The Bicycle Patrol unit is a volunteer unit of the Orland Park Police Department, composed of six sworn patrol officers, which is designed to utilize alternative patrol techniques to address all types of criminal activity within the village and enhance the community policing efforts of our department.

The Bicycle Patrol Unit has been developed to meet the following objectives:

• The Patrol of areas generally inaccessible to a patrol vehicle such as bicycle paths, jogging paths, parks and sports complexes to enforce all state statutes, traffic laws and village ordinances.
• Enhance the community policing efforts of the Orland Park Police Department by promoting positive contacts with the public in an informal setting that will enhance communication and lead to problem solving.
• Promote bicycle safety education with the public and in the schools.

Bicycle Patrol Officers are available for special functions such as block parties and community events by either e-mailing or phoning Commander Greg Okon at (708) 349-4111.
