Chicago Police Supt. David Brown announced Friday that the department’s Neighborhood Policing Initiative program will expand to the Grand Crossing, Englewood and Gresham districts.
The initiative, modeled after the New York Police Department’s Neighborhood Policing program, encourages district coordination officers to engage with residents on a personal level, providing a direct contact between community members and the CPD.
The officers, equipped with cellphones, are to share business cards with residents so they are easily reachable.
“This DCO program requires our officers to go to the community and the settings in the community, even if that means going door to door,” Brown said before speaking to trainees of the program at the McCormick Place Lakeside Center.
