What is a
CAPS Beat Facilitator:
An unpaid
volunteer appointed by the Chicago Police who is a
resident or stakeholder that lives or works in the

police-community partnership as effective as
possible. The Beat Facilitator serves as a
“translator” or “communicator” between beat
residents, stakeholders and the police.
