Chicago Neighborhood Policing Initiative
Chicago NPI is an intensive neighborhood-based policing philosophy that emphasizes relationship-building and focuses on the top priorities of community members.
Modeled after the Neighborhood Policing model in New York City, the Chicago Neighborhood Policing Initiative (Chicago NPI) is designed to increase positive contact between police officers and neighborhood community members, in which there is collaborative problem solving and real accountability for addressing neighborhood concerns, in a way that will establish trust and confidence in the police.
AT THE CORE OF CHICAGO NPI IS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT – A PROCESS THAT GIVES COMMUNITY MEMBERS A MEANINGFUL VOICE IN HOW THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS ARE POLICED.
The goal of this collaborative effort is to bring community members and police officers together as partners to create a shared vision of public safety and how to achieve it.
