ADMINISTRATION
This Department is responsible for organizing, planning, directing, and evaluating the Village Police Department. Also the Office of the Chief of Police directs the formulation and implementation of Police Department philosophy and standards; formulate and approves short and long term goals and objectives; and plans and budgets for all Police Department functions including

The accreditation program required our agency to comply with 459 law enforcement standards in four basic areas: policy and procedures, administration, operations and support services.

This accomplishment represents the satisfactory completion of a continuous process of thorough agency-wide self-evaluation, concluded by an exacting outside review by a team of independent assessors, and a final interview with the CALEA Board.

The Oak Brook Police Department has earned a place in the upper echelon of the nation's law enforcement community by receiving the distinguished status of being an accredited police department.  We have met the professionally recognized criteria for excellence in management and the delivery of excellent service.

The accreditation of the Oak Brook Police Department is for three years.
