A comprehensive community safety study aimed at ensuring the Oak Park Police Department is equitably delivering services to all is now complete.
Following a 14-month process, national consultant BerryDunn presented the results from its study to the Village Board this past November. The full report is available online at www.oak-park.us/BerryDunnReport.
The report provides dozens of recommendations related to Police Department staffing, personnel development, policies and procedures, impartial policing and transparency, utilization of technology and training.
Throughout the process, BerryDunn conducted interviews with Police Department staff, Village officials and members of the community. The final report also incorporated feedback gathered through several town hall meetings and surveys conducted online.
The origins of the community safety study trace back to the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder in May 2020 when there was a push among community members to examine the Oak Park Police Department’s use-of-force policies, training and use of technology.
While the third-party review may be complete, the work of implementing the recommendations in the report goes on for Village officials and members of the Oak Park Police Department.
