Telecommunicators are responsible for maintaining a vital link between the public and patrol officers in the field. Telecommunication officers handle many types of calls and situations daily, from routine to emergency, critical incidents. The dispatcher provides a necessary, indispensable function for the public and the patrol officer alike.

The Communications Center serves as the Primary Public Safety Answering Point for the Village of Orland Park and the Village of Orland Hills for emergency police, fire, and medical services. The Center provides both emergency and non-emergency radio and telephone communications for both villages and is staffed 365-days-a-year with a minimum of two full-time telecommunicators on duty at any given time.

Please remember that the Center has a limited amount of emergency 9-1-1 lines. The department urges residents to use 9-1-1 for emergencies, please use (708) 349-4111 for non-emergency service.
