2023 Police Annual Report

Retail thefts continue to be one of the most prevalent crimes committed in Orland Park. In 2023, the Orland Park Police Department saw the highest concentration of reported retail thefts on Wednesdays and Thursdays, with most retail theft arrests occurring between 2 to 6 p.m. This is a significant change from Fridays and Saturdays in the last couple of years, and can be directly attributed to the new Youth Supervision Program. December was again the busiest month for retail theft arrests. RETAIL THEFT BY MONTH

RETAIL THEFT - 5 YEAR SPAN The Orland Park Police Department experienced a 26% increase in reported retail thefts in 2023 when compared to 2022. The international Covid-19 pandemic no longer has a direct impact, as most businesses in Orland Square Mall, and other retail stores within the Village have been fully operational since 2022. However, the successful continuation of the Youth Supervision Program at the mall has directly contributed to a major decrease in crimes on Satruday and Sunday.
