The Orland Park Police Department invites local teens to enjoy a free, one-day look at local law enforcement. The program introduces teens to a number of the department's programs and responsibilities. The program will start at 8:00am and end at approximately 2:00pm.

Participants must pass basic background checks and space is limited.

Participants will learn about recruiting, training, dispatch, patrol, K9, traffic enforcement/DUI, internet investigations, and more.

The Teen Citizens' Police Academy will consist of one five-hour session with lunch provided by the Village of Orland Park. Those who complete the academy will receive certificates.

Applications are available by calling the Orland Park Police Department Investigations Division.
