Criminal Justice Committee Meeting 07/13/2022 7:30am

A
Okay,
I
have
not
received
anything
from
public
comment.
Is
there
any
public
comment
at
this
time?
Any
public
comment
going
on.
Should
I
receive
the
minutes
of
june
15
2022.
Take
a
motion
to
approve
mr
hunter.
Second
by
mr
carrico,
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye
opposed
same
sign
motion
carriage
up
next
chief
judge,
covington.
C
C
All
the
chief
judges
in
the
state
of
illinois
meet
regularly
and
discuss
this
issue.
We
have
a
meeting
friday
in
chicago
that
will
be
the
the
topic
we're
working
around
this
statute
that
we
have.
That
is
really
not
clear
as
to
all
of
the
points
that
we
need
to
consider
the
logistics
and
the
issue,
so
we're
trying
to
develop
a
game
plan
and
not
all
the
circuits
are
going
to
be
the
same.
C
I
think
some
of
the
circuits
might
interpret
the
law
a
little
differently
than
other
circuits
and
we
may
have
to
wait
for
the
appellate
court
to
say
no,
that's
not
the
right
interpretation
of
that
vague
law.
We
interpret
it
this
way
and
then
we
have
to
change
so
we'll
do
the
best
interpretation
we
can
with
the
the
legal
minds
that
are
there
and
the
the
advice
that
we're
given,
so
that
that's
proceeding.
We
hope
there'll
be
some
trailer
bills
in
november
to
clean
up
some
of
the
issues.
C
The
fourth
issue,
then,
is
the
rfp
for
the
case
management
system.
That
is
now
on
the
county
website.
The
deadline
is
august
25th
for
submission
of
of
the
proposals
from
the
various
vendors.
I
know
anita's
here,
she's
our
contact
person
and
has
done
a
lot
of
work
on
this.
We
appreciate
that
anita.
I
don't
know
if
you've
received
any
any
proposals
yet
or
questions,
but
we
we're
only
expecting
maybe
three
or
four
that
that
might
come
in
there
aren't
that
many
players
in
that
game.
C
So
those
were
the
four
things
I
wanted
to
mention,
and
then
I
do
have
an
introduction
to
make.
Last
wednesday
justice,
robert
carter
from
the
illinois
supreme
court,
was
at
our
courthouse
and
he
had
the
the
privilege
and
the
honor
of
swearing
in
our
newest
circuit
judge,
adrian
albrecht,
our
circuit
judge,
retired
last
wednesday
or
last
tuesday,
and
on
wednesday.
We
we
stole
from
the
state's
attorney's
office
again
again,
their
losses
are
gained.
Marlo,
jones
and
marlowe
is
here
he's
our
newest
circuit
judge
like
to
introduce
him.
C
Marlow
is
a
veteran
the
air
force
he's
also
the
former
chief
of
the
criminal
division
of
the
state's
attorney's
office
and
his
term
ends
in
december
of
2024.
I
believe,
and
so
there'll
be
an
election
then
to
to
fill
that
spot
permanently,
and
it
is
a
circuit
judge
position.
It's
not
an
associate
position,
so
you'll
have
to
run
for
election
and
we
wish
him
the
best
and
we
welcome
him
aboard
you
guys.
D
Right
here
there
you
go
well,
I
just
want
to
say
good
morning,
I'm
excited
to
I've
been
working
with
kankakee
county
since
december
of
16
and
in
my
role
as
a
former
prosecutor,
I'm
looking
forward
to
this
new
role
of
still
serving
the
people
of
kankakee
county
and,
if
there's
anything
I
can
do,
please
let
me
know
if
I
can
be
of
assistance
in
any
way.
Okay,
thank
you.
You
have
a
question.
E
Yeah
I
want
to
make
a
comment.
I
had
the
opportunity
to
attend
the
swearing-in
ceremonies
of
judge,
marlo
jones
and
I
I
almost
brought
to
tears
in
terms
of
the
pomp
circumstance
and
the
ambiance
and
the
environment
that
that
hollowed
room
300..
It
was
amazing.
You
mentioned
that
justice
carter
was
there
appellate
court
justice,
mary
kay
o'brien,
had
words
as
well
too,
and
I
walked
up
to
our
chief
judge
tom
connington.
I
said
tom,
I
don't
know
where
you
got
those
words
from
you
know.
E
I
thought
about
putting
a
collar
on
on
around
his
neck,
because
he
did
a
really
a
magnanimous
job
and
you
look
at
the
diversity
of
the
people.
The
attendees
there
everybody
was
upbeat.
People
came
from
miles
around
to
to
witness
marlo
swearing
in,
and
it
was
just
an
amazing
particular
event
when
all
the
justice
all
the
judges
walked
in
there
was
really
something
to
behold
and
you
look
at
the
diversity.
E
You
know
there
were
comments
about
the
composition
of
the
judiciary.
There
amazing,
but
I
guys
next
time
we
have
a
vacancy.
You
gotta,
attend
that
particular
ceremony.
It'll
it'll
really
move
you
and
I'm
I'm
really
pleased
chief
that
looking
at
the
diversity
there,
I
said
my
god
look
like
the
united
nations
and
I
I
really
appreciate
what
you
guys
have
been
able
to
do.
Marlo
god
bless
you.
We
look
forward.
F
F
I
remember
when
justice
drew
came
in
the
appellate,
I
mean
the
attorney
general
came
down,
not
the
attorney
general
excuse
me.
The
illinois
supreme
court
just
came
in
to
stall
and
then
again
for
the
first
african-american
circuit
judge,
because
faulkner
was
with
will
county
and
justice
drew
was
with
the
21st,
so
she
was
the
first
woman
to
be
installed,
african-american
or
whatever,
so
we're
making
great
strides,
and
we
have
asian.
That's
on
the
court.
I
say
so.
A
G
G
I'm
meeting
with
some
of
my
key
people
today
to
start
talking
about
how
our
office
will
operate
when
we
move
to
the
weekends
and
the
holidays
and
open
court,
and
all
that,
so
I
will
know
more
later
on
in
the
year,
we'll
have
to
open
up
our
union
contract
and
kind
of
get
those
things
settled
as
well.
So
we
have
a
little
bit
of
work
to
do,
but
other
than
that.
E
A
H
See
where
up
to
356
indictments
have
gone
through
grand
jury
this
year,
20
at
the
last
one
we
have
50
scheduled
for
tomorrow,
so
we're
just
trying
to
get
through
them.
We've
had
a
lot
of
cases
coming
in
lately
for
review
and
charging
you
can
see
in
there
90
there's
about
90
91.
That
would
really
fall
into
a
domestic
category.
H
H
H
At
times
I
see
people
post
videos
of
fights
that
happen
at
local
gas
stations
on
facebook,
and
I
see
grown
ass
adults
get
on
there
and
comment
to
fuel
those
fights
you
know
to
to
celebrate
it
for
lack
of
a
better
word
and
I
think
it's
repulsive.
I
can't
believe
that
our
we
live
in
a
community
where
this
level
of
violence
is
not
only
occurring
but
where
it
just
seems
to
be
accepted.
H
We
really
need
the
community
to
step
up.
We
need
parents
to
step
up,
we
had
a
shooting
occur
in
the
city
of
kankakee,
where
at
least
two
children
were
shot
and
at
a
party
and
you're
going
to
tell
me
nobody
at
that
party
saw
anything
and
if
they
did
see
something,
why
aren't
you
coming
forward
and
do
you
want
to
be
the
one
who
stays
quiet
and
then
the
next
thing
you
know,
maybe
it's
your
child
that
gets
shot
next
time.
H
We
we
need
the
community
to
step
forward.
You
know
law
enforcement.
I
see
what
they're
doing
every
day
they
are
busting
their
ass
they're
they're
working
as
hard
as
they
can,
and
sometimes
when
everyone
is
short
staffed,
it's
hard
to
play,
catch
up
and
go
backwards
to
work
on
cases
when
you
have
three
more
coming
down
the
chute
every
day,
but
I
see
their
their
passion
for
it.
H
H
You
know
this
idea
that
we
can't
protect
them.
We
have
resources
in
our
office.
We
have
resources
with
local
law
enforcement
to
protect
people
who
come
forward
everything
from
relocation
expenses.
We
have
moved
people
across
this
country
to
protect
them
when
they
come
forward,
so
those
resources
do
exist.
So
the
idea
that
that
there
is
no
protection
for
someone
that
comes
forward,
that's
a
falsehood
as
well.
H
I
can't
imagine
what
they're
going
through
right
now
and
those
are
cases
as
far
as
the
cases
that
were
in
court
domestic
incidents
that
occurred
in
that
household
that
need
to
be
looked
at
not
only
by
individual
agencies,
but
our
domestic
violence
task
force
that
the
county
played
a
role
in
helping
us
form.
Just
a
couple
months
ago,
we
meet
weekly
and
I'm
sure
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
case
that
is
talked
about
in
that
task
force
meeting.
There
are
all
across
this
country.
How
many
times?
H
Do
you
see
where
a
police
officer
responds
to
the
scene
of
a
domestic
and
is
ultimately
ambushed
or
becomes
the
victim
in
that
incident?
Those
are
some
of
the
most
highest
risk
incidents
that
police
can
respond
to
and
that
they're
oftentimes
toxic,
because
neither
party
really
wants
as
much
as
they
want
the
police
there,
because
they've
called
the
police.
They
really
don't
want
the
police
there
because
of
that
domestic
nature
of
that
relationship.
H
When
I
look
back
over
the
case
history
involving
specifically
these
individuals,
we
see
cases
from
2013
where,
when
the
victim
became
uncooperative,
the
case
was
dismissed,
2014
uncooperative
cases
dismissed.
That
is
not
an
anomaly
for
them.
That
is
the
cycle
of
domestic
violence.
You
know
they
say
it's
seven
or
eight
times
a
victim
leaves
before
they
stay
gone
out
of
that
household
ruth
had
applied
filed
for
divorce,
and
then
months
later
it
was
dismissed
because
the
court
notes
that
they
reconciled.
H
That
is
the
cycle
of
domestic
violence.
It's
not
something
out
of
the
ordinary.
When
we
look
at
the
cases
that
we're
pending
in
the
court
system,
time
and
time
again,
we
would
have
cases
set
for
trial,
but
when
you
have
an
uncooperative
victim
or
uncooperative
survivor,
it's
almost
impossible
to
go
forward.
With
that
case,
we
don't
dismiss
those
cases.
H
H
Unfortunately,
you
know
it's
not
always
enough
to
have
a
piece
of
paper
that
says
stay
away
and
that's
when
it
requires
other
people
in
the
community
neighbors
family
friends
to
come
forward.
You
can't
see
something
like
that
happen
and
say:
well,
that's
not
my
business,
that's
not
my
marriage!
Those
are
my
friends.
I
don't
want
to
get
in
the
middle
of
it.
H
H
So
I
apologize
for
going
on
about
that,
but
that's
weighing
heavily
on
the
minds
of
everyone
in
my
office
today,
our
victim
witness,
advocates
all
of
our
prosecutors
who
are
involved
in
these
cases.
That
is
the
exact
thing
that
we
all
aim
to
prevent
and
we're
not
able
to
prevent
it
every
time.
No
one
is,
but
when
it
does
happen,
we
have
to
look
at
it
and
figure
out.
You
know
what
the
hell
happened
here
so.
E
A
E
E
Do
we
or
have
we
or
will
we
do
any
kind
of
clinical
assessment
of
the
perpetrators
who
commit
these
heinous
crimes
in
terms
of
their
backgrounds,
education,
psychosis?
If
any
at
all,
do
you
have
the
manpower
to
do
that?
Or
could
you
work
with
jackie
haas
and
helen
wheeler
or
dwayne
dean,
or
somebody
to
do
profiles
on
these
folks
yeah.
H
We
will
offer
those
at
the
pre-sentencing
stage
before
we
send
them
to
prison,
they
do
a
pre-sentence
investigation
and
they
can
evaluate
that
and
extract
all
that
information
and
data
and
where
they
went
to
school-
and
you
know
how
many
times
dad
spanked
them.
We
can
get
all
that
information
in
the
psi,
but
we
have
to
get
to
that
stage.
We
have
to
identify
him.
First,
get
him
into
custody,
prosecute
him,
get
him
convicted.
F
We
say
reverend
wrote,
but
today
I'll
say
jim,
I
see
your
passion
in
the
last
week
I
had
the
opportunity.
I
was
staying
at
a
couple
of
motels
that
was
here
in
town
because
of
this
raccoon
issue
and
stuff
that
they're
doing
at
my
house
and
something
jumped
out
in
the
same
place
at
the
conference,
and
it
was
nice
and
peaceful,
but
they
was
arguing
through
the
whole,
the
whole
nine
yards.
So
I
told
them
call
the
priest.
They
say
that
they
were
told
not
to
really.
F
You
know,
let
it
doubt,
but
these
people
kept
going
disturbing
the
whole
room,
and
so
I
told
them
tell
them
that
I
said
call
the
police
and
tell
them,
and
I
gave
him
who
I
was
and
when
I
got
there,
the
bradley
officer
showed
up-
and
I
said
I
hope-
you're
not
here
by
yourself-
I
need
you're.
Gonna-
probably
need
somebody
else
with
all
that
cussing.
So
anyway,
the
individual
we
finally
got
them
removed.
F
They
were
kind
of
blazing
the
weather,
but
it
was
told
to
me
believe
that
you
just
get
arrested
and
I
see
in
situations
that
people,
don't
I
don't
say
they
don't
know
what
to
do,
but
they
don't
know
they
try
to.
They
don't
want
to
put
themselves
in
a
position
where
they
are
and
then
the
second
one
was
at
the
red
roof.
Again
the
person
was
okay,
but
some
guy
showed
up
and
he
said
that
he
was
going
to
hit,
and
so
I
come
out
the
room,
and
I
told
him.
F
F
Maybe
if
you
are
afraid
individually,
come
together,
collectively
and
and
be
ready
to
call
or
whatever
for
the
backup,
and
I
think
that
we
can
flip
or
turn
this
thing
around
if
the
community,
if
you
don't
want
to
get
involved,
because
I
don't,
I
agree
with
you-
it's
not
snitching
it's
reporting
and
I
would
that
they
do
report,
because
if
we
don't
nothing
happens
some
time
ago,
they
say:
let's
vote
the
blue
out.
That's
not
the
dumbest
idea.
You
can
take
cause.
Who
are
you
on
the
call
ghostbusters?
F
The
thing
is
we
have
to
turn
around
and
come
together
as
community
state's
attorney
police.
I
don't
care
how
many
law
enforcement,
I
don't
care,
how
tight
your
criminal
justice
system
if
that
element
of
the
people
are
not
in
the
equation,
is
very
difficult
because
you
don't
know
back
in
the
day
when
I
was
with
working
with
zillery
writing
with
the
police
and
going
into
a
domestic
situation.
F
They
teach
you,
you
don't
know
how
that's
gonna,
it
looks
so
peaceful
and
it
can
turn
deadly
in
just
a
second.
So
I
agree
with
you,
but
the
p
and
I
and
wholeheartedly
say
that
the
people
do
have
to
get
involved
and
if
you
don't
want
to
collect,
go
to
some
of
your
elected
officials
and
and
and
let
them
work
with
you.
Some
people
do
that
and
and
that's
successful
so
there's
some
other
options
out
there.
F
A
A
A
I
I
You
know
it's
gonna
be
very
beneficial
to
the
county
as
far
as
the
cost,
so
also
just
the
monthly
update
on
pre-trial
we're
still
putting
plans
together
to
deal
with
january
1st,
with
with
our
vacancies
with
our
you
know,
we
have
a
couple
ideas
from
group
reporting
to
other
ideas
that
we're
putting
together
right
now
to
handle
that
also
related,
not
specific
to
my
department.
But
chairman
wheeler
has
been
asked
to
be
on
the
pre-trial
practices
and
implement
implementation
task
force
that
they
formed.
I
They
have
about
six
subcommittees
on
that
task.
Force
and
chairman
miller's
been
put
on
the
education
subcommittee,
so
I
think
it's
gonna
be
very
helpful
that
we
have
a
someone-
local,
that's
in
the
loop,
that's
getting
the
information
as
we
go
forward.
I
don't
know
how
long
this
is
going
to
take
and
how
long
that
task
force
is
going
to
you
know.
I
I
don't.
I
don't
know
their
timetable.
Their
timetable
keeps
moving,
so
I
don't
know
that
they're
going
to
be
meeting
bi-weekly
a
couple
times
a
month.
I
And
lastly,
I
just
have
it's
not
until
september
1st
but
drug
court,
graduation,
it's
going
to
be
a
bigger
one,
there's
going
to
be
six
graduates
plus
they're,
inviting
some
graduates
from
the
past
back
to
be
part
of
the
ceremony.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
bigger
deal,
so
I'll
get
that
information
out
to
kelly
to
get
out
to
everybody.
So
but
that's.
I
We're
still
at
three,
you
know
you
gain
one,
you
lose
one
kind
of
thing,
but
we're
at
three.
We
have
one
in
the
pre-trial
one
in
adult.
We
call
it
line
staff
and
then
one
in
our
juvenile
division
so
but
we're
they're
interviewing
yesterday,
so
we're
trying
to
trying
to
get
filled.
But
it's
just
like
again.
I
keep
saying
not
a
lot
of
applicants
coming
in.
So
it's.
I
A
J
J
So
it's
a
little
bit
different.
What's
on
the
report,
our
total
inmates
are
at
522
out
of
county
or
plus
18.,
but
that's
pretty
much
on
the
corrections
side.
I
do
want
to
follow
up
a
little
bit
from
sheriff
downey
reported
in
the
last
criminal
justice
meeting
that
the
overtime
budget
part
of
that
was
our
manpower.
J
J
We
continue
to
actively
recruit
to
get
that
number
up
from
those
five
left,
but
we're
making
good
strides.
Is
there
any
lateral
coming
in
there?
I
think
we
had
one
one
one
that
was
looking
to
come
over.
I
think
chad
was
speaking
with
him
and
getting
that,
but
that's
important.
Our
corrections.
Staff
has
been
working
a
lot
of
overtime
and
I
know
that's
good
on
the
paycheck,
but
it's
summertime
and
families.
J
That's
tough,
16
hour
days
are
tough,
so
we
definitely
applaud
our
correctional
officers
for
the
hard
work
that
they're
doing
to
maintain.
So
if
you
get
a
chance
and
you
see
them,
thank
them,
it's
a
tough
job.
Those
guys,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
do
there's
no
doubt
and
we
appreciate
them,
and
we
will
continue
to
work
hard
to
get
them
the
manpower
they
need
to
do
their
day-to-day
operations.
A
J
J
So
you
know
we
when
we
see
a
problem,
we
react
and
that's
how
we're
reacting
with
this
task
force
we're
working
with
state's
attorney's
office
on
these
cases.
So
I
guess
I
can
really
leave
it
at
that.
We're
aware
of
the
issue,
that's
why
we
form
the
task
force
and
that's
why
we're
meeting
to
come
up
and
and
work
with
the
social
service
agencies
and
and
j
in
the
jail.
J
J
J
Go
ahead
other
than
that,
I
don't
one
of
another
issue
that
we've
also
been
taking
a
look
at.
Is
our
traffic
accidents
a
lot
of
distracted
driving
out
there,
a
lot
of
accidents
involving
distracted
driving
duis?
So
the
sheriff
has
wanted
to
focus
on
that.
We
have
an
officer
now
assigned
to
a
traffic
enforcement
unit
to
go
out
there
and
start
to
try
to
lower
those
numbers
and
lower
those
stats.
J
E
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
chairman,
chad.
Last
criminal
justice
meeting
sheriff
downey
indicated
and
reported
that
champaign
county
with
its
construction
renovation
of
the
jail
received
another
million
dollars
infusion
of
dollars
that
will
impact
and
extend
the
time
that
we'll
receive
those
inmates
from
champaign
which
helps
us
with
the
loss
of
the
ice,
detainees,
etc,
etc.
Any
any
other
report
on
that
at
all.
J
A
J
J
Precision
piping
is
over
there
right
now
trying
to
find
the
problem
they've
been
in
the
walls.
It
sounds
like
the
problem
may
be
under
the
concrete
of
the
dog
kennels,
so
yeah
yeah.
Well,
it's
something
that
we
have
to
address
because
we
won't
be
in
looking
for
spring.
I
think
so
just
to
give
the
committee-
and
I
gave
the
chairman
a
heads
up
yesterday-
that
this
is
going
on
there's
nothing.
J
A
K
K
K
We're
up
25
calls
year-to-date
from
where
we
were
last
year
at
this
point
and
that's
with
a
significant
downturn
in
covet
deaths,
so
that
just
tells
you
the
other
types
of
calls
that
we're
getting
car
accidents,
homicides,
overdoses,
all
those
other
suicides,
things
that
we
we
deal
with,
as
I
told
you
last
month
by
this
month,
we'd
be
reporting,
24
overdoses
and
that's
indeed
true.
There
is
one
additional
overdose
case
at
this
time,
that's
pending
and
just
to
touch
on
the
violence
in
the
community
a
little
bit.
K
Obviously,
we
can't
attach
a
price
tag
to
any
one
individual's
life,
but
every
time
one
of
those
events
occurs,
there's
a
cost
to
that
and
we're
starting
to
see
a
significant
cost
in
our
office
for
each
one
of
these
cases
that
we
have
to
investigate
and
just
to
give
an
example.
The
the
triple
homicide
in
the
city
of
kankakee
a
few
weeks
ago
cost
us
thus
far
just
under
seven
thousand
dollars
in
autopsies
tax,
transport
and
personnel,
and
that
doesn't
count
all
the
other
entities
that
incur
cost
state's
attorneys
sheriff
state
police
anybody
else.
K
A
K
A
A
F
F
I
think
in
this
day
and
time
that
would
be
both
for
the
city
and
and
for
the
county
or
any
police
department
that
give
those
extra
eyes
to
the
volunteer
officers
who
have
to
go
through
training
but
yet
can
be
utilized
in
in
various
various
capacities
which
could
alleviate
some
of
the.
What
I
consider
to
be
the
decrease
in
eyes
of
enforcement
in
areas
where
a
presence
is
needed,
but
not
but
not
actually
mandated.
