Tinley Park Board Forms Crime Prevention Bureau
The Tinley Park village board approved a three year federally funded crime prevention program to educate and train two officers, provide materials and a clerk, and hire additional staff. A $63,000 first year grant with about $3,000 village match, then 75 percent funding in year two and 50 percent in year three, will support a bureau staffed by experienced police personnel and detached from patrol duties. Critics warned of long term costs, but proponents stressed education for officers and business communities to cut industrial and commercial crime.
