What is CAPS? CAPS stands for Chicago Alternative Policing Strategy. CAPS is a partnership between police and community that is the foundation of community policing. CAPS uses Beats to develop relationships between the community and the police.
CAPS meetings offer city residents an opportunity to address crime and safety issues directly with the beat officers who patrol their neighborhood, as well as to provide ongoing feedback, which help the police to monitor crime issues. The beat meeting is a chance to meet your neighbors and come up with strategies that affect the community.
Beat Meetings will be held via ZOOM until it is safe to meet again. ZOOM links will be posted when available here and on RNRAChicago.org on the Events/Calendar page.

In the week of 2/15/2021, the City of Chicago increased capacity of indoor service at bars, restaurants and event venues to the lesser of 40% capacity or 50 people per room or floor. This increase is due to the significant progress that Chicago continues to make in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic and is based on the framework for reopening that Chicago announced last week.
In order to ensure that the reopening does not endanger the progress made in recent weeks and months, all other existing regulations for businesses remain in place for now and are listed below:
Health and Fitness Centers
Indoor Recreation
Movie Theaters and Performance Venues
Retail Stores
Museums
Personal Services
Places of Worship
This cautious expansion of indoor service is possible due to Chicago recording fewer than 400 new COVID-19 cases per day, based on the seven-day rolling average, for each of the last three days. This means that all four metrics that Chicago is using to determine when and how to cautiously reopen have now moved into the “Moderate-Risk” level for at least three days, allowing for this expansion of indoor dining. The following metrics are being used to determine the process for continuing to ease COVID-19 regulations:
Most people are surprised to learn that the state might have their missing money or unclaimed property – and they don’t even know it.
How much money? More than $3.5 billion. You can see if your name is among the thousands who have missing money by clicking here. Search your name, a relative’s name, the name of a business or the name of a non-profit.
Why might the treasurer have your money? Sometimes, a letter or check is mailed to the wrong address. Examples of unclaimed property include unpaid life insurance benefits, forgotten bank accounts and unused rebate cards. The State Treasurer is legally required to return the property to the rightful owner no matter how long it takes.
An estimated one-in-four people in Illinois have unclaimed property. Because unclaimed property is surrendered to the treasurer’s office twice each year, you should check the database twice each year; for example, on your birthday and six months later. Go to illinoistreasurer.gov and learn more.
