“A vast majority of those arrested by the Orland Park Police Department due to violation of gun laws are convicted felons with prior arrests for unlawful use of a weapon,” said Rossi. “Many are found to be out on bond for similar charges. Unfortunately, we have grown accustomed to seeing our efforts wasted as offenders are released on little to no bond for their crimes.”
“The upcoming SAFE-T act provision eliminating cash bond will only make matters worse, explained Rossi. “Our hope is to keep more illegally-possessed guns out of Orland Park by keeping the offenders who choose to bring them here in prison.”
