While the department had asked for funding for six more patrol officers, the recommended budget includes money for one additional street cop, according to Hannah Lipman, assistant village manager.

Tinley Park’s proposed fiscal year 2025 budget earmarks more money for the Police Department, funds for electric charging stations at the village’s commuter parking lots and more spending on stormwater projects.

The general fund, from which many village operations are funded, such as public safety, calls for expenses of $71.8 million and revenue of $72.6 million. She said 43 patrol officers have been hired in recent years, although some of those were to fill vacancies created by retirements or officers leaving the department.

The new budget allocates $30 million for capital improvement projects, including almost $3 million for stormwater management projects, up from $1.4 million this year.
