2025 Police Annual Report

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. The federal grant-funded mental health Mobile Crisis Response Unit (MCRU) continues to be 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.

In 2024, all officers in the department were provided with new ballistic helmets and ballistic rifle plates. The department also began construction on the new training facility. In 2025, the department completed construction of its new training facility, which became fully operational and available to all sworn personnel. Additionally, the department conducted a comprehensive review and overhaul of its general orders, transitioning all policies to the Lexipol policy management system. The rollout of the updated Lexipol general orders to department personnel is currently underway, with full implementation anticipated in early 2026. 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.
