Tim McCarthy, who served as police chief in Orland Park for 26 years, said it is an 'unbelievable honor' to have the village's police station dedicated in his name.
As a large black cloth was pulled back Monday to reveal a sign dedicating the Orland Park police station in his honor, former Chief Tim McCarthy joked he was happy to see it happen “while I’m still alive.” McCarthy, who was chief for 26 years, said the dedication of the facility an unbelievable honor. The Village Board voted in June to name the station for McCarthy, who joined the department as chief in 1994 and retired in August 2020.
McCarthy praised the mayors and village trustees he worked with over the years, noting support from elected officials is a key to the Police Department’s continued success. He also praised the work of department employees who served under him. “They’re the ones that got me here, so to speak,” he said. McCarthy said he had no idea he would be chief so long, noting that the typical police chief might serve about five years. “I had no idea it would be 26 years,” he said.
