Crime Stopping

City Launches Security Camera Program

The City of Chicago has launched a free and voluntary program to enlist the use of security cameras, maintained by private businesses, to aid in criminal investigations. You can register with the Chicago Police Department if your company has a security camera capturing the public way and are interested in assisting the police in the event a crime occurs in your neighborhood. The Police Department will not have direct access to your camera system, cannot access camera footage without your consent, and there is no requirement to provide footage at any time.

To participate, click here to register the location of your camera.

Recycling Chicago (click on red & underlined items)

Learn about the City's Household Chemicals & Computer Recycling Facility (HCCRF), where you can take hazardous household and automotive chemicals. They'll take your old electronics and computer equipment too, and you won't even have to get out of your car, unless you want to peruse the shelves of free chemicals available to take home.

"Tip the world over on its side, and

everything loose will land in Los Angeles."

Frank Lloyd Wright, author of the headline quote and one of America's greatest architects, created a shopping center in Beverly Hills, and five homes and a retreat center in California. However, the Chicago suburb of Oak Park has more homes designed by Wright than anywhere else in the world.
