What is criminal trespass in Chicago?

Criminal trespass is knowingly entering or remaining on property — land, buildings, vehicles, or state-supported facilities — after being told not to, or without authority. Illinois law (720 ILCS 5/21-3 and related sections) grades most trespass as a misdemeanor, with enhancements for residences and critical infrastructure.

Chicago PD descriptions split trespass by location: "to land," "to residence," "to vehicle," and "to state-supported property" (schools, transit, public housing). Retail and transit trespass reports — people refusing to leave after being barred — make up a large share of the category.

LocalCrimeVault has 9,469 criminal trespass reports indexed in Chicago — 2.2% of all tracked incidents. The most recent full month on record (June 2026) logged 375 reports, up from 78 in May 2026.
