About us
CWBChicago was created in 2013 by five Chicagoans who had grown disheartened with inaccurate information that was being provided at local Community Policing (CAPS) meetings.

Our coverage area has expanded to cover other North Side neighborhoods. But our mission remains unchanged: To provide original public safety reporting with better context and greater detail than mainstream media outlets.
