An Oak Lawn trustee said that backers of legislation calling for police reform have forgotten one important group the victims.
“I don’t know about you, but it concerns me that legislators can talk about police reform but say nothing about the victims,” said Trustee Alex Olejniczak (2nd) during the Oak Lawn Village Board meeting Tuesday night. “If there is such a demand for police reform, why not get information from the police? But now we have multiple criminals who come into our village and pull a gun on our victims.”
Olejniczak asked Police Chief Dan Vittorio during the meeting if legislators had asked for any input regarding police reform? Vittorio replied that he was not notified.
