The Oak Park Police Department has issued a series of public communications regarding police activity and community safety requirements.

Both residential and commercial property owners are required to obtain installation and operation permits before activating such systems. This regulatory framework is designed to ensure prompt emergency response while minimizing false alarms that could divert public safety resources.
