Recreational Programs: The Illinois State Crime Commission aims to promote positive relationships between law enforcement and the communities that they protect. To meet this goal, it offers various athletic programs and recreational activities, such as karate classes and mentoring initiatives, where these parties can come together and bond in a safe and fun environment.
Law Enforcement Seminars: The commission also offers free seminars for law enforcement, on topics such as gang violence, martial arts, and combat gun training, to keep police officers abreast of current issues and evolving fighting styles.
Legislative Efforts: The organization seeks to further relevant laws around Chicago, concerning issues that range from DNA profiling of juvenile sex offenders to taking guns away from convicted domestic violence offenders.
