• Annual custom crime audit. CWB’s research team will create a custom report exclusively for you. The report will map crime hot spots and plot crime statistics and historical performance in a 2-mile-square zone centered on your home address—or any address that you choose within the city. Also included: Details of all registered sex offenders, gun offenders, and violent crime offenders within your zone and a summary of the allegations that were made against them (Cook County convictions only).

Tier 3—$999 a year or $89 per month
• Ideal for block clubs or neighbors who want to combine resources.

• You will receive all features of lower tiers.

• Monthly custom crime audits. The report will map crime hot spots and plot crime statistics and historical performance in a 2-mile-square zone centered on your home address or any address that you choose within the city.

• Weekly arrests summary. This custom-made report includes mugshots and allegations against all individuals arrested within your customized zone. Also included: charges, judge, bail, and the accused’s relevant criminal history. (See customization option below.)

• Option: Sponsors at this level may opt further customization. As an example, restaurant operators may prefer to receive a special report that provides mugshots and allegations for North Side cases that involved a restaurant setting (i.e. wallet and phone thieves). Community groups may prefer a custom report that collects similar information for North Side garage burglaries or theft from auto cases that result in arrests. These reports could help sponsors identify individuals who have been accused of relevant crimes in other areas of the North Side.

About CWBChicago 4272 Articles
CWBChicago was created in 2013 by five residents of Wrigleyville and Boystown who had grown disheartened with inaccurate information that was being provided at local Community Policing (CAPS) meetings. Our coverage area has expanded since then to cover Lincoln Park, River North, The Loop, Uptown, and other North Side Areas. But our mission remains unchanged: To provide original public safety reporting with better context and greater detail than mainstream media outlets. Our editorial email address is news@cwbchicago.com
