  • Communities Partnering 4 Peace (CP4P)

    CP4P employs community-based violence prevention solutions. CP4P works directly with individuals at high risk of shooting or being shot. They accomplish this by developing authentic, trusted relationships in communities, and by providing trauma-informed wraparound services. Their outreach workers are capable, skilled, and dedicated professionals who live and work in the communities they serve. They offer a series of comprehensive programs designed to intervene in gun violence as it happens, provide wraparound services, and build trust and communication within the communities to prevent future violence.

  • In Chicago, quiet hours are observed between 10 PM and 8 AM in areas within 600 feet of a residential district.

    During these hours, activities involving the loading, unloading, handling of boxes, crates, containers, building materials, garbage cans, dumpsters, or similar objects should be carried out in a way that does not cause a noise disturbance. These activities must be avoided between 10 PM and 7 AM.

    Motorized equipment, such as those used at construction sites, are prohibited from operating between 8 PM and 8 AM.

    Please note that City of Chicago work, including water and sewer main projects or road construction, as well as emergency private utility work, is exempt from the noise ordinance.

    If you encounter a situation that requires immediate attention, please dial 9-1-1.

  • Public safety is a top priority in the 46th Ward, and keeping our community safe requires everyone working together. Here’s how you can help:

    When a Crime Occurs

    1. Call 911 immediately and file a police report. You can do this in person at 850 W. Addison St, 5400 N. Lincoln, online, or over the phone. Be sure to keep your R.D. number for follow-ups.

    2. If you witness a nonviolent mental health crisis, 911 calls between 10:30 AM and 4 PM are redirected to Chicago’s CARE team for specialized support.

    3. Reach out to our office or the 19th or 20th District CAPS Office for updates on crime trends, community safety efforts, or specific cases.

    After a Crime Occurs

    • Stay informed by following cases through the court system with our office or the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County at (312) 603-5030.

    • Participate in the court advocacy program to show community impact at hearings.

    • Check the Cook County Sheriff’s website for offender custody status.

    Before a Crime Occurs

    • Attend police beat meetings and engage in discussions with CPD on safety trends.

    • Register your security cameras with CPD to help solve crimes in your neighborhood.

    • Businesses can apply for security camera rebates through the Lakeview Roscoe Village Chamber of Commerce.

    • Sign up for Smart911 to receive alerts and share key household information with emergency responders.

    • Report streetlight outages to 311, as well-lit areas deter crime.

    How Our Office Supports Public Safety

    Alderwoman Clay’s office serves as a direct line of communication between residents, CPD, the State’s Attorney’s Office, and community organizations. The office advocates for:

    • Increased police presence when necessary.

    • Safer infrastructure through the $1.5 million Menu Budget.

    • Legislation that prioritizes community safety.

    When to Call 911 vs. 311

    • 911: For emergencies, crimes in progress, or immediate threats.

    • 311: To report abandoned vehicles, streetlight outages, or non-emergency issues.

    Public safety is a collective effort. Stay informed, stay engaged, and work together to keep the ward safe.
