Beverly Hills/Morgan Park is one of Chicago’s safest neighborhoods. BAPA, local organizations and citizens work side-by-side with the Chicago Police Department 22nd District to address crime concerns and promote crime prevention.
BAPA actively supports the 22nd District Police, maintaining a strong working relationship with local police and an important line of communication that helps make our community’s response more expedient and effective if crimes do occur. Our police offer crime prevention, and awareness programs for all residents.
BAPA works closely with the 22nd District Police CAPS Office to identify and address safety issues that concern Beverly/Morgan Park and provide avenues of sharing important information with our community.
Neighborhood residents are encouraged to take active roles in community safety: Attend beat meetings and get involved in CAPS committees to stay informed about local crime and safety issues.
