The Chatham Police Department in Illinois is taking a proactive approach to crime prevention with a groundbreaking initiative focused on addressing the underlying causes of criminal behavior before it leads to arrests. This forward-thinking strategy aims to steer individuals towards positive change rather than punitive measures.
In collaboration with deflection specialists from the Sangamon County TASC (Treatment Alternatives for Safe Community), the department has equipped all its officers with training to effectively implement this program. This partnership was announced through a Facebook post, highlighting the department’s commitment to innovative community policing.
