Inside Abandoned Chicago Police Department
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 окт 2024
- Designed by local Chicago architect Paul Gerhardt in a somewhat brutalist stone-block style and constructed for just a mere $265,000, the two-story Chicago police departments Precinct, was built in what was then a dense, aged city neighborhood on Chicago’s infamous Southside.
When it officially opened April 1, 1952, the Indiana limestone-clad building featured a homicide division and detective offices, but most notably was the cell block. In later years, the precinct became the main police station to infiltrate and tackle Chicago’s notorious gangs throughout the south side. This precinct became known for being as tough as the gangsters and criminals that were jailed inside.
But after nearly 60 years in the law-and-order business, the police station was finally closed in 2012.
In 2012, when then Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced that the always cash-strapped Chicago police department would be closing the cities precinct, it was initially met with some resistance.
The mayor quieted some of the harsh criticism by claiming that closing the precinct would save the City of Chicago, the Chicago Police Department, and the taxpayers several million dollars a year. Additionally, the closure would allow more police to be on the streets patrolling the most crime-ridden neighborhoods around the city.
Although the decision to close the police station did save Chicago money, unfortunately the crime rate skyrocketed within just a year of the precinct closing, resulting in more questions than answers.
As you can see from the video, this Chicago abandoned police station was a very interesting explore. The abandoned police station was loaded with criminals’ files, mugshots, crime reports, booking information, fingerprinting machine, and even most wanted posters. Finding an abandoned police station with so much stuff left inside is pretty rare to come across, so we wanted to make a video to show you all just how crazy this explore was. As we come to the conclusion, we hope that you all enjoyed this abandoned police station video. For more photos from this place and our other locations, check out abandonmedcentral.com.

Love how an electric company will shut off your power for missing a payment or two. Yet us tax payers are paying for the power in this and who knows how many other abandon buildings.
So true! Would hate to know exactly how much money they are taking from us
They call and say my bill is past due before the due date even arrives. The powers been on here for over 10 years. Maybe the police department is still paying the electric bill but i doubt it.
I worked for a telephone company and some of our equipment was in basements of businesses and hospitals. The power had to be left on to keep the telecommunication equipment running.
I’m genuinely surprised this building isn’t occupied by homeless people.
@@connieo3618 serious question I’m ignorant on the subject. But if it’s empty and abandoned why would the comm equipment need to be running? Would it destroy your comm equipment? Not being a smarty pants I just want to know.
I remember your vid on this place, it was my intro to your channel. You doc'd blood samples, very surreal. Excellent footage!!
Love your videos Fran and Bob! Thank you!
Glad you like them! Thanks for the support Katie!
All those mugshots are all 051 Young Money members, like Big A, Rose, Rocko, etc.
THF as well Drexside TTB I think Dellmob too
@@DJ-iu5bb Yessir. DellMobb, HOBOs, MetBoyz, etc.
that's really a wee bit crazy... thanks for sharing with us 🤘
Thanks for watching!
Great video thanks for the description in the title. So they closed it down to save money and have more police on the street and within one year the crime rate skyrocketed 🚀
Thank you for watching!
Cool, not very often you come across an abandoned police station!
Smash TV Canada dis one with a prison
The power is on but still this building is falling apart it’s clearly getting neglected and abused I wonder how many other buildings are like this thank you for this video
The Power is STILL ON !!!
How do you maintain continuity of care with the paperwork left behind
Yessss🙌🙌🙌 Sick video guys!!
Thank you Alison! It was great to get out and explore with ya'll!
Was it hard to get inside to explore it? Any tips if we already know where this is want to respectfully explore it? (Going alone so want to be as prepared as possible).
I bet it'd be hilarious if any gang members in the photos watched this video
I came across this by accident, a few of those members are well known from the chicago rap scene and their crimes there are full videos about some of them, mainly Rock Head, Rose and Big A. Those were 3 of the photos hanging up.
Another cool explore, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching Kevin!
How can I go here? I live in the city
Wonder how many of em are still alive.
The girl top left is dead that’s Big A
Rose is locked up for a Murder
Might be nice to put a link to the old video...
Funny how I got here by one of your tags inside a building from another video by This is Dan Bell, got really curious by the #bwordliveson so I just searched out and now I'm here, great content! Nice pics! Love these urban exploration vids!
Don't know how I missed this comment but I apologize. Thanks for checking out our video. Becca is greatly missed by so many. 😢
So very cool
Thats a Big precinct
Yes it is, larger than most police stations we've explored.
Sure does look creepy I would love to go there with a voice box see what went on how many spirits are there.
Thank you for watching!
Neat video
Why would they shutdown any police station in Chicago? Sounds sketchy
Not sketchy at all. It's about money.
This is a station that was at least mostly cleaned out.
There have been explorers finding full evidence lockers.
KEEP SHOWING FACES..I hope your not in Chicago when you post this 🤣🤣
Very cool
Could you just imagine if they smashed Detroit and Chicago together.. 🤣 ...cuz they definitely look the same
Haha 051 rose
@@daopposition6548 what?
You ever hear about lost evidence on cold cases? Wonder how something like that happens? Well we just saw one example. Incredible that professionals would leave a mess like this. Just lock up and leave. Chicago tax payers footing the power bill also. Wow. Just wow.
051 rozayyy 😂
How many of the gang members in the mugshots are dead now or rotting in a cell?
I didn't do too much research on each of them but I think at the time we edited this video there was 4-5 of them that were dead.
@@abandonedcentral Any idea from what year that board was from?
@@CrossmoorMafia The guys in the mugshots were prominent in 2010-2015. One of the marker boards was last updated in 2011.
Who cares 🤷♂️ 😅
I wonder how many homeless stay in there to keep warm or cool. Is the water still on
No the water doesn't run anymore. The police keep this police pretty locked down. I been there 4 different times and there wasn't any homeless staying there.
@@abandonedcentral it would be nice if they would make it a homeless shelter instead of just letting it rot to the ground.
Oh yeah the decay of Chicago.
Gang bangers 🥺😳
damn all the criminals are black there . I didn't see anyone from other countries . all was black
What's your point?
I bet your a direct relative to king Leopold talk about the millions of people those white leaders killed and stop worrying about black Street level criminals.
Its almost as if that police station is in a black neighborhood..
Ricky Anderson Aka 051YM ROse I think is half Mexican
Why blcks also be doing nonsense like gangsters
