Description
Criminal Justice Committee Meeting 03/09/2022 7:30am
A
A
C
A
D
D
The
other
good
news
is:
we've
been
informed
by
the
administrative
office
of
illinois
courts
that
our
grant
request
for
technology
improvement
for
the
courthouse
has
been
approved
in
the
amount
of
five
hundred
and
thirty
four
thousand
six
hundred
and
twelve
dollars
and
seventeen
cents.
That
is
going
to
upgrade
all
of
all
nine
courtrooms
for
the
modern
technology,
with
the
zoom
platform
and
computers
and
tv
monitors
and
sound
system.
D
D
Ever
since
I
started
ten
ten
and
a
half
years
ago,
the
va
system
to
the
sheriff's
office
has
been
nothing
but
problems,
and
I
always
said
well,
you
know
we
can
put
people
on
the
moon
and
talk
to
them.
But
you
know
we
can't
talk
a
couple
of
miles
south
of
town.
It's
just
been
a
real
problem,
so
we're
really
looking
forward
to
having
that
updated
the
jury.
D
Software
is
also
going
to
be
updated
and
brought
into
modern
technology
where
jurors
can
get
on
their
iphone
or
their
smartphone
and
connect
to
the
jury
system
and
ask
for
it
to
be
excused.
If
they
have
an
illness
they
can
check
in,
they
can
find
out
information
regarding
their
service.
So
that's
all
coming
about
quickly.
Here
we've
been
approved
and
we
need
to
to
go
ahead
and
spend
the
money
we're
also
getting
a
telephone
system
upgrade,
but
we're
using
the
old
phones
from
the
health
department.
D
C
D
C
A
E
E
E
What
I
was
just
going
to
say
for
the
document
shredding,
it's
part
of
the
basement
project
and
I
talked
with
the
chairman
wheeler
and
I
think
we'll
just
keep
putting
that,
along
with
the
other
project
that
I'm
doing
to
get
the
files
taken
care
of,
so
that
we
can
clear
out
the
basement-
and
this
is
supposed
to
be.
Eight
thousand
dollars
is
the
proposal.
F
E
The
shredding
for
those
files
is
included
in
that
price.
This
is
different
documents,
but
still
it's
just
it's
still
the
basement
project.
Okay,
okay,
so
then,
the
other
thing
that
I
wanted
to
talk
about
was
we
took
a
tour
anita
and
my
chief
deputy
debbie
and
my
traffic
supervisor
lori
went
to
two
counties.
Last
friday
we
went
to
lasalle
county
and
we
went
to
kendall
county
to
tour
their
case
management
system
and
their
courthouse
and
see
how
things
go
with
modern
technology.
So
it
went
very
well.
E
G
A
G
E
Going
the
vendor
that
she's
chosen
is
called
journal
technologies
and
they're
going
they
they
and
mclean
county
have
made
a
contract
with
that
company.
So
there's
about
five
or
six
companies
out
there
that
the
state
uses.
Seventy
percent
of
the
state
uses
gdc,
but
their
system
is
not
integrated
fully
like
what
we're
looking
for
with
you
know,
all
the
other
criminal
justice
stakeholders
so
journal
technologies
would
do
that.
A
A
H
A
A
I
The
other
decrease
I
mean
it's
I'd
like
to
say
it's
because
of
the
new.
You
know,
I
would
say,
the
things
magically
have
changed
in
the
last
two
months
and
obviously
criminal
laws
is
a
is
a
art,
not
a
science,
so
the
numbers
are
going
down.
I
think
that's
a
that's
a
compilation
of
all
the
factors.
You
know
the
courthouse
being
fully
restored.
I
I've
got
a
part-timer
down
in
traffic,
helping
out
the
full-timer.
I
think
that's
helping,
even
though
the
numbers
and
traffic
aren't
necessarily
going
down
yet
they
are
going
down.
I
just
think
things
are
finally
getting
back
to
normal
and
we're
just
kind
of
plugging
along
and
moving
the
cases.
So
you
know
it's
always
a
goal
for
me
to
move
cases,
but
you
know
as
an
attorney
and
as
a
defense
attorney
it
may
not.
I
You
know
the
client
comes
first,
so
if
it
does
not
benefit
the
client,
you
know
I'm
not
going
to
bums
russia
case
just
to
make
it
happen.
Obviously,
but
we
definitely
talk
about
it
in
the
office.
All
the
time
about.
You
know
the
backlog
at
the
end
of
the
day.
It
doesn't
help
anybody.
So
to
answer
your
question
that
you
didn't
ask
yeah
things,
things
are
going
down
slightly
correct,
good.
A
A
J
J
A
J
Well,
the
sheriff's
always
working
with
the
doc
on
the
right,
so
that's
always
a
battle
for
us.
As
you
know,
I
think
he
talks
about
that
quite
a
bit
in
this
meeting,
but
he's
always
working
on
that
and
him
and
chad
are
always
on
the
phone
and
the
words
that
he
uses
nagging
doc
to
try
to
get
that
taken
care
of
so
but
they're.
It's
a
constant
battle
for
us.
A
G
With
these
individuals
coming
back
in,
especially
those
that's
been
out
a
decade
or
two
where
they
society
has
changed,
is
there
anything
as
far
as
if
they
went
in,
they
could
get
a
ged
or
we
encourage
them
to
get
a
ged
or
a
process
that
helps
them
get
a
ged
and
move
on,
maybe
to
some
certificate
or
associate
degree
to
kind
of
help.
I
know
I
think
jones
or
someone
was
a
part
of
that.
Has
that
died
out
or
is
it
being
considered.
J
No,
it's
still
there,
you
know
we're
still.
The
ged
program
is
still
within
the
jail.
We
have
a
lot
of
programs
that
are
offered
throughout
the
jail
to
try
to
improve
on
the
recidivism
rate
and
and
there's
there's
a
lot
of
those
and
they're
still
there.
Obviously,
when
the
state
pulls
funding
on
some
of
these,
it
affects
us,
but
we're
definitely
offering
many
programs
within
the
jail
to
to
work
on
those
numbers.
K
J
J
But
I
will
say
that's
one
thing
that
we,
I
know
the
sheriff
brags
about
and
we're
proud
of,
is
the
programs
we
offer
inside
our
jail
and
we
get
a
lot
of
times
when
we
go
to
you
know.
You
know
people
come
back
with
our
programs
and
thank
us
for
giving
them
them
that
opportunity
to
get
in
that
program
to
help
them
out
when
they
came
out
back
on
the
street,
so
yeah
we're
pretty
proud
of
what
we
got
inside
that
facility.
K
Mr
chairman,
one
of
the
the
programs
that
the
sheriff
has
is
through
the
re-entry
program
that
jasper
jones
has,
in
addition
to
that,
is
also
the
executive
director
for
ken
kee
county,
renewed
opportunity
which
helps
with
the
transition
from
being
incarcerated
to
getting
back
out
into
the
community.
So
the
sheriff's
done
a
great
job
with
that
and
is
very
supportive
of
all
that.
J
Our
thinking
for
a
change
program-
yes
yep
yep,
I
mean,
like
I
said,
that's
we're
pretty
proud
of
what
we
have
in
there
to
help
help
these
individuals
out
that
need
it
are
through
our
drug
programs,
our
ged
programs,
I
mean,
but
obviously,
if
you
hear
of
any
ideas
or
programs
out
there,
we're
always
willing
to
meet
with
you
and
whoever
to
to
see
if
we
can
implement
them
in
our
in
our
in
our
system.
So.
C
Chairman
has
yes,
mr
hunter
yeah.
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
chairman,
and
congratulations
chad
on
your
promotion
and
I
think,
you've
been
weighing
in
the
wings
for
a
while
and
I'm
sure
you'll
do
a
commendable
excellent
job.
You
have
the
right
dna,
not
a
couple
of
questions.
Dna
is
in
the
room
of
course,
of
course,
and
the
other
half
is
at
home,
probably
watching
the
boss,
the
boss.
C
There
voted
that
down,
and
I've
talked
to
sheriff
downey
about
this
on
on
occasions,
because
we
think
it
would
be
invaluable
not
only
for
the
school
system
out
there,
but
also
helping
with
the
the
prevalent
crime
that
happens
over
there
at
the
citgo
station.
I
mean
we
hear
that
stuff.
All
the
time.
Will
you
guys
be
making
that
proposal
again
or
revisiting
that
or
you
have
to
interface
with
the
sheriff
about
that.
J
We
would
love
to
make
that
proposal
again.
I
think
we
think
it's
important
to
have
our
officers
in
the
school,
especially
in
today's
world,
where
there's
so
much
negativity
placed
on
law
enforcement.
I
think
it's
our
opportunity
to
talk
to
the
kids
while
they're
young
and
show
them
who
we
really
are,
and
I
think
that's
an
important
thing,
so
we
would
love
to
entertain
that
again.
C
That's
good
something
else
too,
and
I
don't
know
if
I
mention
this
to
you,
but
I
I
know
I
think
I've
mentioned
this
at
the
naacp
and
law
enforcement
meetings
every
other
month
the
naacp
meets
with
law
enforcement.
The
police
chiefs
can't
keep
bradley
bourbon
a
st
moments,
et
cetera
state
police
and
at
various
occasions,
iroquois
county.
The
sheriff
comes
as
well
too
other
individuals
from
other
parts
of
the
state
come
and
take
a
look
at
the
relationship
that
the
naacp
and
the
law
enforcement.
Have.
C
You
know
we
interface,
we
talk
about
hiring,
we
talk
about
body
cams.
We
talk
about
any
number
of
issues
that
are
germane
to
the
community,
in
law
enforcement
updates
of
the
police
chief
and
those
individuals
who
represent
the
various
departments-
good
stuff,
good
stuff
in
this
live
stream.
My
my
question-
and
this
is
probably
more
germane
to
some
outlying
police
departments
like
like
saint
anne
moments.
C
C
You
know-
and
I
was
wondering
had
you
guys,
given
any
thought
to
that
being
a
feeder
system,
a
feeder
system
to
those
departments
where
they
do
not
have
the
demographic
reflection
of
the
community,
in
other
words,
village
abc
you
know,
has
got
a
department
of
10
15
and
they
have
no
people
of
color
on
on
the
on
the
force.
Had
you
thought
about
working
with
your
guys,
your
people,
because
you
know
we
don't
have
a
problem
with
what
you've
done.
C
In
terms
of
corrections,
I
mean
that
that's
audible,
that
the
number
of
people
of
color
that
you
have
there
clearly
reflects
the
demographics
of
the
county
about
working
on
a
program
to
feed
some
of
those
correctional
officers.
With
the
background
in
law
enforcement
to
those
departments
who
are
in
dire
need
of
diversity
in
their
department.
That's
something
for
you
guys
to
think
about,
but
is
that
out
of
bounds
in
terms
of
something
for
consideration.
J
J
We
encourage
our
our
correctional
officers
to
become
police
officers
in
small
towns,
you're
right,
they're,
they're,
struggling
right
now
with
finding
police
officers
in
the
smaller
towns
and
we're
in
constant
communication
with
them
the
chiefs
to
try
to
help
them
out
because
they
pay
by
the
hour
they're
not
paid
a
lot
of
money
and
in
today's
world,
as
you.
Obviously,
as
you
know,
it's
hard
to
be
a
police
officer
and
for
14
15
an
hour
in
a
small
town.
J
It's
pretty
tough,
so
they're
they're
not
getting
a
lot
of
people
that
are
applying
for
it
and
they're
struggling.
So
we
we
offer
up
our
corrections,
officers,
obviously
for
recruitment,
but
we're
also
selfish,
because
we
like
to
hire
them
from
within
too,
because
you
know
they're
they're,
a
great
group
of
people,
so
obviously
we
take
advantage
of
them
they're
kind
of
selfish
and
and
try
to
grab
them
first
but
yeah.
C
J
I
do
okay,
I
talked
to
carrie.
We
have
three
dogs
that
are
available
for
adoption,
so
got
that
smile
on
your
face
there,
chairman,
oh
joe
joe
you're,
in
treat
oxford,
but
we
have
three
dogs.
I
know
we
were
giving
away
guinea
pigs
last
time,
so
it's
dogs
this
week,
but
we
had
three
dogs
available
for
adoption.
Please,
if
you
got
your
personal
facebook
pages,
please
share
the
stuff
from
animal
control.
Help
us
out.
Carrie's
group
works
hard
over
there
and
those
three
dogs
need
a
home.
J
J
A
J
A
L
So
they'd
go
back
into
the
community
and
supervise
there.
So
obviously
we
have
some
concerns,
because
that
puts
a
lot
that
puts
a
lot
of
pressure
back
on
local
communities.
These
individuals
turn
around
and
come
back
right
here
without
much
of
a
break
in
there
and
I'm
not
saying
every
juvenile
needs
to
go
to
prison.
If
you
want
to
say
it
that
way
and
be
there
forever-
and
I
I
understand-
that's
not
it's
a
big
deal
taking
a
juvenile
out
of
his
home
and
away
from
his
family.
L
But-
and
I
don't
get
too
much
ahead
of
this-
because
we're
gonna
have
the
meeting
but
there's
several
other
things
that
are
being
brought
up.
That
I
think
is
gonna
if
they
went
through,
could
put
a
lot
of
pressure
back
on
us
and
the
community
and,
as
we
all
know,
the
people,
the
field
units
for
parole,
do
a
great
job
but
they're
just
spread.
Then
they
have
bigger
regions
and
more
people
to
monitor
different
than
probation
departments
here
or
something
in
most
situations.
So
I'm
hoping
we
don't
have
a
date
for
that
meeting.
L
F
F
L
L
So
it's
in
a
weird
way,
a
break.
If
you
got
sentenced
and
then
released
back
to
the
community
at
least
we're
and
there's
the
other
part
of
it
too,
with
local
law
enforcement,
you
know
they
they
can
contact
us
anybody
in
our
office
immediately.
You
know
we
have
those
relationships,
they
know
how
to
get
a
hold
of
us
and
there's
issues
that
changes.
When
you
start
dealing
with
parole
and
people,
you
don't
know
and
and
individuals,
so
there's
a
lot
of
down,
it's
downsides
to
it,
but
again
I'll
probably
get
ahead
of
it.
L
We
could
have
the
meeting.
Maybe
they'll
answer
the
questions
a
little
differently,
but
I
just
want
to
give
you
a
heads
up
on
where
that's
going
and
there's
some
other
things
in
there
with
you
know
regional,
placing
these
miners
in
regional
settings
that
are
not
secured
buildings
and
different
things
like
that
that
we're
all
going
to
get
you
know,
try
to
figure
out
what's
going
on
and
what
their
timeline
is
too,
but
I'll
bring
it
back
to
the
committee
in
april.
C
Mr
hunter
got
a
question
tom.
Thank
you
very
much,
I
remember
several
months
ago
and
I'm
trying
to
remember
the
the
overall
situation,
but
I
remember
there
were
two
or
three:
they
were
twins
or
something,
and
then
real
stopped
me
from
mentioning
their
names
because
they
they
were
hellcats
on
wheels.
C
You
know
I
I
I
I
just
can't
see
them
curtailing
or
cutting
the
the
stay
in
these
facilities
when
they're
gonna
do
the
same
thing
when
they
go
back
to
that
maladaptive,
home
environment,
oftentimes,
single
ahead
of
households
and-
and
you
know,
babies
having
babies
and
they're,
not
really
equipped
to
to
run
a
family
or
teach
their
kids.
You
know
the
abcs
of
being
good
citizens,
but
yeah
tom,
hopefully
you'll
share
those
sentiments
that
that
we
have
and
we
harbor
regarding
letting
some
of
these
kids
out.
L
Yeah
and,
on
our
end,
we're
getting
ready
with
we're
trying
to
put
together
some
specific
information
examples.
Some
stats,
different
things
like
that
for
the
meeting.
So
we
just
don't
talk
in
some
general
term
that
this
is,
you
know
we
want
to
have.
You
know,
fill
in
the
blanks
for
them
during
that
meeting.
L
If
it
changes
anything,
I
don't
know,
but
you
know,
I
think,
I'm
hoping
it'll
be
interesting,
what
they
say
and
as
far
as
the
remote
or
the
remote
intake
units
and
people,
individuals
being
released
that
are
sentenced
to
djj,
but
never
go
there
and
are
really
straight.
It
just
seems
seems,
like
you
know
it's
a
problem,
so
I
mean
anyway,
we're
gonna,
hopefully
have
some
answers
and
I'll
definitely
let
them
know
everyone's
concerns
here
that
at
the
meeting
so.
G
Hearing
steve
is
also
our
probation.
I
it's
it's
alarming
at
best
when
we
see
the
youth
just
shooting
up
in
the
neighborhoods,
and
I
think
it's
a
culmination
of
what's
in
their
ear
and
what
they
see
around
them
on
the
tvs
and
the
whole
nine
yards,
but
as
much
as
we
will
try
to
do
everything
possible
to
make
our
community
safe,
it
will
never
happen
until
the
community
itself
comes
together.
G
L
I
think
one
of
our
examples-
we're
going
to
put
together
is
to
show
them
how
much
is
done
before
a
recommendation
to
djj
happens
and
before
a
judge
makes
that
sentence.
There's
a
lot
of
programs,
a
lot
of
things
that
we
do
over
a
long
period
of
time.
Very
rarely
does
a
juvenile
commit
a
crime
and
go
directly.
L
G
And
to
that
critic
of
the
juvenile
most
of
the
harder
core
criminals
use
them
because
of
the
lighter
sentence,
or
they
know
that
you're
going
to
release
them.
So
they
have
this
pressure
from
individuals
on
the
ground.
Some
of
them
don't
even
want
to
be
apart,
but
they're
forced
to
be
apart.
So
there's
a
lot
of
collective
elements,
that's
in
there.
G
That
has
to
be
addressed,
and
that's
why
I
say
it's
a
community
problem
where
the
community
has
to
sit
down
and
say
we'll
bear
about
the
responsibilities
as
well,
because
it's
not
the
one.
You
pointed
the
family,
all
you
want
they'll
say
we
can't
really
do
a
lot,
because
they'll
call
dcfs
on
us
or
they'll
leave,
so
I
mean
some
kind
of
way.
We
need
to
look
at
this
whole
picture
to
see
if
we
can
and.
L
L
Yeah
yeah,
but
when
certain
individuals
are
in
custody,
you
see
the
ripple
effect
of
things
quieting.
You
know
they
quiet
because,
like
you
just
said,
people
are
influenced
or
made
to
do
things
by
other
people,
so
we're
gonna
have
all
this
discussed
at
the
meeting
and
see
what
sounds
good
and
I'll.
Let
you
know.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
M
Morning,
sorry,
we
had
a
rough
night
last
night.
We
got
a
couple
autopsies
here,
starting
here
at
8
30.
So
in
our
my
summary
here,
which
I'm
using
this
particular
page
right
here,
which
is
february,
is
a
very
busy
month
and
then
basically
all
the
calls
will.
I
can
answer
any
questions
on
that
aspect.
M
M
Also
too,
that
the
drugs
are
changing
a
little
bit
now
to
methamphetamines
we're
seeing
a
lot
more
meth,
which
is
a
cheaper
drug.
But
there's
a
that's
been
mixture
with
the
last
one.
We
had
was
cocaine,
fentanyl
and
methamphetamine.
So
as
you
as
I
say
that
it's
being
mixed
out
there
for
sure,
but
fentanyl
still
still
leading
on
that
aspect
but
but
math
is,
is
starting
to
come
on
stronger.
C
We
talked
about
this
a
while
back,
and
I
know
as
of
late,
that
you
have
taken
more
initiative
in
terms
of
dealing
with
this
fentanyl
stuff
and
and
the
you
know,
the
reason
to
overdoses
with
fentanyl
and
stuff
and
us
making
the
chicago
news
and-
and
you
know
you
guys,
being
in
the
forefront
in
the
newspaper
in
terms
of
all
this
crazy
stuff
with
that
fentanyl
stuff.
But
you
know
you
remember,
and
I
think
you
you,
you
made
a
commitment.
You
would.
You
would
consider
this.
C
I
know
it
on
on
occasions
you
and
jim
rowe
kmeg
and
other
prominent
individuals
from
law
enforcement.
You
know,
have
gone
and
done
community
initiatives
or
you
did
something
with
the
nscp.
That
was
one
of
my
projects,
but
I
was
wondering:
would
you
not
that
things
are
toning
down?
But
you
know
it
seems
like
they
increase
in
terms
of
this
dope
stuff
in
terms
of
deaths
and
hummus.
C
C
You
know,
it'll
kill
you
and
you
know
the
conventional
thoughts
were
you
got
to
take
bunches
dope,
then
you
overdose
and
die,
but
there's
narcan
now
and
so
forth.
You're
working
with
dwayne
dean
and
you
guys
in
collaboration,
are
going
to
be
dispensing
those
things
to
the
community
and
so
forth.
But
would
you
my
point
bottom
line
is:
would
you
still
consider
going
on
the
community
channel
channel,
4,
comcast
and
and
doing
a
panel
discussion
that
may
be
something
for
the
future,
but
that
may
that
may
reach
a
lot
of
folks.
M
M
You
you
talked
about
dwayne
dean
a
little
bit
out
there.
I
was
called
by
mr
rowe
to
a
gentleman
a
20
year
old
that
was
reaching
out
for
help
couldn't
find
help
he's
been
on
the
streets
involving
meth,
xanax
and
all
those
different
types
of
drugs.
There
I
brought
into
my
office,
and
we
talked
first
for
about
three
days.
K
C
M
C
F
Wheeler,
thank
you,
mr
chairman
bob.
I
I
don't
know
if
this
will
do
any
good
on
this,
but
I'm
trying
to
think
of
an
angle
to
get
the
governor
to
realize
on
the
distribution
of
the
opioid
settlement
that
a
more
equitable
distribution
would
be
fair
and
what
what
it
appears
that
has
happened
is
because
will
county
got
a
little
over
six
times?
What
we
did
is
they're
going
on
per
capita
they're,
not
going
on
deaths
per
capita
or
impact
of
opiates
in
a
community
per
capita.
M
F
Illinois
on
deaths,
that
is
where
I
think
they
should
deploy
the
resources
to
where
they
target
the
problem.
That
is
the
hottest,
if
you
will
so
I
don't
know
if
the
coroner's
association
could
get
on
that
injunction
with
the
sheriff's
to
try
to
get
him
to
at
least
maybe
build
something
else
into
the
formula.
Instead
of
just
cook,
counting
gets
all
the
money
and
then
everybody
else
has
to
fight
for
what
falls
off
the
table.
I.
M
We
are
happy
that
yesterday
was
our
day
that
they
just
installed
our
new
freezer.
Yesterday
it'll
be
in
service
today,
which
will
hold
six
to
six
to
eight
bodies,
basically,
so
we're
very
proud
of
that.
It
work
it
worked
in
real
well,
so
we
have
a
a
two
drawer
freezer
and
a
weights
scale,
basically
in
two
trays
that
we
want
to
have
surpass.
So
we
can
there's
a
couple
of
different
counties
that
are
interested
in
that.
