C
Thank
you
very
much
for
letting
me
go
early
here.
Both
Eric
and
I.
Both
have
have
seminars
today,
with
the
all
days,
with
the
gift
of
Hope
on
tissue
donations
and
stuff
that
that
we
do
but
we're
also
getting
hours
for
the
funeral
home
directors
for
Kankakee
County
area.
So
again,
thank
you
for
that
I'm
sure
my
deputy's
going
to
knock
on
wood
here
in
a
few
minutes,
but
our
calls
have
really
dropped
in
the
last
two
months,
which
is
good.
C
The
number
of
autopsies
are
down
and
most
of
the
and
the
overdoses
are
basically
down
right
now
too.
So
we're
I
think
because
we're
out
doing
a
lot
of
programs
we've
hit,
we
figured
well
over
3
000
people
in
the
area
with
seniors
to
middle-aged
kids.
All
the
way
all
the
way
around
the
county
here,
we're
still
continually
doing
it
well,
I
hope.
That's
hope.
That's
working
with
with
the
drop
we
have
so
I'd
love
to
have
any
questions
on
that
at
all.
C
D
C
C
C
C
Basically,
if
you
look
at
a
lot
of
the
news
there,
it's
coming
from
the
New
York
area
over
Ohio,
Indiana
Illinois
up
to
Chicago
and
when
I
hear
about
it
from
the
northern
Corners,
we
realize
it's
going
to
be
coming
down
to
here
to
us
and
it
has
so
we're
still
seeing
the
majority
of
the
right
now
we're
at
15
overdoses.
Right
now
with
one
pending,
the
average
age
is
51..
C
The
youngest
is
42
right
now,
and
this
in
in
2023,
11,
males,
four
females
and
basically
again
just
about
every
case
is
fentanyl
and
of
course
xylazine
is
on
also,
so
all
I
can
do
is
talk
about
it.
The
people
that
are
going
against
this
in
the
Springfield
are
the
veterinarians.
They
don't
want
to
do
that
because
it's
a
lot
of
paperwork
and
my
answer
to
them
is
so-
is
fentanyl
but
we'll
see
what
happens.
C
I
talked
to
Jackie
Haas
yesterday
and
they're
still
going
to
push
that
push
that
through
when
they
go
back
in
a
couple
weeks.
I
guess
so
try
to
it's
not
a
fit
for
human
beings
at
all
and
don't
understand
why
why
people
want
to
do
that,
but
it's
a
mixture
and
the
mixture
is
done.
Not
maybe
it's
some
done
in
the
area.
C
C
What
what
happens
in
that
aspect
there
so
we're
getting
around
as
much
as
I
can
to
we're
still
going
to
Grant
Park
here
coming
up
next
week
and
we'll
be
in
Herscher
I
talk
to
the
kids
on
all
that,
so
you're
more
welcome
to
anybody
to
come
out
to
any
of
those
programs.
When
we
do
them.
It's
it's!
It's
for
the
problems.
A
E
E
E
It
so
the
chief
judge
asked
me
to
give
a
little
report
about
the
basement
because
he
wasn't
able
to
be
here
this
morning.
So
the
basement
looks
awesome.
It's
moving
right
along
there's
wainscoting
in
the
jury
assembly
room,
so
it
makes
it
more
warm
and
inviting
I
think
the
colors
that
they've
chosen
are
nice.
E
A
D
Hunter
yeah,
just
a
question
Sandy
and
I
was
hoping
chief
judge.
Cunnington
would
be
here
because
I
I
was
going
to
ask
him
about
a
guided
tour,
so
we
could
get
on
the
Tyler
program.
How
would
you
assess
the
competencies
of
your
staff
to
make
sure
that
they're
able
to
facilitate
and
implement
the
requirements.
E
It'll
well,
it'll
be
a
learning.
You
know
there
will
be
a
lot
of
training
once
they
once
they
have
it
close
to
being
implemented.
Then
they
will
start
training
the
trainer
and
training
us
and
we
will
be
set
up
in
a
classroom
style.
This
is
what
we
did
last
time
when
we
did
court
view
they
set
up
a
training
room
off
site
and
we
went
out
there
for
a
period
of
time
every
week
and
just
learned
how
to
do
every
little
thing
that
happens.
E
E
We're
at
that
point
they'll
be
on
site.
There's
going
to
be
a
lot
on
Zoom.
They
do
have
a
lot
of
packaged
training
modules
online
that
anyone
can
watch
at
any
time
on
their
own.
You
know
so
I
can
have
people
set
time
aside
every
day
if
they
want
or
an
hour
a
day
or
whatever,
but
the
Hands-On
will
be
in
the
in-person.
Hands-On
will
be
the
best
training
so,
but
that
won't
happen
until
next
year.
A
F
Morning,
as
you
can
see
from
the
report,
grand
jury
is
up
to
215
those
of
indictment
through
the
end
of
March
just
to
compare
last
year
through
the
end
of
March,
we
were
at
190,
but
we
hit
215
at
the
first
grand
jury
in
April,
so
both
22
and
23
are
down
significantly
from
21
in
2021.
Through
the
end
of
March,
we
were
close
to
300.
We
had
284.
F
my
indictment,
so
that's
probably
a
good
sign
and
you
can
see
we're
really
loading
up
the
grand
jury
schedule.
I
think
there
was
40
or
41
cases
up
at
the
last
one.
So
that's
pretty
significant.
When
we
slow
down
a
little
bit
during
covid,
we
were
maybe
at
2025.
so
back
to
normal.
With
that
great
anyone
have
any
questions
about
that
report.
A
D
Mr
Hunter
Mr,
chairman
Jim
I,
just
want
to
convey
to
you
a
lot
of
us
who
were
sponsors
with
you
and
your
Easter
egg
hunt.
Saturday
and
you
know
some.
You
know
some
people
use
the
word
nice
too
often,
but
I
I
thought.
Actually,
when
you
looked
at
all
the
kids,
the
families,
the
mothers,
fathers,
Aunts,
Uncles
Grandpa's
parents,
families
were
there
and
the
allocation
of
funds
that
you
had
towards
the
gifts
were
phenomenal.
D
I
I
heard
that
there
was
no
gift
less
than
fifty
dollars
and
and
I
I
thought
it
was
really
phenomenal
that
you
had
all
those
people
there
are
circling
the
the
courthouse.
All
those
eggs
and
I
I
would
be
I,
wouldn't
be
surprised
if
you'll
get
more
co-sponsors
with
you
next
year
and
but
I
just
wanted
to
take
my
hand
off
to
you
and
your
staff
Chris
and
all
of
them
for
a
marvelous
job.
I
didn't
see.
D
A
I
saw
Smiles,
so
kids
chomping
at
the
bit
with
their
bags
and
the
Masons
and
different
people
passing
out
bags.
You
know
for
the
kids
and
and
for
the
kids
to
be
up
that
early
on
a
Saturday
morning,
not
watching
cartoons
or
whatever
it
was
something
and
I
again
I'm
being
redundant.
When
I
say
this,
people
were
happy,
even
Colton
had
his
little
baby
there
and
this
one
too
in
tow,
but
it
was
it.
It
was
amazing.
I
mean
I,
got
I
got
phone
calls
that
man
that
was
really
nice.
D
You
know,
and
and
people
from
my
church
had
called
that
morning.
What
time
did
I
start?
That's
what
I
told
you
last
Sunday
when
it
starts
10
o'clock,
but
be
there
early,
but
it
was
really
something
to
behold.
It
was
just
wow
and
that's
probably
a
description.
Wow
uppercase,
but
take
my
hat
off
to
you
and
your
staff.
Good
job
yeah.
F
I
am
I,
don't
get
any
credit
for
that.
That
was
all
Chris
boardcart.
He
spent
about
two
months
getting
that
together.
Credit
goes
to
all
the
sponsors,
I
think
we
had
close
to
100
sponsors
come
forward
and
either
provide
gifts
or
funds
to
buy
the
gifts.
Wes
and
his
guys
did
a
great
job.
Getting
the
courthouse
grounds
clear
and
looking
good
tell.
F
F
A
G
A
H
H
H
H
Not
no,
we
have
a
pretty
good
program
in
place
and
you
know
we
have
a
structured
program,
basically,
even
if
they're
in
juvenile
division,
they
still
get
experience
in
the
adult
world
and
vice
versa,
they're,
an
adult
intern.
They
get
experience
in
the
juvenile
courtroom
or
juvenile
side.
So
we
have
it
all
set
up
and
it
works
pretty
well
and.
D
H
A
H
Currently
we
have
410
individuals
with
open
case
plans,
totaling
a
little
over
61
000
hours
on
the
books,
so
right
now
with
the
weather
breaking
we
are
reaching
out
actually,
probably
today
we
have
something
going
out
to
all
the
municipalities,
public
service
work.
Now
that
the
weather's
breaking
and
they're
going
to
work
once
we
get
something
set
up
with
them,
whoever
that
is
and
whatever
it
is,
we'll
send
out
a
text
blast.
H
H
A
J
However,
they
will
level
off
only
because
we
only
have
so
many
beds.
I've
said
that,
historically,
there
are
only
so
many
beds
that
we
have
so
at
some
point.
We
would
have
to
end
up
turning
people
away,
we're
not
there
yet,
but
we're
getting
closer
as
you
can
see
on
the
far
right
hand,
side
right
now.
J
We
currently
919
thousand
dollars
more
through
the
first
four
months
of
this
fiscal
year
than
we
were
at
this
point
last
year,
based
on
our
average
housing.
So
far,
if
our
numbers
stay
the
same,
it
looks
like
we
are
looking
at
bringing
in
about
10.6
million
dollars
compared
to
last
year
and
that's
just
in
housing
compared
to
8.6
million
in
fiscal
year
22..
J
Our
transports
are
continuing
to
increase
mainly
due
to
covid
disappearing,
miraculously
we
are
going
back
to
Chicago
back
to
the
central
district
of
Illinois,
which
includes
Urbana
Peoria
Springfield,
as
well
as
Indiana,
the
Northern
District
of
Indiana,
which
is
Hammond
so
those
those
are
certainly
On.
The
Rise
and,
as
you
know,
at
the
finance
committee,
we
did
talk
about
Vehicles,
which
are
currently
unavailable.
So.
J
D
Mr
chairman,
yes,
Mr,
Hunter,
yeah
I,
don't
know
if
they
went
over
people's
heads,
but
you
know
when,
when
the
sheriff
gave
the
data
the
fiscal
information
in
terms
of
last
year,
compared
to
right
now,
I
mean
that's,
that's
that's
phenomenal.
It's
it's
a
money
maker,
we're
working
at
it
yeah,
but
you
know
going
back
to
what
the
chairman
was
saying
about
those
vehicles.
D
J
J
So
our
transport
guys,
our
transport
supervisors,
do
a
great
job
of
determining
which
vehicles
are
going
where
when
we
do
have
transports
so
I
mean
it's
working
right
now,
we'll
continue
to
try
and
find
vehicles.
I
did
get
a
call.
Yesterday,
it's
kind
of
funny
as
as
hard
as
or
as
difficult
as
it
is
to
find
vehicles.
J
I
got
a
call
yesterday
from
a
from
a
company
that
we
bought
squad
cars
from
previously,
and
he
was
just
calling
all
the
municipalities
on
his
list
because
they
got
in
two
Dodge
Durangos,
which
at
this
point
don't
do
us
a
lot
of
good
because
we
just
purchased
Tahoes
so
and
they
were
the
same
price.
But
you
know
the
vehicles.
We
do
have
the
contacts
out
there
with
the
various
car
dealers
that
they
do
contact
us
when
there's
something
in
so
I
mean
that's
they're,
just
especially
the
transit
Vans.
J
A
J
On
the
Staffing
side,
I
know
I
brought
this
to
this
committee
before
Corrections
Administration
has
done
a
great
job
in
recruiting
and
and
actually
to
piggyback
off
of
what
Mr
Hunter
talked
with
or
asked
Mr
Latham
about
interns
we
actually
hired.
Actually,
we
had
an
intern
from
Western,
Illinois
or
or
Western
Illinois,
University
or
as
I
call
it
the
Harvard
or
the
Midwest,
because.
J
J
If
you,
if
you
intern
with
the
sheriff's
office
in
Kankakee,
there's
a
good
likelihood
that
you
could
step
right
into
a
pretty
darn
good,
paying
job
right
out
of
college,
which
isn't
the
case
for
a
lot
of
college
graduates,
so
good
kid
local
kid
smart
to
go
to
Western
Illinois
and,
although
there's
no
good
way
to
get
there
but
so
yeah.
So
we
also
utilize
interns
as
well.
J
So
and
our
interns
get
the
full
gamut
of
our
department,
I
mean
they
go
to
investigations,
they
go
to
patrol,
they
go
to
Corrections,
they
go
to
courthouse
I
believe
they
might
even
spend
a
day
in
probation
to
kind
of
see
the
full
Criminal
Justice
System
itself
in
Kankakee
County,
so
very
beneficially
in
terms
are
very
beneficial.
We
use
a
lot
from
Olivet
as
well.
We
get
a
lot
of
locals.
We've
used,
ISU,
Governor
State,
but
I'm
kind
of
lean
towards
the
guys
from
Western
Illinois
anyway.
J
And
for
those
of
you,
if
you
saw
our
press
release
the
other
day,
we
did
actually
have
two
squad
cars
wrecked
in
a
situation
where
an
individual
who
had
gone
on
a
crime
spree
in
the
last
couple
weeks
in
both
the
city
of
Kankakee
and
the
village
of
Bradley
had
numerous
charges.
The
last
place
that
he
robbed
from
was
a
jewelry
store
in
the
village
of
Bradley.
J
J
J
J
There
is
a
current
open
investigation
on
the
seizure
of
those
dogs
that
will
probably
have
some
more
details
later,
but
I
can
tell
you
that
our
Animal
Control
Officers,
along
with
the
State's
Attorney's
Office,
helped
out.
State
training
has
always
helped
out
our
animal
control
people,
but
our
Animal
Control
Officers
did
a
great
job
in
you
know
getting
these
animals
that
shouldn't
be
where
they
were
so,
hopefully,
we'll
have
some
more
information
fairly
shortly
was.
