Public Safety
A Step Ahead
Shaun Whitehead envisions a future where public safety in Oak Park continues to evolve through cutting-edge technology, strategic investments, and a highly trained, well-equipped first responder team. His leadership has already strengthened the city’s safety infrastructure with the implementation of body cameras, expanded resources, and the hiring of nine new officers to maintain strong public protection.
Looking ahead, Shaun is committed to building on this foundation by advocating for innovative solutions such as drone-assisted emergency response, advanced training programs, and modernized fire and police equipment.
The recent acquisition of a state-of-the-art, million-dollar fire truck demonstrates his dedication to providing first responders with the best tools available to protect the community. By continuously improving safety measures and investing in forward-thinking initiatives, Shaun ensures that Oak Park remains a secure, resilient, and well-prepared city for generations to come.
