Subject: [chicago-aneinu] Public Safety Update
Public Safety Update | | | | Dear Neighbor,
I am very upset to report that there were multiple distressing incidents in our neighborhood this weekend. Public safety is of the utmost importance, and the Chicago Police are closely investigating each case.
Vandalism was discovered at several local Jewish institutions and businesses. The police are still investigating whether the incidents are connected and if they were carried out by the same person or group of people. No official pronouncement has been made on a possible motive, but these have all the hallmarks of hate-based crimes.
These incidents are particularly upsetting as they come mere days after Holocaust Remembrance Day and in light of a worrying increase in antisemitism across the nation.
I want to assure everyone that the City of Chicago stands firmly with the Jewish community. The police are taking these incidents very seriously, as am I and all the City leadership. Hate has no place in this neighborhood, and bigotry will not be tolerated.
In an unrelated incident, on January 29 just after midnight, there was a shooting on the 6900 block of N. Western. A male was shot once and transported to St. Francis Hospital in stable condition.
The shooting is being investigated by Area 3 Detectives, and I will update you when more information becomes available.
In the meantime, I urge everyone to practice situational awareness and always pay attention to your surroundings. If you see anything suspicious, please call 911.
I also encourage everyone to attend one of the virtual police CAPS meetings this week to discuss safety concerns directly with the police and your neighbors. Both meetings will be held on Zoom.
The CAPS meeting for Beat 2411, stretching from Howard to Pratt and from Kedzie to Ridge, will be held on Tuesday, February 1 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Join at zoom.us/join using Meeting ID 858 9415 9936 and Passcode 182539.
The CAPS meeting for Beat 2412, stretching from Pratt to Devon and from Kedzie to Ridge, will be held on Wednesday, February 2 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Join at zoom.us/join using Meeting ID 873 5612 9439 and Passcode 629010.
I am as upset as you are by this news. The 50th Ward is a safe and caring neighborhood, and these incidents are not in line with our values. I will continue to communicate with the police, and I will update you when any more information becomes available. Sincerely,  Debra L. Silverstein Alderman, 50th Ward | | | | | Address: 2949 W. Devon Avenue Email: info@50thwardchicago.com
