COMMUNITY OUTREACH

COOKOUT WITH A COP This summer, the Orland Park Police Department held three “Cookout with A Cop” events to interact with and educate the community. The free events gave residents of all ages a chance to get to know their local police officers while enjoying hot dogs and snacks in a fun and relaxed setting. Young residents also had the opportunity to see police vehicles up close and enjoy fun games and prizes. The Orland Park Police Department extends a huge thank you to all attendees. A special thank you goes out to Joey’s Red Hots for providing free hot dogs to everyone in attendance.

TORCH RUN On June 6, the Orland Park Police

Department took part in the annual Law Enforcemnt Torch Run for Special Olympics to raise awareness and funds for Special Olympics Illinois. The officers received the torch from the Tinley Park Police Department participants and ran it to the Orland Hills Police Department. The Law Enforcement Torch Run is the single largest year-round fundraiser benefiting Special Olympics of Illinois. With the help of the Law Enforcement Torch Run, athletes and their families are able to participate in the Special Olympics of Illinois at no cost. The Orland Park Police Department has participated every year for the last 30 years.
