We monitor the Chicago Police Department records daily, publishing the crimes that occur in our coverage area as a feature for our subscribers, and we're usually adding a couple to several new crime reports every day. We've been doing this now for over four years.

On rare occasions, we have no crimes recorded for that day, such as this past Oct. 9, 2024 .

However, I've never see a two-day stretch of no recorded crimes for Chicago's McKinley Park neighborhood, until now: I'm happy to share that both Tuesday, October 15, and Wednesday, October 16, tallied no crimes reported for Chicago Police Beat 912 and the part of Beats 911 and 924 that overlay our neighborhood.

Congrats to the McKinley Park neighborhood for positive signs like this. Of course, there's still problems everywhere, including the horrible domestic abuse-related homicide on Oct. 13 South Damen Avenue, but lack of crime reports for any single day for our urban neighborhood are notable, much less a two-day "peace wave." Well done!
