Chicago School Hotline Aims to Reduce Violence

August 10, 2010

Chicago Public School students will be able to tip police off about after-school fights and other violence anonymously via a new hotline, signed into law by Gov. Quinn.

Backers hope the hotline, due to be set up by January, will encourage students to break the code of silence protecting gang members and help prevent shootings and fights.

State Rep. Monique Davis, who sponsored the bill, said the hotline will be answered by Chicago Police officers.
