The CHICAGO Plan is a Chicago Police Department initiative that works with the business community to attack crime and gang offenses and to help make Chicago a safer city.
The CHICAGO Plan asks business owners across the city to register their privately owned closed circuit security camera systems and devices. As the Police Department responds to criminal incidents in the community, they can use any information or footage gathered from these security cameras to assist business owners and community members in the apprehension and prosecution of the criminals involved.
There are two ways that you can register:
- Complete the Chicago Plan form online via the Chicago Police Department’s CLEARpath webpage at www.chicagopolice.org.
- Download and complete the Chicago Plan Form at your local district police station. Completed forms can be turned in to your District’s Community Policing Office or faxed to the Chicago Police Department CAPS Project Office at (312) 745-1099.
