CLEARpath Recognized as a National Model

CLEARpath is a program of the Chicago Police Department which provides an interactive website offering the communities and residents access to police crime data and other resources that allow them to work on safety and security issues more successfully.  Millennia consultants facilitated the community planning process sponsored by LISC/Chicago that engaged three pilot neighborhoods in the development of the website.  Recently, the New York Times mentioned the CLEARpath portal as a national model.  Click to learn more about CLEARpath.  And click to read the NY Times article.
