This is the third evaluation report on the status of the information technology enterprise system under development by the Chicago Police Department (CPD). Since 2001, the CPD, in partnership with Oracle Corporation and the Police Executive Research Forum, has been developing a state-of-the-art integrated criminal justice information system. This system "Citizen and Law Enforcement Analysis and Reporting (CLEAR)" is another step in the Department's ongoing quest to "police smarter" and be "intelligence driven." CLEAR is designed to provide anytime, anyplace access to vast repositories of centralized, relational data. In early 2004, the governor of Illinois and mayor of Chicago announced their commitment to building a single criminal justice database for the state and all of its criminal justice agencies. The new system "I-CLEAR" will eventually serve all of Illinois through a new partnership between Chicago and the Illinois State Police. Chicago's Office of Emergency Management and Communications and the federal Department of Homeland Security are also now involved in these developments as well. This report describes all of these initiatives, the "launch procedures" that lie behind them and their impact on policing through October 2004.
