The Chicago Public Safety DataHub provides a citywide view of crime trends, criminal justice system performance, and community-level data. The website has two complementary components: a collection of public and proprietary data on public safety outcomes and a data-driven presentation of the implementation of the Civic Committee’s public safety strategy.

The site draws public safety data from the City of Chicago, Cook County, and peer cities, broken down by violent crime, the criminal justice system, and a community area map. A survey of Chicago residents’ perceptions of safety provides public sentiment data on how safe residents feel at home, on the street, and in the presence of strangers, as well as their perceptions of the police.

The website also tracks progress on implementation data from the Civic Committee’s Public Safety Task Force strategy to tackle barriers to a safer Chicago. The task force is pursuing an ambitious four-pillar strategy, and users can explore these by topic: community violence intervention (CVI), hiring initiative, public safety infrastructure, and community economic development.

This is a dynamic resource, and the Civic Committee and NORC will add additional data sources over time. The website is designed to be a foundational, non-partisan, and user-friendly resource for all Chicagoans.
