Every day we publish new crime statistics for Chicago's McKinley Park neighborhood, based on public data that we sort, clean up and make intelligible, and then publish as a subscriber feature.

I'm happy to report that on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, Chicago's McKinley Park neighborhood recorded no crimes!

There certainly may have been unrecorded criminal activity that day, and there may be recorded crimes from law enforcement agencies we do not monitor. However, days with no local recorded crime are a positive benchmark: usually the McKinley Park neighborhood logs between a couple and several daily.

Congratulations to our community! I think this is a testament to the overall safety McKinley Park offers and our community's high levels of civic engagement. Our public safety can always improve, but days like Wednesday, October 9, show we're moving in the right direction.
