The CHICAGO Plan is a Chicago Police Department initiative that works with the business community to attack crime and gang offenses and to help make Chicago a safer city.
The CHICAGO Plan asks business owners across the city to register their privately owned closed circuit security camera systems and devices. As the Police Department responds to criminal incidents in the community, they can use any information or footage gathered from these security cameras to assist business owners and community members in the apprehension and prosecution of the criminals involved.
There are two ways that you can register:

A holiday message from the Chicago Police Department:
Across the United States, 150 police officers have died in the line of duty this year. The Chicago Police Department alone has lost 5 police officers in the line of duty. During this holiday season, let’s honor our fallen officers by participating in Project Blue Lights. Through this program, citizens are encouraged to display blue lights in their holiday decorations to remember law enforcement officers who have fallen, as well as those working tirelessly to keep all of us safe. Let’s show our support!
Security cameras can protect your home and business. They deter crime from occurring and assist in solving crimes that have occurred. Now the City is working with citizens to tie their private security cameras into the City’s 911 call center, run by the Office of Emergency Management and Communication (OEMC). Exterior surveillance cameras tied into OEMC can be accessed during an emergency to provide first responders with information pertinent to the situation. Alderman Smith utilized this program at the public schools in the 48th Ward to great success. If you already have security cameras, or are thinking of installing security cameras, click on the brochure below or call OEMC at 312-746-9111 for more information.
