CHICAGO: "Governor Pritzker announced Tuesday the creation of a citywide unit in Chicago that will deploy “peacekeepers” to provide crisis support. The Citywide Crisis Prevention & Response Unit will have over 30 peacekeepers and street outreach partners to “provide essential assistance in de-escalation, conflict resolution, and crisis support across Chicago.” Announced ahead of Memorial Day weekend, the unit is now permanent in Chicago.

“In preparing for Memorial Day weekend and the unofficial start of summer in Chicago, it is critical that we have as many stakeholders as possible at the table to ensure peace and safety on our city’s streets”, said Mayor Brandon Johnson.

Last Memorial Day weekend, over 50 people were shot, including nine fatalities."
