The Orland Hills Police Department does not solicit door to door. During this crisis, there are people who would like to take advantage of the uncertainty that we are all experiencing.
If you are approached by anyone claiming to be law enforcement call the non emergency number. We will respond and check the validity of their status.
Others may try and sell you hand sanitizer or test kits. These are scams and should be reported every time.
Our non emergency numbers are 708-349-4434 or 708-349-4111 and ask for dispatch.
Working together we can keep our village safe.

Every day, people across America fall victim to crimes. A majority of these incidents are “crimes of opportunity”. Crimes of opportunity are crimes that are unknowingly facilitated by the victims, such as leaving your car or home unlocked. A criminal will take advantage of these situations to deprive you of your possessions.

While Orland Hills does not have a high crime rate, some of our residents and people who visit our village have been victimized by a criminal act. Many of these incidents could have been avoided by simply locking a car door or not leaving valuables in plain sight. Some criminals will steal your possessions no matter how hard you try to safeguard them.

Following these tips may help keep your valuables in your possession:

• Always lock your car when leaving it unattended.

• Never leave your car running unattended.

• Trim back high bushes near your doors and windows.

• Turn on outside and inside lights when you’re not at home.

• Have a neighbor pick up your mail and newspapers when you are on vacation, better yet have them park in your driveway while you’re gone.

During the holidays, thieves will actually follow delivery trucks, snatching the packages that the driver leaves at peoples’ front doors. Thieves will also cruise around neighborhoods in search of boxes left at front doors—and steal them.
Here are numerous tips on how to protect packages, that are being sent to you from theft, and also how to safeguard anything you’re sending out. 


-Get a tracking number from the shipping company.
-Require a signature with the delivery.
-If you won’t be home, have the company leave the package at a local shipping center.
-Set up an obvious surveillance camera with your home security system.

 

The scam begins with something most grandparents don't get enough of -- a phone call from a grandchild -- or so the caller says. But it almost always ends with a desperate plea for money.

They call senior citizens in the U.S., impersonating a grandchild in distress, begging for cash.

This is how a typical call would go, 'Hey, how are you, hi grandma, hi grandpa... I'm in a little bit of trouble right now. If I tell you, just keep it between us, I'm on vacation, but I got into trouble, and I was arrested and need you to send me money/gift cards wired or an account opened immediately.

 

The holiday season is upon us, and many pet parents plan to include 
their furry companions in the festivities. As you gear up for the 
holidays, it is important to try to keep your pet's eating and exercise 
habits as close to their normal routine as possible. Also, please be 
sure to steer pets clear of the following unhealthy treats, toxic plants 
and dangerous decorations.
