UPDATED June 7th

We are aware some Owners and residents have run into issues with subscribing to the 48th Ward Newsletter, and opting in to the Crime Alert option.

When you try to subscribe to the Newsletter or opt in to the Crime Alert, some users are getting a “We’ve Run Into An Issue” error message.

We do not have any information beyond this or what the problem is at this time, but we will keep up to date the 48th Ward updates from their website. Once we learn the problem has been resolved, we will post updates. It appears the website is not having any problems, so you can also visit there for more. https://www.the48thward.org/

UPDATES TO OUR PUBLIC SAFETY ALERT SYSTEM – MAY 29, 2024

OPT IN TO CRIME ALERTS

Based on feedback from our neighbors and commitment to our values of empowerment, antiracism, and community, our office is updating our public safety alert system. Newsletter subscribers must now opt in to receive crime alerts. Only subscribers who have opted in for these crime alerts will get them. We will also no longer share these alerts on social media.

NOTE: We will continue to send emergency safety information to our entire newsletter mailing list (regardless of opt-in status) in instances where there is an active threat to 48th ward neighbors’ safety. We will also continue to share this information on social media.

2. You will receive an email confirming your request. Click the “Update your preferences” link.

3, Check the box under “Subscribe to Crime Alerts?” and click the “Subscribe” button. Note: You can update your preferences at any time.
