Crime is rising in DuPage County
We are organizing concerned residents to educate their neighbors, improve policy at the local level, and make our neighborhoods safer. Are you in?
You're Not Imagining It
Criminals don't stop at County Line Road. What starts elsewhere has a way of showing up here — in our neighborhoods, on our Main Streets, and near our schools.
Violent Crime on the Rise
DuPage County's violent crime rate has been climbing roughly 7% per year. While DuPage is still safer than Cook County, that gap is closing and the trend is heading in the wrong direction.
Crime Doesn't stop at the county line
Organized theft crews, carjacking rings, and repeat offenders originating on Chicago's West and South Sides are increasingly targeting our communities, using I-88 and I-290 to access DuPage County.
High Value Targets in our backyard
Major retail corridors on Route 59, Butterfield Road, Ogden Avenue, as well as Oakbrook Center - the largest open air mall in the nation - are active targets for organized theft operations originating in Chicago.
Your Property Value is at Stake
People invest in DuPage county because of our high quality of life. Every uptick in crime - every incident that makes the news - chips away at the reputation that protects your home's value and your neighborhood's future.
Policy Failures are driving the rise in crime
Illinois' SAFE-T Act and cashless bail impact
The elimination of cash bail means violent offenders often walk free within hours of arrest. Repeat gun offenders are released pretrial, only to reoffend before ever facing justice.
Springfield Ignoring collar counties
The lawmakers behind Illinois' criminal justice reforms don't live with the consequences, DuPage residents do. Decisions made in Springfield are directly affecting public safety across every town in this county.
DUPAGE CAN'T FILL ITS OWN POLICE RANKS
The DuPage County Sheriff's Office has reported double-digit staffing shortages, with the department relying heavily on overtime just to maintain basic coverage. Experienced deputies are retiring early - many citing Illinois' SAFE-T Act as the reason they don't want to stay.
