The City Manager's Office works cooperatively with all city departments to prepare the monthly operations report. This document was developed with the intent to create an additional communications tool highlighting ongoing and seasonal activities of each department. The report is intended to provide a "snapshot" of departmental operations and significant city activities on a monthly basis.

City residents now have access to comprehensive demographic information, emergency response reports, socio-economic data and more thanks to the brand new Forest Park CRAIG 1300™ assessment dashboard.

Created using the latest innovative technology, the user-friendly platform will also be implemented by city officials to identify, evaluate and mitigate public safety risks throughout the local community. There is NO COST to access the dashboard.
