From our Beat Officer Robert Primak

Greetings,

I would like to take a moment to thank all of the citizens and business owners of not only zone 4 but throughout the village for their continued support of the Oak Park Police Department.

Please continue to call the police and report any suspicious activity that you may observe. By working together we can make our community a safer place to live, work and play. Our officers have made a number of excellent burglary arrests from calls reporting suspicious activity.
