24 OP Summer Senior Newsletter

COOKOUT WITH COPS This summer, the Orland Park Police Department held three “Cookout with Cops” 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 for providing free hot dogs to everyone in attendance.

CYCLE ACROSS ILLINOIS On July 14, the 20th annual Cycle Across Illinois made its way to the Orland Park Police Department. The charity bike ride winds through Illinois from Edwardsville to Chicago. This year, the event used the Orland Park Police Department as one of its many checkpoints. Cycle Across Illinois is an annual bicycle ride started in 2005 to remember our fallen heroes and to raise funds to assist their families in the healing process. Funds also support the Illinois Chapter of C.O.P.S. (Concerns of Police Survivors).
