As Chief of the Oakbrook Terrace Police Department,
it is my pleasure to welcome you to our "home page." Whether you are a resident
of Oakbrook Terrace, a business owner, someone who is planning to visit, or a cyberspace
explorer, I trust that you will find something of interest within these pages on how the
Oakbrook Terrace Police Department serves this community. The technology of the World Wide
Web is a natural complement to the community policing philosophy of the Oakbrook Terrace
Police Department. The Department strives to keep pace with emerging programs and methods
that will help us maintain a high quality of life in Oakbrook Terrace.
We believe by working in partnership with the community we can create a city where
residents and visitors can work, play, and relax in an environment of safety. Crime is a community
concern, and in Oakbrook Terrace we have created a public/private partnership that has
had an impact on crime. That partnership is made stronger by using every method we can
discover to help our citizens understand how the Department works in Oakbrook Terrace.
I encourage you to explore this Website, and if you are a resident or planning to
become a resident of Oakbrook Terrace, I urge you to consider becoming involved in this
community. Together, we can continue to work in partnership and make Oakbrook Terrace an
even better place to live.
Sincerely,
Mark R. Collins
Chief of Police
