LETTER FROM THE CHIEF OF POLICE

Dear Orland Park Seniors,

This fall, the Orland Park Police Department held its annual Senior Luncheon at the Orland Park Civic Center. The event covered a wide array of topics pertinent to Orland Park Seniors. Our Second Annual Southwest Suburban Safety meeting was held at Village Hall. This informational event allowed local agencies to provide updates on safety in the region and residents to ask questions. It’s important to the department to host events like these in the community. Keeping Orland Park informed helps keep us all safer. You can view a recording of both events on the Village’s YouTube channel. I want to personally thank the families and friends who took the time to attend our community outreach events in 2024. As we continue our outreach programs in 2025, we invite you to stay active and participate. Our department events are not only excellent ways

to stay in touch with safety in Orland Park, but also foster and grow relationships with our officers. Please take the time to follow the Orland Park Police Department on Facebook, X or Instagram to stay up-to-date on important safety information, programs and events. Thank you for your support of the men and women of the Orland Park Police Department as we continue to do our absolute best to provide optimum safety and security services to the Orland Park community.

Incident reporting system for all non-emergency communications

The safety of residents and guests in Orland Park is the first and foremost priority for the Orland Park Police Department. We are proud of the fact that the Village of Orland Park has seen Index Crimes continue to drop below our 25-year average and crime in Orland Park has continued to decrease. With that being said, we must remain actively aware of those who seek to commit crimes in the Orland Park area. We ask that you, as residents of the community, do your part to let us know if you see anything that may seem odd or gives you concern. As always, we ask that if you SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING and give us a call at (708) 349-4111 for non emergencies or 9-1-1 in the event of an emergency.
