Chicago
has a new
partnership between
police and  community,
CAPS -- Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy.
CAPS
brings the police, the community, and other City agencies
together to identify and solve neighborhood crime problems,
rather than simply react to their symptoms after the fact.
Problem solving at the neighborhood level is supported by
a variety of strategies, including neighborhood-based beat
officers; regular Beat Community Meetings involving police
and residents; extensive training for both police and community;
more efficient use of City services that impact crime; and
new technology to help police and residents target crime hot
spots.
The
44th Ward is comprised of the 19th Police District (bounded
by Lawrence, Clark, Fullerton, and the Chicago River) and
the 23rd District (bounded by Lawrence, Lake Shore Drive,
Fullerton, and Clark).
CAPS
has monthly community meetings where residents have the opportunity
to talk to the officers who patrol their neighborhood. Residents
are encouraged to bring questions or concerns regarding safety,
quality of life issues and City services.
Please
visit the district maps and find your police beat. Find your
beat on the table for your CAPS meeting time and location.
