Description
Criminal Justice Committee Meeting 08/10/2022 7:30am
A
I
have
not
received
anything
for
public
comment.
Is
there
any
public
comment
at
this
time?
Any
public
comment
approval
of
minutes
from
july
13
2022,
mr
long,
mr
parker,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed
same
sign.
Motion
carries
the
chief
judge
is
not
here
this
morning,
but
he
sent
me
this
letter.
He
says
dear
chairman
hess
I
wanted
to
let
you
know
I
would
not
be
able
to
attend
a
criminal
justice
meeting
on
wednesday.
I
have
started
a
jury
trial
and
need
to
be
at
the
courthouse.
A
I
have
no
report
other
than
I
wanted
to
publicly
thank
the
king
key
fire
department,
wes
andrews,
dana
goodrich
and
josh
from
the
maintenance
and
a
gentleman
from
coney
elevator
company
who
immediately
came
over
from
another
location.
Once
the
alarm
was
sounded
to
extract
one
of
the
clerks
from
the
elevator.
A
It
was
stuck
between
floors
because
of
the
power
outage
during
the
storm.
Last
thursday
I
have
asked
wes
to
look
into
a
device
that
returns
elevator
cars
to
the
first
floor
in
case
of
a
power
outage.
Fortunately,
the
clerk
was
not
injured,
but
rattle
a
bit
because
there
was
no
emergency
lights
in
the
elevator.
A
C
We
actually
called
up
the
former
maintenance
director
to
talk
about
this,
because
I
remembered
something
about
this,
but
we
can't
put
a
generator
on
that
building
for
because
well
I
guess
we
have
to
change
all
the
switch
gears
in
the
basement
and
everything
that's
down
the
mechanicals,
they're
old,
they're,
they're,
really
old,
let's
just
say,
maybe
40
50
60
years
old.
It's
really
old
equipment,
it's
about
a
quarter
million
dollars
if
we
want
to
put
a
generator
on
the
whole
building,
because
we
have
to
redo
the
whole
basement
electrical
wise.
D
I'm
sorry
I'd
like
to
direct
my
my
comments
or
question
to
mr
wheeler,
chairman
wheeler,
and
you
too
bones.
If,
if
you
can
respond,
you
may
recall
last
meeting
chief
judge
connington
came
to
us
and
said
he
would
be.
You
know
correct
me.
If
I'm
I'm
wrong
that
he
and
I
guess
the
chief
judges
were
meeting
regarding
cashless
bail,
any
any
discussion
on
that
at
all
any
feedback
at
all,
or
has
that
meeting
happen
yet
does.
C
Anybody
know
there
are
a
series
of
meetings.
Okay
and
sandy's
been
on
calls.
I've
been
on
calls
with
it,
they're
they're
broken
out
into
different
areas.
Maybe
you
can
tackle
that
jury.
Okay,
for
your
report,
is
that
cool
yeah
she's
much
more
active
than
I
am
okay,
I'm
just
telling
one
of
the
comments.
E
The
part
that
I
know
the
chief
judges
association
meets
monthly,
so
they
are
in
the
process
of
determining
different
their
thoughts
on
how
to
interpret
the
the
bill
or
the
the
statute,
and
so
we
still
haven't
been
given
our
directive
as
how
we're
going
to
be
processing
or
moving
forward,
whether
we're
going
to
do
the
custody
hearings
every
day
like
some
counties,
are
like
some
of
the
larger
counties
they
do
that
anyway.
He
hasn't
really
given
us
direction
on
that.
E
The
committee
that
I'm
on
and
that
andy
is
on
is
the
educational
I'm
on
the
education,
yeah,
the
education
portion,
and
so
what
we're
doing
is
creating
training
for
every
facet
of
the
government.
So
andy's
like
on
the
the
county
board
version
and
some
I'm
not
sure
what
other
people
are
on
your
committee.
D
E
E
E
F
Yes,
sir,
thank
you
just
to
piggyback
off
of
that
report
and
didn't
hear
in
the
comments
of
andrew
willa.
I
was
wondering
if,
if
because
that
that
appears
to
be
a
safety
issue,
if
we
have
another
storm
or
if
the
electrical
goes
out
yet
I
mean
on
that
day,
was
a
a
clerk.
It
could
have
been
someone
from
the
community.
A
E
A
E
I
was
going
to
ask
if
we
could
look
into
maybe
getting
some
handrails
installed
too,
and
I
know
it's
a
historical
building,
so
we
need
to
maybe
look
into
what
we
can
do
about
that.
But
we
because
I
have
a
need-
that's
not
trustworthy,
so
I
always
take
the
elevator
too
and
I
wouldn't
mind
taking
the
stairs,
but
I
just
there's
nothing
to
hang
on
to
you
know,
and
that
just
makes
me
nervous
going
up
and
down.
A
A
H
You
know,
since
you
brought
up
mr
hash,
I
mean
like
the
felonies.
You
notice
that,
as
mr
coughlin
stated,
there
was
only,
I
think,
whatever
he
said,
40
some
felonies
filed
through
grand
jury
last
month.
However,
the
way
I
run
my
numbers,
we
technically
close
out
cases
when
there's
when
there's
a
warrant
for
them,
because
we're
not
working
the
case,
we
put
them
in
a
drawer,
they
sit
there
indefinitely.
H
So
as
people
get
picked
up
in
warrants
or
the
cases
get
back
into
the
system
by
whatever
method
we
reopen
them,
and
so
it
shows
up
as
an
open
case.
So
the
way
I
keep
our
numbers
is
different
than
the
way
the
state's
attorneys
keeps
their
numbers
and
that's
why
there's
a
variance
between
the
two?
I
think
that
would
be
an
interesting
undertaking
to
try
to
coordinate
that
with
the
state's
attorney,
so
we're
all
on
the
same
page,
but
there's
such
a
fluidity
as
to
where
the
cases
are
are
looked
at.
H
They
restructured
the
traffic
filing
system
to
the
clerk's
office,
so
the
numbers
are
variants.
You
know
what
numbers
existed
before
are
different
now
so,
but
we're
definitely
trying
we're.
Definitely
the
point
we're
definitely
you
know
we
talked
about
a
while
back
how
the
supreme
court
has
basically
ordered
us
to
resolve
cases
in
a
timely
fashion.
They've
implemented
specific
timelines.
H
So
a
lot
of
pressure's
coming
down
to
make
things
happen
for
everybody,
so
hopefully
it'll
work.
You
know
you
can't
change
this.
I
guess
you
can't
change
the
system.
You
can
try
to
change
the
system,
but
the
system's
been
around
for
a
long
time
and
there's
been
a
backlog
for
a
long
time.
People
are
trying
to
resolve
it
and
they
are
trying
to
bring
up
ways
to
to
look
at
it
in
a
new
fashion.
But
that's
gonna
be
a
tough
wheel
to
reinvent
yeah.
F
H
F
H
Didn't
bring
it
up,
mr
snipes,
but
like
but
the
bail
reform
act.
I
already
lost
my
train
of
thought.
Oh
we're
getting
documents
from
various
agencies
on
you
know
regularly
on
on
different
ways.
It's
going
to
be
implemented
so
yeah.
No
one
knows
how
it's
going
to
be
implemented.
That's
no!
It's
not
a
it's,
not
a
county
problem.
It's
a
statewide
problem!
H
No
one
knows
how
this
is
going
to
work
and
a
lot
of
issues
have
not
been
resolved,
and
this
is
it
is
I'm
on
a
link
with
other
public
defenders
and
I'd
be
happy
to
share
with
somebody.
But
all
the
small
downstate
counties
are
just
outraged
by
the
demands
and
they
are
just
vitriol
with
with
cook
county
from
putting
for
who
they
believe
spearheaded
this
process,
which
I
believe
they
did
too
it's
just
it's
just
incredible.
I
mean.
H
E
Are
some
town
hall
meetings
that
are
being
held?
I
can
get
the
information
they've
been
holding
them
electronically,
because
we've
been
able
to
watch
them.
They've
been
going
around
the
state,
so
people
can
put
their
two
cents
in
as
to
you
know
what
they
feel
about
this
whole
bill
too.
So
I
I
can
get
that
out.
H
D
H
D
Okay,
now
you
say
that
your
report
shows
that
you
opened
seven
in
july
and
when
you
think
in
terms
of
the
uptick
of
the
gunplay
macro
in
in
the
county,
you
know
when
you
think
about
just
a
couple
blocks
down
the
street
a
15
year
old
kid
at
1203
I
was
a
weekday.
A
weekend
was
shot,
kill,
he
had
a
gun
and
and
he
was
killed
by
gunned
down
by
a
16
year
old.
D
You
know
what
the
hell
is:
a
kid
15
years
old,
you're
going
to
a
smoke
shop
at
midnight,
but
anyway
you
you
all
the
way
over
to
the
right.
You
have
80
penny.
Is
that
80?
Because
it's
not
real
quick
six,
this
month,
86
that
8-0
pending
that
was
the
previous
month?
86?
Okay,
I'm
sorry!
So
I'm
sorry
yeah
86.!
Now
can
you
can
you
categorize
those
overall.
H
It's
whatever
from
retail
theft,
to
serious
crimes.
I
know
I'm
not
going
to
speak
for
for
probation,
but
I
know
they've
been
everyone's
trying
to
to
do.
No,
I'm
not
going
to
speak
for
them,
but
soup
to
nuts
serious
cases
to
minor
k
now
minor
cases.
I
I
would
submit
that
the
less
serious
cases
are
not
being
charged
as
often
as
they
used
to
be.
But
again,
that's
not
my
domain.
D
H
D
A
A
I
I
A
A
J
One
of
those
reasons
is
in
in,
as
this
committee
knows,
I've
been
somewhat
critical
of
the
illinois
department
of
corrections.
However,
when
things
change
and-
and
things
start
getting
better,
you
should
probably
give
them
credit
as
well.
Things
are
getting
better
with
the
illinois
department
of
corrections
which
helps
our
local
numbers,
as
individuals
are
getting
sentenced
to
the
illinois
department
of
corrections.
J
The
wait
time
to
transport
is
not
nearly
as
long
as
it
was.
It's
not
like
it
was
pre-coveted,
but
I
think
we
all
probably
agree
that
things
that
happened.
Pre-Covered
everything
has
changed
since
covid,
so
we
don't
anticipate
that
going
back
to
the
way
it
was
before
covet
so
credit
to
them
for
getting
these
sentenced
inmates
and
taking
them
sooner.
J
A
reimbursement
form
that
they
can
submit
as
part
of
the
budget
for
those
inmates
where
there
was
delays
after
june
30th
of
2021.,
the
reimbursement
that
we
received
was
up
through
june
30th
of
2021,
we're
going
to
evaluate
where
it
started,
to
get
better
and
submit
some
financial
information
to
our
legislators
so
that
quite
possibly
we
could
get
reimbursed
highly
unlikely.
But
if
we
don't
ask
we'll
get
nothing,
so
we
will
plan
to
do
that.
J
J
J
J
With
with
ice,
so
some
good
news
transports
for
chicago
and
indiana
are
increasing
and
again
this
is
as
we
get
out
of
covid.
There
was
a
time
period
where
everything
was
pretty
much
done
on
video,
which
we
have
access
to
and
and
the
advantage
to
having
that
video
is
we
really
have
that
video
access
all
across
the
state,
so
you
know,
if
there's
an
opportunity
to
do
something
by
video.
J
J
D
D
J
Software
called
gracie,
which
unlocks
cell
phones
and
we
have
collaborated
with
the
city
of
kankakee
they're,
trying
to
get
that.
Well,
that's
so
they
did
so.
We
went
to
them
because
one
of
the
things
with
great
key
that
we
were
dealing
with
we,
we
got
a
commitment
from
the
county
for
995
dollars
a
year,
which
was
the
cost
of
great
key
per
year.
J
J
J
The
ten
thousand
dollars
that
the
county
has
allocated
for
the
next
three
years
provides
us
with
ten
unlocks.
Now
we
can
use
gray
key
for
a
lot
of
other
things
and
again
sometimes
we
do
get
cooperation
from
a
witness
who
will
say
yeah.
Look
at
my
phone,
here's
the
key
here's
the
code,
whatever,
however
a
lot
of
times,
we
don't
so
we
have
to
utilize.
What's
called
a
hard
unlock.
J
J
I
mean
we're
not
going
to
utilize
an
unlock
for
somebody,
who's
skipping
school,
we're
going
to
utilize
and
unlock
for
a
sex
case,
a
homicide,
a
shooting.
So
if
somebody
comes
to
us
and
says
hey,
we
have
the
shooting,
we
have
three
phones
and
we
have
to
get
into
them.
Well,
now,
we've
just
used
three
of
these
unlocks
to
get
into
these
phones.
It
leaves
us
with
seven.
J
So
what
gracie
also
offers
is
an
unlimited
package
and
the
city
has
agreed
to
provide
the
balance
of
that
money
to
provide
for
unlimited
unlocks,
which
will
obviously
help
solve
some
cases.
So
I
mean
again
between
manpower
and
and
some
technology.
I
mean
those
are
things
that
that
we're
doing
all
together,
yeah.
D
Those
are
significant
because
I
know
I
interface
with
them
about
drakey
as
well,
too,
and,
and
you
know,
you're
the
bastion
of
of
support
for
those
entities
so
yeah,
and
that
shows
collaboration,
and
I
understood
that
was
going
to
happen
in
terms
of
them
allocating
funds
for
that.
Also,
when
you
think,
in
terms
of
some
of
these
bad
characters
who
come
from
the
north,
you
know
when,
when
united
is
still
maintained,
when
cabrini
green
robert
taylor
homes,
you
know,
were,
I
guess,
torn
down.
D
There's
a
mass
exodus
of
you
know:
unsavory
characters
coming
from
the
north
down
to
the
south
southern
suburbs
and
as
well
as
kinky
county.
I
remember
the
days
of
bill
duster
in
which
you
guys
collaborated
in
terms
of
rat
packs.
You
know
even
state
agencies
like
dcfs,
public
aid,
state
police,
atf,
treasury
and
so
forth,
and
I'm
sure
those
things
are
still
ongoing
as
well
too.
Those
things
seem
to
work.
D
D
And
I
I
really
appreciate
the
due
diligence
and
your
support
with
the
three
homicides
over
behind
saint
mary's
as
well,
that
could
have
been,
but
now
well.
It
was
different.
Let
me
say
that,
in
terms
of
the
you
know
that
some
of
the
people
were,
you
know
exacerbating
exhorting
the
crowd
over
there
pushing
the
tv
cameras
and
all
this
it
was
nuts.
D
You
know
the
restraint
that
the
officer
showed
state,
police,
county
city,
kinky
city,
I'd
hate
to
be
in
their
shoes
and
as
hot
as
hell.
That
day
I
mean
it's
muy
caliente
that
day
and
thank
god,
the
mayor
and
some
other
folks
went
and
got
water
mayor
secretary,
because
it
was,
it
was
something
to
behold
over
there
and
waiting
for
the
experts
to
come
in
from
up
north,
which
were
delayed
because
of
construction
and
stuff.
D
A
F
F
F
That's
you
know,
infiltrating
the
city
of
kenya
key,
but
there
is
something
that
we
can
do
and
that's,
if
we're
going
to
march,
we
we
will
have
to
continue
to
echo
the
sentiments
of.
If
you
see
something
say
something:
it's
not
snitching.
It's
reporting
without
community
involvement,
there's
no
way
in
in
god's
creation
that
the
sheriff
fbi
cia,
would
ever
stop
a
shooting
because
they
would
have
to
be
able
to
get
into
a
mind
of
an
individual,
that's
about
to
shoot
and
that's
they.
They
don't
have
the
resources,
the
technology
to
ever.
F
Do
that
so
there's
there
is
a
third
component
in
our
community
that
has
to
step
up
to
the
plate
and
that's
called
the
community.
If
we
want
to
make
our
communities
safe,
we
cannot
just
depend
upon
the
strength
of
just
the
public
safety
officers.
They
can
only
do
so
much.
We
can't
depend
upon
all
the
politicians,
even
though
they
may
use
it
as
a
slogan.
We
can't
depend
upon
the
the
parochial
part
of
our
community,
which
is
the
preachers
without
the
proletarian
those
individuals
that
live
in
the
community
that
are
there
that
can
see.
F

It
says
america
was
built
on
courage
and
imagination
and
an
unbelievable
determination
to
do
the
job
at
hand
and
patrick
hendry
said
these.
We
are
not
weak
if
we
make
proper
use
of
those
means
which
the
god
of
nature
have
placed
in
our
power.
The
battle
surrey
is
not
to
the
strong
alone.
It
is
to
the
village
the
act
of
the
brave
we
have
to
have
a
community.
That's
going
to
speak
out
when
this
fighters
get
to
the
point
that
it
disturbs
your
home
and
your
community.
F
You
have
to
partner
with
the
rest
of
us
to
bring
peace.
The
only
way
we'll
defeat.
It
is
if
we
work
together
and
we
are
united
together,
otherwise
we
will
have
more
death.
The
only
caveat
I
had
with
education
is
that
I
buried
more
students
than
I
have
years
in
the
department
of
education
and
that's
28
years,
but
I
buried
over
36
students.
F
Only
two
died
from
diseases,
so
it
is
a
critical
thing
that
the
community
must
step
up,
because
today
it
might,
it
might
be
someone
else's
child,
but
tomorrow
it
might
be
yours,
and
I
was
at
the
funeral
of
the
15
year
old
man.
It's
sad
to
see
him
in
a
casket,
but
choices
that
we
make
will
determine
the
future
we
have
tomorrow,
and
so,
therefore,
I
will
echo
it
and
echo
it
and
equip
if
you
see
something
say
something:
it's
not
snitching.
It's
reporting.
J
J
K
K
I
want
to
know,
can
you
do
a
breakdown
on
what
is
going
on
in
pembroke
as
far
as
crime
people
perceive
that
in
the
black
community
there's
a
lot
of
crime
which
I
don't
think
that's
the
case,
but
I
cannot
tell
by
looking
at
this.
You
know
I
don't
know
where
these
traffic
stops
were
or
any
of
the
other
activities
here
that
you
have
outlined,
but
I
think
it
would
be
good
for
me,
so
I
can
go
back
to
my
community
and
say:
hey.
K
We
have
an
uptick
in
this
or
whatever
it
is,
and
just
to
make
a
comment
about
the
the
three
young
men
who
got
shy.
I
was
the
adoption
worker
for
one
of
those
young
men.
I
knew
him
as
a
baby.
I
knew
his
aunt
who
adopted,
adopted
him
and
raised
him.
He
was
not
a
gang
banger
or
anything
like
that.
So
I
hope
you
all
do
have
some
leads
in
bringing
whoever
did
this
heinous
crime
so
that
they
can
pay
for
that,
because
that
was
you
know
just
horrible.
K
J
J
Animal
control,
animal
control,
so
our
dogs
and
cats
have
been
fluctuating
population
wise
some
days.
We're
full
adoption
agency
will
come
down
pick
some
up
and
we're
not
full,
and
then
we
get
full
again
and
it's
back
and
forth
all
summer.
Obviously,
that's
changed
as
well
from
covet.
If
you
remember,
the
population
of
animals
during
covid
was
almost
nil,
because
people
were
home
able
to
care
for
their
pets,
and
so
now
we're
kind
of
back
to
that.
J
Pre-Covet,
where
you
know
our
animal
control
officers
are
fairly
busy.
They
do
a
great
job
in
in
responding
to
to
all
the
calls
that
come
in
and
and
taking
care
of
the
dog.
So
I
credit
to
them.
One
of
the
things
that
you
all
should
know,
though,
is
we
are
limping
along
with
our
current
building.
We
can't
get
out
of
that
building
fast
enough
and
and
right
now
I
I'd
I'd
like
to
tell
you
that
it's
nickel
and
diminish,
but
it's
thousand
and
five
thousand
dollar
diamonds.
J
J
J
We
have
no
immediate
openings,
however,
we
are
anticipating
multiple
retirements
in
fiscal
year
2023,
so
we
want
to
be
prepared
and
have
that
list
to
be
able
to
hire
from
once.
We
get
official
notification
of
the
dates.
I
think
we're
looking
right
now
at
three
deputies
who
are
planning
to
retire
in
fiscal
year
2023,
so
we
are
in
the
process
of
of
co
of
putting
a
hiring
list
together.
So,
however,
the
news
on
the
correction
side
isn't
quite
as
good.
J
We've
had
a
run
of
inmates
who
have
required
medical
care
in
the
hospital,
so
we
have
staff
at
the
hospitals
as
well,
which
also
requires
overtime.
I
can
tell
you
that,
from
a
recruiting
standpoint
between
myself
and
administration
at
the
jail
we
have
recruited,
every
possible
place
we
could
recruit
from
we've
had
a
little
success.
J
J
Some
didn't
want
to
deal
with
those
in
custody,
which
I
I
get
that's
the
job's
not
for
everybody.
So
that's
the
that's
the
mentality
out
there
and
some
of
the
qualifications,
and
I
know,
there's
qualified
people
out
there.
I
can
give
you
an
example
of
one
of
my
assistant
chiefs
in
the
jail
went
to
mcdonald's
the
other
day
and
struck
up
a
conversation
with
an
employee
who
solid
kid
communication
skills.
Very
nice
respectful,
I'm
guessing.
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
J
L
J
J
If
I
come
on
your
property
and
you
don't
want
me
there
and
you
call
the
police,
they
don't
take
me
to
jail
anymore.
Now,
let's
back
up
a
minute.
First
of
all,
the
police
aren't
going
to
say
come
with
me,
you're
going
to
jail,
they're
going
to
say,
hey,
she
doesn't
watch
any
property
leave.
Well
then,
if
he
doesn't
leave
in
today's
world,
we
can
take
that
individual
to
jail.
J

Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
just
want
to
make
a
comment
that
the
portland
I
watched
a
news
report
there,
where
they
were
interviewing
homeowners,
same
situation
that
you
just
brought
up
with
miss
parker
and,
if
they're
high
on
anything
and
you
hand
them
a
citation,
that's
not
helping
the
homeowner
at
all
right
and
they're
also
moving
into
empty
homes,
and
they
can't
get
them
out
or
sold
because
they're
squatters.
So
you
know
that
look
to
portland
to
see
what
the
possibilities.
L
D
J
D
J
A
O
Comments
on
the
reasons
numbers
pretty
consistent
month
over
month,
no
big
changes,
overdoses,
as
you
see,
remain
at
25
with
five
additional
pending
overdose
cases.
So
nothing
else
stands
out
questions
or
comments
on
the
report.
I
will,
I
will
add,
to
that
real
quickly,
large
number
of
pending
cases.
Still,
if
you
look
over
on
the
homicide
row,
for
example,
in
the
total
column,
you
see
it
the
number
five
there
there
are
five
pending
homicide
cases
yet
so
that
number
will
double
by
the
time
we
come
back
here
next
month.
O
F
Just
want
to
make
everyone
oppressed,
we
don't
have
the
date
down
uncertain,
but
we
do
want
to
help
a
officer
who
was
battling
breast
cancer
and
don't
have
insurance
at
this
particular
point,
because
this
past
fml
a
period
we
want
to
help
out
officer
costello
again,
it's
an
aggressive
cancer.
So
we
do
want
to
help
an
officer
that
does
contributed
time
to
the
community
was
a
resource
officer
in
the
school
districts
during
this
most
crucial
time
in
their
life.
