The Partners for Safety initiative kicked off earlier this year with a State of the Neighborhood Forum. Members of Loyola’s Campus Safety department joined 49th Ward Alderman Joe Moore and representatives from the Chicago Police Department and Chicago Transit Authority to discuss existing safety initiatives in the area and to address questions from the audience. Moving forward, this group will continue conversations to strategize and overcome the most pressing barriers to safety in the community and propose tools for educating and informing neighbors about safety initiatives.
