Description
Criminal Justice Committee Meeting 1/13/2021 7:30 AM
A
E
E
The
collection,
re
court
for
the
state's
attorney's
office.
They
did
pretty
well
this
last
year
with
a
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
four.
Seventy
nine
sixty
nine.
So,
as
you
can
see,
their
collections
were
slow
as
well
for
the
month
of
december,
as
was
the
harrison
harris
collection
was
only
26,
almost
27
000..
So
it
was
a
slow
month,
collection
wise,
but
you
know
with
the
pandemic:
that's
the
best
that
we
can
expect.
I'm
sure.
E
So
for
the
computerization
update
as
far
as
the
e-filing
is
going,
they
are
ready
to
start
testing
again.
I
think
they
took
a
little
bit
of
a
hiatus
during
the
holidays
or
whatever
I
did
have
a
con
conference
call
with
both
vendors
but
separately
different
phone
calls.
I
have
some
thoughts
that
I'm
sharing
with
the
chief
judge
right
now
on
future
endeavors
and
as
soon
as
we
have
you
know
a
plan
together,
we'll
be
in
touch
with
that.
F
E
D
D
D
D
G
Morning,
jim
good
morning,
I'm
looking
at
the
the
grand
jury
indictments
and
I'm
noticing
that
bradley
and
the
bonus,
when
you
add
those
two
together,
their
numbers
kind
of
either
match
or
exceed
can't
get
key,
but
kangaki
has
at
least
20
indictments
giving
the
similarity
into
the
numbers.
What
do
you
contribute
to
the
rise
in
the
city
of
kangaki
versus
practically
every
other
county,
some
that
has
at
least
four?
They
have
zeros
and
most
of
my
ones.
D
D
You
know
in
bradley
your
felonies
that
come
through
the
majority
of
their
felonies
over
the
course
of
a
year
are
either
going
to
be
ag
duis
because
they're
very
aggressive,
with
their
dui
enforcement,
which
we
appreciate
or
you're
going
to
have
a
lot
of
felony
retail
thefts
and
those
are
usually
individuals
who
were
offered
a
diversion
program.
Option
refused
it.
D
So
it's
historically
that's
just
kind
of
been
the
numbers.
It's
it's
not
a
sudden
rise
where
city
suddenly
has
twice
as
many
as
bourbon
are
bradley.
That's
been
pretty
consistent
over
the
years
and
it
probably
goes
back
to
you
know,
lack
of
social
services
programs
and
just
there's
just
more
crime.
In
the
city
of
kankakee,
you
know,
that's
probably
a
conversation
you'd
have
to
have
maybe
with
local
law
enforcement,
the
churches,
the
schools,
families,
parents.
A
F
F
D
Well,
I
can't
you
know,
I
know
right
now.
We've
got,
I
think.
The
other
day
we
looked
at
the
numbers.
We've
got
about
45
cases
pending
in
the
county
that
are
either
murder
or
attempt
murder
cases.
That's
a
significant
number.
I
talked
with
jim
glasgow
out
of
will
county
and
you
know
per
capita.
Our
numbers
are
way
over
theirs
so
that
that's
definitely
concerning.
I
don't
know
what
percentage
of
those
cases
have
come
out
of
city
versus
other
communities.
D
I
can
get
those
numbers
for
everyone.
You
know
at
the
next
meeting
the
the
role
of
the
state's
attorney's
office.
You
know
at
its
core
is
to
prosecute
crime,
there's
no,
nothing
in
the
statute.
That
tells
us
we
need
to
be
involved
in
in
any
of
the
other
programs
we
choose
to,
because
we
look
at
the
bigger
picture
of
public
safety.
Crime
reduction.
D
Try
to
keep
kids
out
of
the
system,
keep
them
from
going
down
that
path.
So
you
know
that's
really
the
basis
for
many
of
our
initiatives,
but
until
the
parents,
quite
frankly,
you
know
until
parents
start
parenting,
we're
probably
going
to
see
these
trends
continue,
that
we
can
offer
social
services
we're
trying
to
get
behavioral
health
services
into
the
courthouse.
D
So
kids
can
go
to
that
right
before,
after
their
their
court
date,
we're
working
on
so
many
of
these
initiatives,
but
it
ultimately
comes
down
to
what's
happening
in
the
home
and
what's
happening
in
the
streets
and
that's
going
to
be
parents,
law
enforcement
and
the
community-
and
you
know
it's
been
a
struggle.
This
last
year
has
been
tough.
Many
of
our
initiatives,
kind
of
got
put
on
pause
because
of
covert
as
many
things
across
the
state
did.
D
But
I'll
tell
you
one
thing:
that's
going
to
lead
to
probably
seeing
those
numbers
increase
dramatically,
especially
the
violent
crime.
Is
the
senate
bill
that
passed
this
morning?
You
know
it's
760
pages
long.
It's
it's
filed
at
4am,
it's
debated
at
5am
and
it's
passed
before
6am.
So
probably
nobody
in
springfield
read
the
entire
bill.
Thankfully,
our
state
rep,
our
state,
senator
joyce,
neither
of
them
voted
for
it.
Our
other
state
senator
from
there'd,
be
the
northeast
corner
of
our
county.
He
was
the
drafted
the
bill,
but
it's
that's.
D
D
D
D
D
One
person
gave
an
example
that
you'd
almost
have
to
have
someone
commit
two
drive-by
shootings
before
you
could
finally
hold
them
free
trial.
So
I'm
you
know
I'm
frustrated
with
it.
I
don't
know
if
you
can
tell
by
my
voice,
I'm
very
upset
over
what
I
was
reading
this
morning
in
the
bill
sure
there's
some
things
in
there.
That
are
good,
but
I
think
there's
a
whole
lot
of
bad.
D
Thankfully,
none
of
those
pre-trial
bail
reform
conditions
go
into
effect
until
2023,
so
we've
got
some
time
to
sort
through
it
see
what
it
really
you
know
translates
to,
but
just
a
cliff
notes.
Reading
of
it,
it's
scary,
because
I
I
think
we're
gonna
have
a
hard
time
now,
keeping
the
most
violent
of
criminals
in
our
community
behind
bars.
F
Yeah.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
know
that
that
omnibus
bill,
which
is
you
know
they
have
everything.
If
you
guys
don't
know
what
that
means,
a
lot
of
stuff
is
lumped
into
one
bill.
You
know,
I
myself,
I
think
I
may
have
even
sent
a
text
to
sheriff
downey
with
respect
to
separating
some
of
that
stuff,
and
I
also
had
a
conversation
with
senator
joyce,
and
I
know
that
senator
joyce
and
algie,
sims
and
and
the
sheriff
had
a
I
was
at
a
zoom
meeting
or
something
on
that.
F
F
However,
somebody
mentioned,
I
don't
know
if
it
was
you
jim,
when
we're
discussing
this,
you
can't
throw
the
baby
out
with
the
bathwater,
but
there's
going
to
have
to
be.
You
know
meeting
of
the
minds
on
this
particular
matter
and
and
as
you've
articulated
you
know
this.
This
was
expedited
and,
and
I'm
not
really
sure
if
they
had
the
requisite
amount
of
hearings.
F
I
heard
there
were
some
hearings
this
summer,
but
everybody
was
in
lockdown
this
this
for
the
last
nine
months
and
you
know
who
was
there
to
really
bring
up
the
issues
that
the
state's
attorneys
brought
up
as
well.
As
you
know,
I
heard
the
rumblings
of
the
sheriff
our
own
sheriff
as
well
too,
so
guys
take
a
look
at
that.
Take
a
look
at
it
and
and
talk
to
jackie
and
and
talk
to
pat
about
it.
D
D
All
right,
it's
it's
tragic!
It
really
is,
and
you
know
I'm
not
going
to
pretend
to
speak
on
the
law
enforcement,
the
police
reforms.
I
saw
some
stuff
in
there
about
the
military
surplus
vehicles
body
cameras
required
for
everyone,
I'm
sure
when
the
sheriff
gets
a
chance
to
read
through
it.
If
he
hasn't
already,
he
can
touch
on
some
of
that,
but
a
lot
of
reforms
in
that
bill
that
become
unfunded
mandates
and
it's
going
to
really
tax
local
resources.
D
A
G
D
We
we've
been
doing
that
since
2017.,
so
I
don't
know
how
many
people
it
would
have
been
done
under
the
governor's
swipe
of
the
pen,
but
we
we
really
beat
the
state
to
the
punch
on
that
judge.
Elliot
has
been
tremendous
in
working.
Without
those
cases
she
handles
all
of
the
expungement
and
ceiling
offenses
that
allows
them
all
to
go
through
her
courtroom
reviews
each
one.
Along
with
the
prosecutors,
the
defense
attorneys
sandy
ciancia
circuit
clerk.
All
of
her
staff
have
been
great
with
processing
that
paperwork
over
the
years.
D
D
G
D
I
Do
I
start
yep?
Basically,
the
report
speaks
for
itself.
The
courthouse
is
technically
not
technically.
The
courthouse
is
open
now
other
than
for
jury
trials,
so
we're
doing
bench.
Trials
hearings
plea
bargains.
The
jail
is
bringing
people
over
to
the
best
of
their
ability
to
make
this
happen
so
other
than
jury
trials,
we're
back
in
business,
so
hopefully
the
cases
will
start
moving
beyond
that.
I
have
nothing
specific
to
add
to
my
report.
I
Basically,
excuse
me,
actually,
I
think,
there's
been
a
pretty
good
amount
of
turnover
in
my
office
since
I
took
over
and
I've
been
able
to
fill
the
gaps
with
with
the
qualified
people,
and
I'm
very
happy
about
that.
Basically,
I
just
post
for
law,
schools
and
things
like
that.
I
got
a
pretty
good
chunk
of
applications.
I
think
we
talked
about
that
last
month.
We
also
talked
about
how
the
people
I've
hired,
are
local
kids
or
I
call
them
kids.
I
I
shouldn't
do
that,
but
local
individuals,
they're
gonna,
actually
be
sworn
in
tomorrow
by
the
by
the
supreme
court
or
by
the
whatever
authority
is
throwing
them
in
and
they'll,
be
duly
licensed
and
they've
been
working
in
a
limited
capacity
up
to
that
point,
but
I'm
very
happy
to
have
them
here.
But
basically
you
know,
I
get
a
good
pool
of
candidates
and
then
I
just
have
to
make
the
decision.
That's
who
I
picked.
F
I
I
Interns-
I
have
not
looked
into
that
lately.
I
know
that
there's
gonna
turn
over
at
kcc
and
I
know
ms
bertrand,
I
just
haven't
reached
out
to
her.
We
talked
about
that
last
month.
I
think
mr
hunter
with
covet
it's
kind
of
been
up
in
the
air,
but
definitely
on
the
table
and
prior
to
cove,
but
I
was
reaching
out
to
onu
and
kcc
and
it
just
didn't,
you
know,
didn't
come
to
happen.
I
A
I
I
mean,
of
course,
of
course,
we
can't
go
down
there
and
have
a
face-to-face
visit.
That
was
one
of
my
big
things
when
I
took
over
was
to
increase
face-to-face
visits
because
I
think
it
helps
move
the
cases
you
know
when
you
have
a
rapport
with
your
client.
You've
got
a
much
likely
greater
likelihood
of
a
negotiation
or
just
a
meaningful.
You
know
conversation
right
now.
It's
just
not
feasible,
it's
not
practical.
We
can't
do
it.
I
The
sheriff
did
provide
us
with
ipad
or
whatever
you
call
it,
and
our
investigator
uses
that
tool
they've.
Given
us
unlimited
phone
access
to
our
clients,
which
has
been
fantastic,
we
can
basically
in
some
ways
it's
better
because
we
can
just
sit
at
our
office
and
make
call
after
call
after
call
and
and
that
works,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
it
has.
You
know
it
doesn't
help.
Obviously
mr
lear
and
but
the
sheriff
and
everybody
is
definitely
begins,
accommodating
as
possible
with
us.
A
I
G
I
And
it
gets
kind
of
murky
because
in
juvenile
port
we
meet,
I
think,
part-timers
benefit
us
in
juvenile
court
because
of
the
conflict
cases
and
the
fact
that
we
represent
multiple
parties.
We
can
represent
both
parents,
we
can
represent
the
child,
we
have
a
guardian
headlight
on.
So
that's
where
ms
meyer,
ms
gowdy
and
mr
parrish
are
down
in
juvenile
court.
So
that's
a
good
fit.
I
The
other
part-timers
allow
us
some
degree
of
flexibility,
but
but
you
know
I
think
I've
talked
about
this
before
I
think
logistically,
it's
better
to
have
as
many
full-time
people
as
possible.
You
know
ms
jones's
caseload's
already
gone
up
dramatically.
Mr
rosenthal
is
going
to
go
up
dramatically,
I'm
assigning
him
numerous
cases
they're
here
24
hours
a
day
or
not
24
hours
a
day,
eight
hours
a
day,
and
I
think
it's
just
it's
a
benefit
for
the
system
for
the
office,
because
that
is
their
primary
and
solas
responsibility.
K
Go
ahead
just
to
start
out
with
a
few
of
our
2020
totals
the
the
totals
in
2020
compared
to
2019
our
contra,
our
contacts
decreased
by
about
3
400
or
about
11
percent
all
due
to
coven,
I
don't
believe
11
percent.
Is
that
bad
when
you
consider
how
kobits
impacted
our
operations
and
our
staff,
our
division
supervisors
and
both
kankakee
iroquois
offices
did
a
great
job,
making
sure
that
we
properly
monitored
people
stayed
in
contact,
we
didn't
lose
anybody
and
dealing
with
constant
changes
to
department
operations
and
our
supervision
standards.
K
It's
they've
done
a
great
job,
and
hopefully
this
will
get
back
to
normal
within
the
next.
You
know
soon
and
we
can
get
back
to
how
we
normally
did
things
more
face-to-face
type
contacts
more
in
the
field
contacts,
as
you
can
see,
I'm
seeing
their
drug
testing
was
very
difficult.
Last
year,
with
covid,
decreasing
from
over
3
600
collected
in
19
to
only
about
a
thousand
439
last
year
and
21
to
ensure
that
doesn't
happen
again,
we've
contracted
with
duane
dean
to
collect
most
of
our
drug
testing,
especially
with
the
adult
population.
K
Moving
forward,
we
started
when
covet
started.
We
started
looking
at
labs
around
the
area
that
could
help
us
that
have
a
better
setup
for
collecting
these
tests.
They
have
a
room
dedicated
for
collecting,
urine
tests,
there's
a
barrier
between
the
collector
and
the
person
providing
the
sample
that
we
just
don't
have
in
the
annex.
K
So
we
think
that'll
work,
we're
still
searching
for
other
labs
to
help
us
out
other
partners
and
because
that
was
a
big
fall
off
in
20
because
of
cobit
and
lastly,
just
in
last
year
our
gps
use
tripled
as
just
kind
of
obvious.
Why-
and
so
I
assume
that
will
still
continue
to
to
be
used
throughout
this
year
at
a
higher
level.
I
should
say.
G
K
K
What's
going
on
in
the
house
that
they're
in
compliance
from
sex
offenders,
to
whoever
you
can't
walk
in
there
and
see,
is
there
children's
toys?
Is
there
other
things?
You
don't
like
what
you're
seeing
it's
basically
done
from
outside
and
that's
it's
not
a
home
visit
in
the
way
that
we
it's
not
as
effective
as
it
could
be,
but
it's
hard
to
also
say
enter
the
home,
go
inside
and
put
the
officer,
possibly
at
risk.
So
so
it's
more
done!
K
K
K
And
to
start
really
develop
a
pre-trial
supervision
program
that
those
individuals
are
hired,
we
filled
them
about.
A
year
ago.
This
week
we
had
the
program
up
and
running
and
then
obviously
coveted
hit
and
affected
really
impacted
the
court
schedules
and
everything
now
I
believe
in
this
coming
year,
these
those
numbers
were
going
to
increase
dramatically,
and
this
is
before
the
latest
legislation
went
through
when
jim
emailed
me
this
morning.
So
what
that's
going
to
do
with
our
numbers
in
pre-trial?
K
I
can't
even
begin
to
and
remember
everybody
that's
on
pre-trial.
We
go
out
to
the
jail,
we
do
a
bond
report.
Every
morning
we
have
people
that
arrive
early
to
the
office
pre-trial
officers.
They
go
out
and
do
a
report,
as
I've
explained
before,
come
back
and
then
there's
a
supervision
component
of
all
this,
and
it's
going
to
be.
I
can't
imagine
where
those
numbers
will
be
in
a
few
years.
K
Also
I,
if
it's
going
to
you,
know,
I'm
scared
that
someone's
going
to
be
placed
on
pre-trial,
violate
pre-trial,
be
taken
into
custody
for
that
violation
and
let
out
the
next
day
back
on
super
duper
pre-trial,
and
you
know
if
it's
just
that
go
around
it.
The
pre-trial
is
a
very
good
program
and
it
does.
It
can
do
great
things.
K
It
can
help
a
lot
of
people.
It
can
get
people
out
of
custody
that
can
remain
in
the
community.
But
if
it's,
if
it's,
what
I'm
thinking
it's
going
to
be
it's
going
to
lose
that
you
know
it's
going
to
lose
that
it's
going
to
be
impossible,
it's
just
going
to
be
shuffling
paperwork
and
re-monitoring
these
people
or
monitoring
these
people
over
over
and
over
again,
I
haven't
read
it
obviously
the
700,
whatever
pages
of
it,
will
do
that
and
the
other
issues
in
the
build
there
is
that
impact
our
office.
K
F
Mr
hunter
tom,
I
know
I've
talked
with
the
chairman
and
have
talked
with
senator
joyce
as
well
as
representative
haas
and
at
some
point
they're
going
to
be
coming
to
this
body
and
they
probably
need
to
hear
an
earful.
I
know
they've
heard
from
sheriff,
downing
and
and
the
state's
attorney
jim
rohn.
I've
talked
to
the
senator
as
well
too
about
it.
So
you
know,
hopefully
the
interested
parties
and
the
stakeholders,
especially
guys
like
you,
will
articulate
what
your
concerns
are
and
remedies.
You
know
to
that.
To
that
bill.
K
G
K
I
have
a
three
hour.
Well,
it's
probably
gonna
be
three
hour
zoom
call
this
afternoon
about
this.
A
lot
of
it
will
be
about
this
and
nobody
knows
the
impact
really.
You
know
you
have
to
read
it.
You
know,
and
I
so
we
it's
a
lot
of
unknowns
out
there
right
now,
so
not
just
on
the
no
cash
bail
part
of
it.
That's
going
to
impact
pre-trial
it's
the
other
stuff.
A
L
B
L
L
Those
are
done
via
video,
which
has
been
very
helpful,
but
again
it's
related
to
covid.
So
we
don't
know
when
that
will
change.
I
would
imagine
that,
we'll
still
when,
when
people
are
getting
sentenced
or
whatever
in
federal
court,
they
will
go
to
chicago.
So
obviously
we'll
keep
an
eye
on
that.
The
one
thing
that
has
helped
is
it:
it
has
helped
our
vehicle
situation
as
far
as
mileage,
we're
not
traveling
every
day
to
chicago,
so
that
has
slowed
down
a
little
bit.
L
So
far
in
2021,
we've
sent
15
to
doc
and
10
have
returned
from
doc,
so
those
numbers
will
stake
and
should
stay
pretty
consistent
as
they
usually
do
traffic
wise.
If
you
look
down
on
the
sworn
section,
there's
some
there's
some
positive
things
in
there,
some
probably
related
to
covid,
but
any
positive
things
we
certainly
will
take.
L
Our
accidents
are
down
in
2020
from
494
last
year
to
426
this
year,
we've
increased
or
the
amount
of
warnings
and
citations
in
2020
and
our
fatals.
Our
fatal
accidents
in
the
county
are
actually
down
from
24
to
13
this
year.
So
those
are
certainly
positives
again.
As
I
said
before,
one
fatal
accident
is
too
many,
but
anytime
we
can
see
a
reduction.
We
we
look
at
that
as
a
positive.
L
L
L
J
Mr
chairman,
mr
lehrer,
and
not
on
the
report
so
much,
but
from
the
response
I
got
from
the
public
defender
sheriff,
I
think
it
looks
like
your
office
is
doing
the
most
appropriate
accommodations
you
can
with
the
situation
you
have
at
kobet.
So
I
applaud
what
you've
done
in
in
an
entirely
difficult
situation.
L
L
We
certainly
understand
that
everybody,
every
inmate
in
our
custody
is
entitled
to
a
a
defense,
and
we
certainly
want
to
allow
ed's
staff
as
much
access
as
we
possibly
can,
while
at
the
same
time
keeping
them
safe
as
well
as
the
inmates
safe.
So
you
know
again
it's
it's
about
working
together
and
I
think
you
know,
I
think
everybody
in
this
county
does
a
good
job
of
that.
Thank
you.
L
L
I
hate
to
use
the
term
junk,
but
that's
probably
the
easiest
description
we
have
checked
around
to
see
if
they
could
be
used
somewhere
else
and
we
have
gotten
nothing.
So
we
are
going
to
declare
them
surplus
and
we
will
hang
on
to
them
for
a
short
time
to
see
if
there's
anybody
that
can
actually
use
them.
But
we
don't
believe
there
is.
If
you
recall,
this
is
a
phone
system
that
we
were
searching.
Ebay
to
get
parts
for,
and
those
parts
have
now
been
pretty
much
non-existent.
M
A
G
G
A
J
L
Fortunately
minor
symptoms,
we
did
transport
three
different
individuals
out
of
that
housing
unit
to
the
hospital
for
low
oxygen
levels,
which
is
also
part
of
our
protocol.
So
if
they're
oxygen
level
according
to
our
medical
staff,
if
oxygen
levels
get
to
a
point
where
they're
below
a
certain
number,
then
they
bring
them
to
the
emergency
room
for
treatment
they
were
brought
there.
I
think
once
spent
a
couple
days
in
the
hospital
another
one
spent
a
day
in
the
hospital,
the
other
one
went
to
the
er
and
returned.
L
L
You
know
we
were
able
to
quarantine
them
in
a
different
housing
unit
before
they
moved
to
our
general
population,
so
that
certainly
helped
significantly.
Our
corrections,
staff
and
medical
staff
have
done
outstanding
work
dealing
with
this
pandemic,
providing
ppe
additional
cleaning
and
increased
sanitizing.
L
L
L
L
L
So
we
did
not
take
a
different
staff
member
every
shift
and
move
to
that
housing
unit.
So
it
was
kind
of
a
puzzle
to
try
to
make
sure
that
we
didn't
expose
people
that
we,
you
know
that
didn't
need
to
be
exposed
and
the
jail
administration
did
a
really
good
job
with
it.
So
there
were
there.
We
have
had
some
positive
inmate
employee
tests
on
both
sides.
We've
had
a
couple
deputies
who
have
tested
positive
as
well
for
other
reasons
not
from
the
jail,
but
so
yeah.
L
L
H
I
just
wanted
to
move
your
microphone
over.
I
just
wanted
to
comment
that
it
seems
like
you've
done
a
great
job,
eight
months
without
covid,
and
it
seems
like
it's
under
control
in
the
jail,
but
speaking
of
not
taking
new
prisoners.
Have
we
seen
any
signs
of
being
reimbursed
by
the
state
of
illinois
for
the
prisoners
that
we
held
on
to
for
months.
L
A
L
L
Both
have
advised
me
they
were
opposed
to
it
and
and
again
I
I
don't
think
that
anybody
is
opposed
to
police
reform.
I
don't
know
anybody
out.
There
is
opposed
to
it,
but
I
think
there's
a
way
to
do
this,
that
we
don't
have
to
jam
it
down
people's
throat
and
and
try
and
sneak
things
through
at
at
five
o'clock
in
the
morning.
L
L
It's
not
something
that
we
just
change
in
the
legislative
session
departments
within
ourselves,
reform
ourselves
at
least
most
places.
Do
the
unfortunate
part
with
this
bill
is
that
this
is
strictly
a
cook
county
bill.
This
is
a
chicago
police
bill
and
everybody
is
jamming
all
this
police
reform
down
the
entire
state
of
illinois
throat
because
they
can't
get
it
right
in
chicago
and
that's
disappointing
because
we
don't
operate
like
chicago.
L
I
don't
think
anybody
else
in
the
state
of
illinois
operates
like
chicago,
so
that
part
of
it
is
frustrating,
but
the
fact
that
they
jam
this
stuff
in
at
five
in
the
morning
in
a
700
plus
page
bill
that
people
have
an
hour
to
read.
I
don't
know
if
anybody's
ever
sat
down
and
read
a
bill,
but
reading
a
two
page
build
would
put
you
to
sleep.
L
I
can't
imagine
a
700
plus
page
bill
that
you
have
to
sit
there
and
read
an
hour
and
we
wonder
why
people
don't
trust
government
and
that's
the
that's
the
ultimate
in
so
one
of
the
things,
and
I
had
a
I
have
a
list
here
somewhere
and-
and
this
is
all
relative
to
house
bill
163,
but
so
it's
really
non-existent
since
house.
Bill
163
doesn't
exist
anymore.
So
I
mean
the
only
thing
I
would
say.
In
addition,
is
that-
and
I
know
jim
spoke
on
jim
spoke
on
cashless
bail.
L
C
L
L
L
F
F
You
know
we
have
control
in
terms
of
jackie
and
and
and
senator
joyce.
You
know
he's
had
a
lot
of
discussions.
They
have
had
a
lot
of
discussions
with
you.
You
represent
law
enforcement
in
this
county.
You
have
a
substantial
role
with
the
illinois
sheriff's
association
you're,
held
in
high
regard
there.
They
heard
you
and
and
and
they
did
the
appropriate
thing
based
on
the
feedback
that
you
gave
them
jim
gave
them.
Other
people
gave
them
as
well
too
fop,
I'm
sure
as
well
too.
F
I've
heard
about
all
the
phone
calls
that
our
local
legislators
have
received
now.
I
would
think
that
all
of
us
need
to
be
in
tune
in
terms
of
what's
going
on.
You
know
initially
with
house
bill
163,
and
you
may
recall
in
my
text
to
you.
I
think
I
said
the
stuff
needs
to
be
separated
right,
no
doubt
and
and
and
they
agreed
with
that
too
senator
says
hunter.
You
and
I
are
thinking
the
same
way
in
that
regard
so
yep.
F
M
G
G
I
wish
at
some
point
that
we
were
able
to
create
what
they
call
the
down
state
coalition,
where
you
have
the
numbers
when
things
happen,
where
we
have
to
swallow
unfunded
mandates
and
things
of
nature
from
things
that
chicago
pushed
into
place,
that
we
have
this
other
7
000
or
at
least
6
500,
that
can
oppose
it
and
kind
of
reach.
Some
type
of
point
of
equilibrium,
where
they're
hearing
our
voices
versus
us
always
saying
as
go
chicago,
ask
all
the
rest
of
the
state.
L
L
L
L
And
lastly,
this
is
our
annual
report
for
2020.,
it's
not
officially
out.
Yet
it's
still
under
review,
we're
still
making
sure
that
all
the
numbers
are
right
and
accurate,
but
it's
close,
and
once
we
are
done
with
it,
we
will
push
it
out
on
our
sheriff's
app.
That
will
be
available
for
everybody
to
take
a
look
at.
G
L
I'm
assuming
so
I
mean,
I
think
I
think
the
incoming
president
has
to
change
those
executive
orders.
I
mean,
I
think,
they're
good
until
the
next
president
changes
them.
So,
oh,
I
I
highly
doubt
that
he
will
come
in
and
change
something
especially
dealing
with
exac
with
dealing
with
excessive
force.
C
C
C
C
Autopsies
went
up
to
15..
Something
concerning
that
happened
in
december
was
the
amount
of
overdoses
we
had
already
this
year.
We've
confirmed
three
and
we
have
another
probable
three
that
are
pending,
that
will
more
than
likely
fall
into
that
tally
as
well
of
the
three
that
we've
confirmed.
Fentanyl
was
a
contributing
drug
in
all
three
of
those.
C
C
Www.Keycountycorner.Org,
you
can
go
on
there.
It's
right
at
the
top
of
the
home
page
for
everybody
to
see.
I'm
just
going
to
hit
a
few
of
the
highlights.
For
the
sake
of
time,
report
kind
of
starts
out
with
our
staffing.
I
know
that
corner
gesture
speaks
a
lot
about
how
proud
of
his
staff
he
is,
and
I
would
echo
those
same
sentiments
I
tallied
up
yesterday
and
we
have
101
years
of
total
experience
in
our
department.
C
The
average
employee
has
11.2
years
of
service
longest.
Employee
has
been
here
37
years.
We
all
know
who
that
is,
and
the
shortest
employee
has
been
here
for
two
years.
So
a
wide
range
of
skills
and
experience
that
make
us
all
complement
each
other
well
and
perform
well,
as
a
team
you'll
see
in
our
report
that
our
calls
for
service
and
fiscal
year,
2020
we're
up
the
highest
we've
ever
had
159
calls
over
fiscal
year
2019.
C
C
C
Our
autopsy
and
work
expenditures
were
again
a
significant
portion
of
our
budget.
Last
year
we
haven't
received
the
final
numbers
yet,
however,
I
anticipate
that
we
will
be
under
budget,
which
is
always
good.
One
thing
that
helped
us
significantly
was
the
funding
that
the
county
received
as
part
of
the
cares
act.
We
were
able
to
spend
a
significant
amount
of
money
buying,
ppe
and
other
supplies
that
we
would
need
that
has
enabled
us
to
be
pretty
well
stocked
going
into
the
fiscal
year.
2021.
C
C
Keep
in
mind
too
that
there
may
have
been
more
if,
for
example,
somebody
was
shot
in
kankakee
or
the
county
and
transported
to
a
chicago
hospital
and
died
there.
That
would
count
as
a
homicide
for
the
police
agency,
but
not
for
us,
so
that
number
could
be
a
little
bit
different.
Potentially
as
far
as
overdoses,
there
was
a
72
percent
increase
in
overdoses,
from
fiscal
year
2019
to
fiscal
year.
2020,
where
we
had
50
total
keep
in
mind.
2017
was
the
record
at
56,
so
we
came
really
close
to
hitting
that
unfortunate
record
again.
C
The
average
age
of
our
overdoses
was
40
years
old,
youngest
victim
17,
the
oldest
51.
There
were
37
males,
13
females,
40
caucasian
nine
african-american
and
one
other
of
the
50
overdoses.
Fentanyl
was
listed
on
33
of
those
death
certificates.
The
pain
and
heroin
were
also
significant
drugs
that
played
a
role
in
a
number
of
those
deaths.
C
C
In
fiscal
year
2020
there
were
nine
organ
donors
in
our
county
and
28
tissue
donors.
A
great
thing,
one
donor
has
the
opportunity
to
enhance
or
save
the
lives
of
up
to
25
people.
So
obviously
we
can
continue
to
increase
our
number
the
better
off
we
are.
You
can
go
to
our
website
and
sign
up
to
be
an
organ
donor.
You
can
go
to
the
secretary
of
state's
website
to
do
that
as
well.
C
Also
in
2020
we
issue
more
cremation
permits
than
we
ever
have
before
cremation
rate
was
about
60
percent,
which
is
up
from
52
in
2017
likely
cause
of
that
probably
the
proven
pandemic.
People
couldn't
have
funeral
services,
and
things
like
that,
so
they
opted
to
go
for
cremation,
which
obviously
increased
our
number
there
and
then.
Finally,
the
covet
update
for
fiscal
year
2020..
We
had
125
cova
deaths
in
this
year.
2020
the
first
step
occurred
on
april
1st
and
the
last
was
on
november
29th.
C
C
The
most
common
ages
were
84
and
86,
with
eight
decedents
in
each
age
there
were
29
of
us
in
april,
28th
s
and
may
7
in
june
four
in
july.
I'm
sorry,
two
in
july,
four
in
august,
born
september,
6th
in
october
and
then
45
in
november,
the
most
deaths
that
we
had
occurred
on
november
28th
when
we
had
five
people
died
due
to
focal
illness.

Thank
you
and
you
know
we
we
keep
our
website
up
to
date
daily
too.
So
it's
anybody
at
any
point
can
go
online
and
you
can
get
a
good
glimpse
of
what's
really
going
on
what
we're
seeing
and
you
know
if
there's
something
like
I
mentioned,
there's
something
more
that
you
want
to
see.
Let
us
know
we'll
be
more
than
happy
to
work
to
get
that
done.
A

M
You
I
I
just
wanted
to
say,
because
you
know
like
it.
I
got
the
notices
that
this
this
bill
was
going
to
be
going
through
it
5
a.m.
From
a
county
board
perspective,
I'd
always
try
to
frame
it
in.
What's
our
purview,
what
do
we
what's?
What
should
be
most
concerned
with?
Not
as
as
a
citizen,
I'm
really
concerned
with?
M
You
know
the
policing
aspect,
you
know
justice
being
blind
now,
it's
kneecapped
and
all
of
that
kind
of
stuff,
but
as
far
as
what
we
have
to
do,
I
want
to
let
the
board
know
that
you
know
we.
We
don't
set
policy
for
policing,
that's
up
to
the
sheriff.
We
don't
set
policy
for
the
state's
attorney,
that's
up
to
the
courts
and
the
supreme
court,
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
You
know
the
the
way
they
do
their
own
things,
it's
their
own
area.
M
All
of
those
department,
heads
and
everybody
here
and
everybody
in
the
community
needs
to
understand
that
everything
that
they
have
just
done
is
unfunded,
correct,
they're
shoving.
It
down
to
us
to
gather
the
money
that
used
to
be
paid
for
from
bail
bond
type
activities
or
fees
and
fines
they're
no
longer
going
to
be
that
way.
So
as
we
keep
picking
people
up
for
an
offense
and
then
not
showing
up
for
the
trial
and
then
not
showing
or
the
you
know
not
showing
up
for
not
showing
up,
you
know
that
that
circle
keeps
continuing.
M
That's
cost
cost
costs
where
there's
no
recouping
any
way
to
pay
for
it,
and
so
I
need
to
know
the
board
needs
to
know
what
grants
have
been
lost
by
all
department
heads
that
are
associated
with
criminal
justice
and
really
anything
else,
because
now
we
have
to
pick
up
that
cost
all
local
matches
for
all
of
the
grants.
All
the
soft
money
that
mr
hunter
was
talking
about,
we
potentially
and
quite
likely
will
not
have
that
money
anymore.
M
So
all
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
to
try
to
keep
people
out
of
the
system
that
discretionary
money
that
we
said
we
want
for
interaction
with
high
school
students
that
are
brushing
up
against
the
law.
You
know
the
the
specialty
courts
even
how
we
fund
public
defenders
how
we
fund
all
of
this
stuff
court
security.
Everything
is
tied
to
this
bill
that
passed
in
the
pre-dawn
hours,
with
the
with
the
roosters
crowing.
M
That
part
is
offensive,
but
the
reality
is
it's
going
to
gut
the
things
that
we
were
doing
as
a
bipartisan
board
to
impact
communities
of
color
or
for
issues
that
impact
communities
of
color.
We
were
doing
those
things
here
with
the
state's
attorney
in
the
county
board.
We
decided
we
want
to
fund
this
stuff,
that's
gone.
M
M
The
special
funds
that
are
that
are
filled
up
with
with
funds
to
buy
computers
for
the
circuit
clerk
or
for
the
well,
not
the
recorder,
that's
a
different
revenue
stream,
but
you
know
the
court
security
fees
and
all
of
those
things
well,
their
salaries
being
paid
out
of
those
special
funds
as
well,
legally
mind
you,
but
so
how
do
we
pay
for
those
employees
now
that
those
funds
are
gone
and
that
will
impact
court
operations
at
a
time
that
it's
already
stressed
with
a
backlog?
That's
what
eight
nine
months
old
nine
months.
M
This
does
just
the
opposite
outside
of
cook
county
of
what
its
intention
is,
is
to
do
and
and
you're
kneecapping
law
enforcement.
I'm
setting
that
aside.
Okay,
we
can
all
have
a
difference
of
opinion.
As
the
sheriff
said,
there
needs
to
be
reform
there
and
continuum,
but
what
we
have
to
worry
about
is
county
board
members.
This
is
an
all-out
assault
on
the
finances
and
the
good
work
which
we've
already
started
doing
here.
How
are
we
going
to
pay
for
this
stuff?
M
So
we
need
to
think
about
that,
because
there
is
no
answer
to
that
completely
totally
unfunded
and
we
saw
what
those
cashless
bail
has
done.
You
know
for
or
for
for
us
already
for
the
last,
what
two
years
two
years,
so
we
have
a
severe
financial
strain
in
the
court
systems
because
we're
not
able
to
collect
for
people
paying
the
fine
for
doing
the
crime.
M
I
just
want
to
mention
that,
because
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
coming
in
the
next
few
months
about
what
the
impact
is
going
to
be
very
specific
down
to
the
fund
level,
can
we
afford
that
local
match
of
the
20
of
the
good
work
that
we're
doing?
Sorry,
not
if
it's
to
pay
for
a
clerk
to
run
a
courtroom?
M
G
G
G
So
we
need
that
voice
to
become
a
collective
voice,
because
I
know
it's
not
only
unique
to
cancun
key
county
but
to
the
other
counties
that
exists
that
how
we're
gonna
pay
for
all
of
this.
If
you
take
the
the
the
monies,
if
we,
if
you
give
us
these
elaborate
responsibilities,
financial
responsibilities,
how
then
are
we
going
to
pay
for?
Did
you
ever
think
of
that
when
you
sat
at
the
table
and
created
these
new
bills.
