Conversations with a Commander
"I am a lifelong resident of Chicago. I attended public schools here in the city and so have my children. I enjoy spending time with my family in and around Chicago. My vision is to bring our neighborhoods and communities closer by being inclusive and welcoming, as we work together to reduce crime and increase the feeling of safety for residents, visitors, and commuters. Our residents and business owners can help by being involved through block clubs, attending beat meetings, and joining together to look out for their neighbors as we work together to make the district safer for all. I also hope to encourage residents from all of our very diverse neighborhoods to join our police department and serve as role models for their communities."
— Commander Brendan McCrudden
