THINK ABOUT IT


in most every
field, digital media have

of CHICAGO'S bygone

INDUSTRIAL-AGE

that of ITS heavily-armed, drug-dealing,

yearn FOR SAFETY

we yearn FOR A city that's
safe for everyone. a city where
you can go anywhere without
fearing for your life

this yearning is the unheard
voice and force of chicago's #1
digital-age public safety resource:

the people of chicago

chicagoans will make chicago safe with
a digital-age public safety strategy
that earnS THE respect and trust
OF CHICAGOANS of all ages
and backgrounds

a strategy that begins with
A FORMAL COMMITMENT TO

citywide safety
