Take Action
Make a difference! See below on the actions you can take to improve our public safety system:
-
The City of Chicago has launched a free and voluntary camera registration program open to anyone who lives or operates a business in Chicago. If you have a private security camera that captures the public way and you are interested in assisting in an investigation in the event of a crime in your neighborhood, you can register your camera with the Chicago Police Department. By registering your camera, you are simply allowing the Chicago Police Department to contact you in the event of a crime in your area. The Chicago Police Department will not have direct access to your camera system and cannot access camera footage without your consent. There is no requirement to provide footage at any time.

Help us spread the word to local business owners about mental health crisis options available in the district. We will be going to local businesses and passing out the mental health crisis card we created and answering questions about those services. We can also share about our District Council work and talk about public safety in the district.

We, as a community, advocated for our 19th District Alders to vote down the private arbitration provision. 5 of our 6 Alders did just that (twice), and the court recently ruled that while officers may choose to have their cases heard in arbitration, any arbitration for serious misconduct must be public. This is a victory toward transparency and accountability.
