Community Policing

The mission of the Oak Park Police Department, in partnership with members of the community, is to provide quality police service through enhanced police/citizen interaction, emphasizing the highest degree of cooperation, professionalism and ethical behavior, and to create an atmosphere of safety and security. To this end, the Department has structured its organization and trained all of its members to be more responsive to the needs of the community at the neighborhood level. The approach has created a deeper understanding and appreciation of police work by citizens and a greater sensitivity to the concerns and problems of the citizenry by police officers, positively impacting citizens' willingness to get involved.
