To enhance community police patrol, the Oak Forest Police Department maintains a K-9 unit. Officer Orry (4 legs) and his partner Officer Jason Vodnik (2 legs) serve as the city's K-9 unit. 

The K-9 unit assists in searches for hidden suspects, apprehends fleeing suspects, searches for missing persons, searches for evidence or narcotics, provides a visual deterrent for crime, and makes many celebrity appearances at local schools and events.
