You are cordially invited to join Chief James Black and members of the Crystal Lake Police Department for coffee, conversation, and an educational program. 

Coffee with the Chief provides residents with an opportunity to personally meet with their Police Chief and other police representatives in a friendly, causal and informal setting.  Residents will learn about current crime related topics, discuss community matters of interest and get to know Chief Black and his staff.

During this segment of Coffee with the Chief, members of the Investigations Division will present an educational seminar on Crime Prevention through Environmental Design.  The concept of this program involves the examination of the physical environment surrounding a residence or multi-housing property and what residents can do to reduce the potential of being victimized by crime.
