Home & Business Protection Program LogoThere are two ways for people to obtain private security devices through the Home and Business Protection Program:

HBPP Rebate Application

Chicago residents and businesses who have obtained security device(s) on or after 6/6/2022, can apply for reimbursement.

HBPP Income-Based Application

Eligible Chicago residents can receive security devices at no cost based on their income.

APPLICATION STATUS

You can check your application status online. You will need the following information:

  • Submission ID number
  • Email address


Optional Camera Registration with CPD

Applicants who are interested in aiding the Chicago Police Department (CPD) during criminal investigations have the  option  to register their camera system at chicagopolice.org/cameraregistration.

Registration of the camera system location with CPD is NOT required to obtain devices through the City's Home and Business Protection Program.

For residents who decide to register their cameras, CPD will not have direct access to the camera system and cannot access camera footage without consent. By registering, residents simply allow CPD to request camera footage in the event of a crime. Residents reserve the right to refuse access to camera footage at all times.
