OAK LAWN, IL — In his first order of business as the newly sworn-in mayor of Oak Lawn, Terry Vorderer penned a letter May 13 to residents, addressing Illinois House Bill 3653, also as the SAFE-T Act. Vorderer, a longtime Oak Lawn police officer who achieved the rank of division chief of patrol upon his retirement, is encouraging residents to reach out to their respective state lawmakers to request a trailer bill be developed in collaboration with the law enforcement community before HB 3653 before it takes effect July 1.
