Orland Park, IL (October 20, 2023) - The Orland Park Police Department is proud to announce the launch of the groundbreaking Fusus program, a cutting-edge initiative aimed at integrating business and home security camera assets to create a safer Orland Park.
"The Fusus program represents a significant step forward in our ongoing efforts to ensure the safety and security of our community.

This innovative program harnesses the power of technology and community collaboration to enhance public safety and crime prevention efforts.

By integrating security camera assets, we can respond more effectively to incidents, deter criminal activity, and ultimately, solve crimes faster,” explained Orland Park Police Commander Kenneth Rosinski. “This program exemplifies our commitment to leveraging technology and fostering collaboration to create a safer environment for all residents and businesses."
Key benefits of the Fusus program include:
1. Enhanced Crime Prevention: By integrating security camera assets, law enforcement gains a broader and more comprehensive view of the community, deterring criminal activity and reducing the likelihood of incidents.
2. Rapid Incident Response: Real-time access to camera footage allows the police department to respond swiftly and effectively to emergencies, improving overall public safety.
3. Efficient Investigations: The availability of high-quality video evidence significantly aids in identifying suspects, solving crimes, and bringing perpetrators to justice.
4. Community Collaboration: The Fusus program fosters a strong partnership between law enforcement and the community, empowering residents and businesses to actively contribute to a safer Orland Park.
The Orland Park Police Department assures residents and business owners that their privacy and security are of utmost importance. Access to camera footage will be strictly controlled and limited to authorized personnel, adhering to all applicable laws and regulations.
