Postcard Project

In an effort to increase reporting of violent crime and hate crimes, the Chicago Crime Commission has partnered with the FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals, and Cook County Sheriff’s Office to introduce an Anonymous Crime Reporting Hotline. The hotline allows Chicagoland residents to call any day, any time, and provide information regarding crime in their communities. The Commission sent postcards to residents in the city’s most high-crime neighborhoods in an effort to ensure residents in these areas can report crime without fear of gang retaliation.
