2022 Police Annual Report

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.
