Neighborhood-level problem-solving is facilitated through a range of strategies, including the presence of beat officers, regular Beat Community Meetings that engage both police and residents, comprehensive training for both parties, streamlined city services impacting crime, and the integration of new technologies to target crime hot spots.

Under Alderman Mitchell's leadership, the 7th Ward recognizes that effective crime prevention extends beyond law enforcement efforts alone. It requires a collective commitment from the police, community members, and City government collaborating harmoniously. Alderman Mitchell, or a representative from his office, actively participates in each beat meeting, demonstrating a dedicated commitment to enhancing public safety in the 7th Ward.
