Title
Illinois State Police (ISP) - Interagency Agreement
History
The Police Department is requested to enter into an Interagency Agreement with the Illinois State Police (ISP) to provide office space to be used as a satellite office for two Traffic Crash Reconstruction Officers (TCRO’s) assigned to the Scene and Evidence Services Command of the ISP. This office space would be contained within the Investigations Division and the ISP TCRO’s will bring all their necessary equipment to complete their daily duties.
As part of this Interagency Agreement, the ISP TCRO’s will assist the Orland Park Police Department should the need arise for any traffic crash reconstruction resources. There is no impact to the Orland Park Police Department’s personnel or resources. While our agency has consistently demonstrated professionalism in handling traffic investigations, the complexity of modern crash reconstruction involving fatalities requires advanced equipment and dedicated resources. This partnership also promotes interagency collaboration and knowledge sharing. Our personnel will benefit from direct interaction with the ISP TCRO’s, creating opportunities for informal training and development of best practices. Finally, this partnership strengthens our department’s long-term capabilities and is not only a benefit to the Orland Park Police Department, but to the entire Village of Orland Park and the residents we serve.
Financial Impact
The above described services will be provided at no cost by the Village and State, respectfully.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve an Interagency Agreement with the Illinois State Police for a satellite office to be used by two Traffic Crash Reconstruction Officers pending attorney review.
