The Crime Free Housing Program is a proactive partnership between the police department, property owners, and residents aimed at promoting safe, well-managed rental communities. The program is designed to reduce criminal activity, enhance quality of life, and establish clear expectations for accountability within residential properties.

Through this initiative, property owners and managers receive training on effective tenant screening, lease enforcement, and property management practices that deter criminal behavior. The program also encourages the use of crime prevention strategies, including environmental design and consistent property oversight, to reduce opportunities for unlawful activity.

In collaboration with the department, participating properties commit to maintaining safe living environments and addressing issues that impact the community. This coordinated approach supports long-term problem-solving, strengthens communication between stakeholders, and reinforces a shared responsibility for public safety.

The Crime Free Housing Program reflects the department’s commitment to prevention, partnership, and maintaining safe neighborhoods for all residents.

To receive training as a new landlord, contact the Crime Free Housing Department at (708)385-6902 Extension 2249 or by email cfh@villageofalsip.org.

The Alsip Police Department has created a new resource for citizens and business owners to assist in crime prevention and crime solving efforts. The Alsip Police Department is asking their residents and businesses to voluntarily register their personal security camera information with the Alsip Police Department. 

After a crime occurs, often times the first step in the police investigation is canvassing the area for security cameras, that may have captured evidence of the crime. While it would still be necessary for the police to canvass an area during an investigation, a compiled database of security camera information would help streamline the process and save valuable time and resources. 

The registration would consist of providing the resident or business location, how many cameras are present and who to contact information to view the footage.

After registering your cameras, the police department will not have access to your footage. That would have to be provided by the owner on a case by case basis and only select members of the police department would have access to your contact information.

The registration process is simple, fast and secure. To register, please fill out the following form that can be found here:
