Summary
Trustees approved an intergovernmental agreement that will let Tinley Park patrol officers and dispatch access approved District 230 campus security cameras in potential threat situations; Chief Tilton said access will be instant under the agreement when preapproved by the district.
Tinley Park trustees voted Jan. 21 to approve an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Consolidated High School District 230 that, as described in the committee discussion, will let village patrol officers and dispatch access District 230 camera feeds for situations the district preapproves.
Chief Tilton told trustees the program formalizes District 230’s participation with the village’s video integration program and said it would allow officers and dispatch to “see potential threat situations inside the school through their campus.” When asked about response time, the chief said the agreement provides for immediate access to permitted cameras so responding officers can view and locate threats while en route.
Trustees asked procedural questions about timing and access. Chief Tilton said the village is pursuing similar agreements with other school districts and that the District 230 arrangement will be a model for those discussions.
The committee approved the motion by recorded roll call. Trustee Brady, Trustee Wagner, Trustee Mueller, Trustee Shaw and Trustee Sullivan voted in recorded support.
What’s next: Implementation steps, such as specific access procedures and camera lists, were not read into the committee record; operational details will be developed by police and school-district staff under the agreement.
