Event Calendar

COPA attended the Community Commission for Public Safety & Accountability (CCPSA) CPD Superintendent Search Forum, which was held at Kehrein Center for the Arts. This was the first of four community forums held as part of the search for Chicago’s next police superintendent. Attendees at the meeting were able to share their views on the qualifications and experience they want to see in Chicago’s next superintendent.

On Saturday, April 22, 2023, COPA along with other city departments will participate in Chicago’s Annual Clean & Green Day of Service. This event, which coincides annually with Earth Day, is an opportunity for residents, community groups and city departments to join together and beautify Chicago neighborhoods through the cleaning and maintenance of vacant lots. Beautification of neighborhoods is a vital component of public safety and COPA is proud to join in the effort.
