The Evanston police force had a special warrant to arrest in the Chicago jurisdiction. How many Chicago police are poaching criminals from the Evanston side? Are there not enough criminalsin Evanston that the police have to come to Chicago for them?

Evanston NOW serves as the website for Evanston looking back toward Chicago (partially), it is only fair to have coverage from the Chicago angle looking north to the neighbor of Evanston.
This is not going to turn into a crime blog..... I can see how its fun to report on crime though and look for pictures for the story.
There is a legal concept called "hot pursuit". If law enforcement in one jurisdiction is in "hot pursuit" of law breakers and cross into another jurisdiction, for example across a state line, the legal principle can allow them to continue their enforcement activity. That might explain how Evanston police entered into the Chicago territory. This was an interesting post.
