Administrative and Police Records Office Hours Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Administrative offices are closed on Sundays. Obtaining Copies of Traffic Crash Reports Copies of Motor Vehicle Crash Reports are available either in person at the police department during regular business hours, or by mail. Copies cost $5.00 and may be paid by check or cash (never send cash through the mail !). To request a copy, please provide the Date of the accident and the Police Report Number . Motor Vehicle Lock Outs As automobile manufacturers install better theft deterrent systems in their products, it is becoming increasingly difficult for the police to unlock a car. The police department will only attempt to unlock vehicles for residents of Oakbrook Terrace. All others are referred to call a local service station or locksmith of their choice. The police department does not assume any liability for damages caused in our attempt to unlock a motor vehicle, and requires the owner to sign a waiver indemnifying the City and the Police Department from any damages. Site Security Surveys The police department will provide a free security survey of any business or residence in Oakbrook Terrace upon request. To set up an appointment call the Administrative offices at 941-8320 and ask for either Sgt. DiPompeo or Deputy Chief Kolberg. FOID Applications To lawfully possess a firearm in the State of Illinois, you must possess a valid Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) Card. Applications are processed by the Illinois State Police for a nominal fee. Application forms are available free at the police department during normal business hours. Please note that possessing a FOID card does not give the owner authorization to carry or use a firearm unlawfully. Illinois is not a concealed carry state. Gun Locks The police department, in cooperation with Lieutenant Governor Corinne Wood, offers free gun locks to residents for their firearms. Project Homesafe promotes safe and responsible firearm ownership and storage. Locks may be picked up at the police station during regular business hours. Business Keyholder Lists Owners of businesses in Oakbrook Terrace are required to provide after hours keyholder information to the police department as a condition of receiving a business license.

In the spirit of the fraternal nature of law enforcement, we ask that your agency include it's patch in the request.
