Promoting public safety, house by house, block by block
Printable Public Safety Poster
Some of our UCC members have organized residents to come together to promote safe walkable streets. In 2009, Ed Kuske organized different groups of residents to do neighborhood watches. In response to some highly publicized street violence at their corner, James Cappleman and Richard Thale organized their neighbors to do 14 straight weeks of positive loitering last fall, leading to a story on the front page of the Chicago Tribune.
To encourage others to take positive action, UCC borrowed an idea from Ald. Mary Ann Smith and developed public safety signs for Uptown residents. The signs can be downloaded and printed on your own printer on an 8 ½ X 11 sheet of paper. Please consider downloading a sign and placing it in your front window to let your neighbors know that you're all looking out for one another.

(Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy)
The CAPS program, which began in Chicago in 1993, is a partnership
between the police and the community. It 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. Together we work to
identify and solve neighborhood crime problems, block by block,
and to improve the quality of life in Chicago's neighborhoods.

beat meetings are held.
