Since 1919, the Chicago Crime Commission has represented the Chicago business community’s efforts to reduce crime and support law enforcement. From helping to take down gangster Al Capone, creating the first Public Enemies List that was later used as the FBI's Top Ten Most Wanted, to publishing the Gang Book as a comprehensive guide to combating and understanding violent street gangs, the Chicago Crime Commission has been committed to addressing public corruption and violent crime. The Commission also maintains one of the oldest and most extensive historical archives on Twentieth and Twenty-First century organized crime. Today, the CCC continues to partner with local and federal law enforcement to benefit all Chicogoans on behalf of the business community.

In an effort to increase reporting of violent crime and hate crimes, the Chicago Crime Commission has partnered with the FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals, and Cook County Sheriff’s Office to introduce an Anonymous Crime Reporting Hotline. The hotline allows Chicagoland residents to call any day, any time and provide information regarding crime in their communities. The Commission sent postcards to residents in the city’s most high-crime neighborhoods in an effort to ensure residents in these areas can report crime without fear of gang retaliation.
The Chicago Crime Commission’s Gang Book publication is an acclaimed compilation of current gang trends. The Gang Book is used as a tool to assist law enforcement, educators, and community justice partners in combating and understanding gangs. This comprehensive guide represents the culmination of the Commission’s collaboration with federal, state, and city law enforcement partners and gang investigators. The Gang Book is distributed to every law enforcement agency in the city and state, as well as to schools, and is designed to prosecute, address, and reduce gang violence. It includes detailed gang profiles and maps, an explanation of the role of social media in gang interactions, information regarding suburban gang activity, an outline of the intersection between gangs and trafficking of guns and drugs, and a compilation of resources for parents and communities.
Each year, the Chicago Crime Commission proudly hosts over 500 Chicagoland law enforcement officers and community justice partners at its annual Stars of Distinction Awards Dinner. Award recipients are recognized for their invaluable contributions toward improving and protecting the Chicagoland community, and fallen heroes are commemorated and remembered. The Commission expresses its immense gratitude to the men, women, and K-9 officers who work to make Chicagoland neighborhoods safe.
