Police host regular monthly neighborhood
meetings
Regularly
scheduled monthly neighborhood meetings give residents a forum
for voicing concerns, asking questions and discussing issues
with their Resident Beat Officers (RBO). A meeting is held
every month at 7 p.m. on the same date in the same place in
each of the Village’s eight community policing zones.
Discussion topics are wide ranging, including home security,
traffic and parking issues, crime statistics for the area and
crime prevention tips. Discussions focus on the neighborhoods
within the individual beats since needs and issues can vary
from zone to zone. The Resident Beat Officer Program promotes
communication at the neighborhood level by assigning officers
to work from their homes, which are located in their respective
beats. Information on each community policing zone, including
direct telephone numbers and email addresses for each RBO, is
posted at www.oak-park.us and broadcast on VOP-TV6. Information also
is available by calling 386.3800, the Oak Park Police
Department’s non-emergency number.
