Keeping our Kids safe

Petition Drive to keep Sexual Predators out of the Library.

Over the past few months, I have been conducting a listening tour throughout Tinley Park and in talking to residents, I have heard some concerns about suspicious individuals at the Tinley Park Library.

Upon hearing these concerns, I immediately took action. First, I FOIA’D the calls for police service at our library. Second, I started researching what other libraries have done when confronted with these concerns. Shockingly, I found that there really are no policies in place to protect our children from potential dangerous predators.

As a father of two young children who frequent our local library, I find this unacceptable. This is why I am starting a petition drive something to create awareness about the need to address these serious concerns. It is available online and I also will be taking it door to door. Please go to www.CCTP2017.com to sign the petition or download one to distribute in your neighborhood.
