CAPS Beat 1812

Beat 1812

2nd Wednesday of every month

7:00 p.m. at Lincoln Park Hospital

550 W. Webster

The Chicago Police Department runs a community policing
organization called CAPS, or Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy.
CAPS brings the police, community, and other City agencies together
to identify and solve neighborhood crime problems. 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


• New technology to help police and residents
  target crime hot spots

To demonstrate support for crime victims, CAPS' runs a court
advocacy program in which community volunteers identify and track
court cases and attend court proceedings that are of concern to the
community. Attendance at court shows support for victims and lets
the judge and defendants know that the community is concerned about
the outcome of the case.
