UCR) is comprised of two classifications of crime reporting. Part I crimes that include serious felonies and Part II crimes are categorized as non-serious felonies and misdemeanors. This methodology allows for uniformity in conducting regional or nationwide comparisons of statistical crime data.

AGAINST PERSONS:

20 26 25 19 23 22.6

The Orland Park Police Department makes most of its comparisons based on averages rather than the examination of year-to-year because crime can fluctuate significantly from year to year. Comparing yearly rather than taking an average over a period of five years limits your ability to determine if the department had an unusually high or low year of crime.

RETAIL THEFT - 5 YEAR SPAN The Orland Park Police Department experienced a 23% increase in reported retail thefts in 2022 when compared to 2021. This is a direct result of most businesses in Orland Square Mall, and other retail stores within the Village, returning to “Normal” business practices, after coping with the international Covid-19 pandemic. The successful continuation of the Youth Supervision Program at the mall has directly reduced the overall retail thefts, keeping 2022 below the five year average.

TRINITY SERVICES REFERRALS & TREATMENTS

In September of 2019, the Orland Park Police Department was awarded a $744,039.00 federal grant from the United States Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance. The three-year grant has allowed the Orland Park Police Department, in partnership with Trinity Services, to develop and implement a Mobile Crisis Response Unit (MCRU). The MCRU is comprised of OPPD Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) police officers and Licensed Mental Health Clinicians from Trinity Services. MCRU clinicians co-respond, in person or virtually, with OPPD CIT officers to mental health related calls for service throughout Orland Park twenty-four hours a day, seven days per week. The MCRU began responding to calls in October, 2020, and already has resulted in a 30% decrease in the number of individuals in crisis who were transported to a hospital emergency room. Individuals were instead connected with treatment providers to assist them with their situation. This decreased the amount of time officers spent on the calls and allowed the officers to resume active patrol of the community more quickly.

In 2022, the Orland Park Police Department responded to two hundred forty-one (241) mental health related calls for service. Fifty-nine (59) males and thirty-nine (39) females were transported for a psychiatric evaluation. Of the 98 committals performed, 31% were non-residents and only four (4) individuals had been committed for a psychiatric evaluation in previous years.

The Village of Orland Park uses Trinity Services to provide counselling services for residents and non-residents who would benefit from their service.
