The city of Chicago’s violence is heavily concentrated in impoverished communities on the city’s Southside and Westside. Chicago Police Department’s use of TIPS grant funding will go to address the precipitous increase in gun crime in the Englewood District on the south side and the Harrison District on the west side. In an effort to develop new and effective innovative public safety problem-solving practices to address this precipitous increase in shooting and homicides, the CPD will use FY17 TIPS funding to: 1) will improve end-user experience of the already operational CLEAR RMS system; 2) develop and implement a web-based smart collaboration platform (SCP) in CLEAR; 3) train District personnel and other to use the SCP to identify, analyze, respond to, report on and monitor community concerns. Police Foundation and SEARCH provide ongoing support for any potential TTA identified or other issues to ensure the project implementation is on track. TA team continues to attempt to establish contact with appropriate CPD staff but the grantee has not engaged with the TTA team.
