Have you been stopped by an officer of the Evanston Police Department? Were you not given a contact card after being stopped but can’t remember the officers name? Were you a witness to an incident that you want to file a complaint but didn’t get a name or starnumber?

Our team of policy experts, data analysts and investigators have been leveraging FOIA along with state and federally supplied data to take a deeper look into what is really happening with policing in Evanston.

Hello to Citizens’ Network of Protection’s Supporters and Followers. I haven’t been connecting to the community in a meaningful way since March 13. We’re sorry we are currently reachable only by phone and email as COVID-19 has put a damper on our working out of the office. During this time we are working remotely to keep to our goal and mission of educating Evanston residents on their rights with the new state and city laws placed on the books. We need the voices, the volunteers and the funding to re-imagine community policing that works for everyone. Please follow us on Facebook to keep on top of the latest developments.
