Chicago Police Department's FY24 PNC Public Safety Project

The City of Chicago will be hosting the 2024 Democratic Presidential Nominating Convention (2024 DNC). Delegations from all 50 states, as well as federal, state, and local dignitaries, government officials, guests, and other visitors interested in the event will be in the city and are expected to number in the tens of thousands. To ensure the safety and security of everyone arriving in Chicago because of the 2024 DNC, the Chicago Police Department (CPD) has planned and will implement safety and security measures in partnership with federal, state, and local stakeholders that will be supported utilizing funds appropriated for the FY24 Presidential Nominating Conventions. The purpose of the grant is to support law enforcement related activities associated with the 2024 Presidential Nominating Conventions. The primary activities include deploying personnel and other necessary resources aimed at ensuring the safety and security of the PNC and acquiring law enforcement related commodities and services to achieve a successful event. CPD also intends to use 2024 PNC funds to execute subawards with mutual aid partners who will provide related law enforcement services during the event. For this purpose, the city has instituted a robust system to administer grant funding transparently and to adequately document, oversee, and reimburse subrecipients.
