Chicago closed 2014 with historic lows in crime and murders. The
year saw murders decline by -3 percent and overall crime decline
by -15 percent, as the city recorded the fewest murders since 1965,
the lowest murder rate since 1966, and the lowest overall crime rate
since 1972. The progress is a result of the Citys community policing
philosophy, increased investments in prevention programming, and
strong partnerships with community leaders and residents.

Decentralized Implementation
Geographic Responsibility
Centralized units were disbanded and vital resources returned to district law
enforcement with a focus on beat integrity
This concept gives the officers assigned to the beat a stake in their
assignment and a sense of pride in realizing the goals revolving around
crime suppression on their beat.
provides a level of geographic authority and a level of accountability which can be reviewed
at weekly CompStat meetings
can only be done by minimizing unnecessary calls for service and allowing more time for them
to engage the community that they serve
Beat Integrity revolves around the same beat officers assigned to the same beat
answering calls for service and conducting police enforcement and intelligence
gathering solely on that beat.

Supervising sergeants have the final authority regarding dispatching of their police
officers and will consistently utilize this authority to counteract beat integrity gaps as
well as direct resources.

Enhanced Communications

Media Outreach
As communication is a crucial part of the Department's Community
Policing Strategy, a robust media strategy is essential in the
implementation and execution of this strategy, publicizing agency
objectives, community problems, and successes.
Both traditional media and social media will be key components of
the overall media strategy.
Social media will be strategically utilized to get info out - to and from the different
members of the community, to enhance public safety and help solve crimes,
victimization, and deal with other issues as they arise.
The Office of News Affairs (ONA) will continue its role as the
Department's conduit to traditional (print and broadcast) media
outlets.
36
Field personnel should be encouraged to share any such information with ONA.
ONA will continue to disseminate positive stories via press release, media
advisory/press conference and social media.

Transparency
Enhanced transparency in all facets of Department function can
only work to strengthen relationships with the community we serve,
and thus is a vital aspect of the Community Policing Strategy.
While there are many important and legitimate law enforcement
reasons to be circumspect with regard to the release of information
e.g., integrity of investigations, privacy rights, pending prosecution or
litigation, etc., open communication and transparency must be
maintained.
Lesson learned - Ferguson, MO., a lack of information and
transparency on the part of law enforcement agencies breeds
distrust and allows misinformation to fill the vacuum.
