ACQUISITIONS WHAT IS THE CHICAGO CRIME COMMISSION? The Chicago Crime Commission is a nonpartisan volunteer organization founded in 1919 by a committee of the Chicago Association of Commerce. Its basic purpose is to act as an inde~ pendent investigative agency representative of the public interest in matters concerning the quality of criminal justice services provided to citizens in the greater Chicago area. Because membership and support for the Commission comes from concerned and reputable citizens, many of whom hold leading positions in the business community, the Commission does not rely on taxes or an affiliation with any government agency. For seventy years, the Commission has distinguished itself as a repository of the most comprehensive private records on crime and criminals. Daily, the commission acts as an expert source for law enforcement, the media, scholars, legislators, the judiciary, and businesses ... locally, nationally, even internationally. But the Commission does not function solely as a passive extension of the criminal justice system. Under the direction of its Board, President, and Executive Director, the Commission is actively involved with trying to correct inadequate laws and procedures; uncovering and pun~ ishing crime and corruption; and, encouraging all honest public officials to improve the quality of services provided by criminal justice agencies.

ACTIVITIES AND SERVICES • Judicial evaluations • Operating an anonymous 24 hour "Report Crime" hotline • Surveying police procedures for handling criminal evidence • Forcing the expedition of old pendIng criminal cases • Position papers on various topics: gangs, prostitution, and gambling • Internship for college students • Focus on specific areas of the criminal justice system through the following Committees: Corrections, Courts, Legislative, Narcotics and Drug Abuse Preven tion, Organized Crime, Police and Urban Crime Prevention • Publication of "Who's Who in Organized Crime" The Commission also serves as one of the few existing conduits for an exchange of infor mation between the business world and law enforcement agencies.
