Ward by Ward: Police Calls in Oak Forest in April, Ward 2

With the help of the Oak Forest Crime Prevention Committee, Patch shares the city's calls for service for the month of April, broken down by ward.

 

Each week, Patch features items from reports on file at the Oak Forest Police Department. Although not all accounts are reported in the Patch police blotter, the Oak Forest Crime Prevention Committee compiles the number of calls of service monthly, by type and location.

This week, Patch gives you the rundown of what was called in and where during the month of April. Patch will feature one ward per day over the next week. See how Ward 2 compares to others throughout the week, and check out how April's stats stack up to March. You can also compare these stats to Ward 1. Unsure of which ward you live in? Visit Patch's Oak Forest 101—a quick summary of the most important facts about Oak Forest.

*Note, these statistics are gathered from the Oak Forest Police Department's Daily Call for Service Log reports.

These indicate calls for service, not criminal crime statistics.

Yes...we are right down the block from the train station and right off of I-57 and the forest preserves and it is rare to see any cops around!
