The
Alsip Police Department Crime Prevention Unit is
proud of the variety of programs and services it
offers to the residential and business community
of Alsip.
Our programs include the following:
Neighborhood
Organizations
The Alsip Police Department
recognizes that the strength and vibrancy of our
community is largely attributable to the
strength of its neighborhoods. Many studies show
that criminals target those areas where
complacency seems to be acceptable. Active
neighborhood organizations that work together on
improving the quality of life in their
neighborhoods send a different message. Some
neighborhood groups work together on such things
as improving the appearance of their
neighborhoods while others lobby our officials
for improved lighting or neighborhood park
improvements.
The Crime Prevention Unit
of the Alsip Police Department currently assists
active neighborhood organizations. Our Community
Services Officers are happy to attend meetings
and encourage those in attendance to bring their
crime and quality of life issues forward. Crime
Prevention Officers will also provide assistance
with meeting notifications as well as notify
residents of crime trends in their neighborhood.
Officers can also assist by organizing and
presiding over the groups initial meetings.
Neighborhood Watch
Community Services Officers
are available to assist neighborhoods in
starting a neighborhood watch. Officers will
assist with notifying other neighbors, presiding
over the first meeting, and addressing crime
problems in their neighborhoods. They will also
act as a liaison to other units of government
that may be able to assist with problems in
their areas. For more information, contact
Officer Jairo Gutierrez at (708) 385-6902 x249.
Crime Free Multi
-Housing
The Crime Free
Multi-Housing program is a unique, three-phase
certification program for rental properties of
all sizes. This program is designed to reduce
the incidents of crime at rental properties.
During the first phase, property owners receive
training from police officers and legal staff on
topics designed to increase their awareness of
crime and other city codes. During the second
phase, landlords are given suggestions on
property security and general building
appearance. In the third phase, the property
owner is asked to sponsor a safety social for
residents and neighbors. This is designed to
acquaint tenants with neighbors and neighbors
with the building owner. Upon completion,
property owners are provided with Crime Free
Multi-Housing signs to display on their
buildings along with permission to use the
patented CFMH logo when advertising vacancies.
Home Security
Surveys
The Alsip Police Community
Services unit would like to help you make your
home or business an uninviting target for
burglars. Police Officers, certified as Crime
Prevention Specialists, are available to conduct
a security survey of your home or business.
During this survey, officers will prepare a
written report and provide you with
recommendations for increased security. These
officers are able to provide tips on the obvious
things such as locks and lighting as well as
suggesting ways to landscape your property in
such a way that it encourages criminals to "move
on" to an easier target. Whether you have an
existing home or are considering building a new
one, we encourage you take advantage of this
free service by calling the Community Services
Unit at (708) 385-6902.
