COPA had a great time engaging the residents of Chicago in the community during the week of 12.22.25. This week our Public Affairs team was in the Belmont Cragin community.
Our office is committed to helping residents understand how to file a complaint or compliment an officer and explain to the public our role in police oversight. Below is a brief description of our most recent community engagement efforts. If you are interested in COPA speaking to your community group or organization, please submit a request via email to COPA-PublicAffairs@chicagocopa.org
Belmont Cragin United Christmas Car Lights Night – December 23, 2025
COPA had a great time attending the Belmont Cragin United Christmas Car Lights Night. This volunteer run event brought holiday cheer to over 200 community members and included cars decorated in festive lights, snacks, pictures with Sante & the Grinch. COPA was able to set up a resource table and give out snacks and information on our role in police accountability.
