POLICE & PUBLIC SAFETY

Special Olympics Torch Run Members of the Orland Park Police Department proudly participated in the 2026 Special Olympics Torch Run, carrying the Flame of Hope through our community alongside fellow law enforcement agencies. Thank you to everyone who cheered on the runners and supported this incredible cause. Every step helps raise awareness and support for the athletes of Special Olympics Illinois. Cookout with Cops Thank you to those who stopped by Veterans Park and Brentwood Park for our annual summer Cookout with Cops events. These events are great opportunities to connect with officers and the community. Duckling Rescue Mission There was quite a commotion when several ducklings took an unexpected detour into a sewer drain. As the rescue efforts unfolded, a very worried mama duck looked on nearby, keeping a close eye on her babies and the crews working to save them. Thanks to the outstanding work of our Animal Control, Fire Department and Public Works crews, the ducklings were rescued and reunited with their relieved mother! This rescue is a reminder that no call is too small and that teamwork makes a difference for all our residents, including the feathered ones. Great job to all involved!
