Make the Right Call
In an emergency or non-emergency, it's important to know who to call for assistance. While it may seem clear to call 9-1-1 for emergencies, some issues, such as when a situation does not pose an immediate threat but may require police assistance, can be directed to the City of Chicago's non-emergency 3-1-1 City Services center.

From Alderman Hopkins: Reminder to Keep Dogs Leashed
As a friendly reminder, please keep your dog(s) leashed when utilizing public spaces outdoors. Unfortunately, many complaints are received about dogs off-leash attacking small dogs, young children, and adults. With school out for the summer and warmer weather upon us, we can expect more foot traffic at our famed parks and recreational attractions. Be courteous and keep your dog(s) leashed. For a list of dog-friendly areas nearby, click here. For the full ordinance, please click here.
