Chicago Avenue and State Street; a troubled River North intersection as of late, including a deadly mass shooting late last month.
"We have been getting guns, arresting people for those things, carjackings. We've made some carjacking arrests. And all of this has been done in unison with the Chicago police department and we are seeing very positive results," Dart said."I have a lot of other areas I have to cover, but to squeeze areas where I feel we have things pretty well covered and bring resources into areas where Chicago will tell me we could use a little bit more help and the data shows that.
On May 4, Sheriff's Police officers, along with CPD, responded to a large fight that occurred at the first block of West Ontario Street in River North at around 3:30 a.m. With a move planned to an area CPD has been covering, for a reason. The sheriff's office is"exploring a second location" in River North, and Ald. Brian Hopkins said it will be at Chicago and State.
