Kankakee County Criminal Justice Meeting 11/13/2019 7:30 AM
A

B
A
A
A
Chief
judge
I
do
not
see
him
here.
Next
up
is
the
circuit
clerk's
office
set
in
the
C
on
C
in
your
package
you
have
a
copy
of
the
reports
for
the
monthly
report
and
that
I'll
take
a
motion
to
approve
by
mr.
Bern
second
by
mr.
leer,
all
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed
same
sign.
Motion
carries
I'm
going
to
read
this
says:
Roger
I
apologize
for
not
being
able
to
attend
the
criminal
justice
committee
again
this
month.
Timing
hasn't
been
very
good
to
me
lately.
A
A
C
48
true
bills
returned
at
the
last
grand
jury.
As
you
know,
we
do
grand
jury
every
other
week.
We've
got
three
left
this
month.
We
are,
we
are
putting.
Mr.
Latham
was
just
telling
me
that
we've
been
there
late
for
grand
jury.
The
last
couple
times
we
start
at
1:00
grand
juries
go
until
five
o'clock
six
o'clock
some
days,
because
we
are
putting
60
cases
on
every
grand
jury.
C
As
far
as
the
felony
offenses
and
getting
them
the
grand
jury,
so
this
number
is
it's:
it's
a
high
I
mean
811.
It's
a
lot
of
cases,
that's
more
than
we
did
many
years
and
I'm
still
thinking
it's
going
to
be
somewhere
between
nine
hundred
to
a
thousand
five
years
and
that
impacts
the
public
defender's
office.
The
circuit,
clerk's
office,
probation
department,
all
law
enforcement
agencies,
because
they
have
to
come
and
testify
a
grand
jury
that
to
testify
to
preliminary
hearing.
C
So
it's
the
workload
is
certainly
there
for
all
offices
and
everyone
involved-
and
you
can
see
domestics
are
still
second
number
second
highest
felony-
that
we
file
those
numbers.
Every
month,
we've
got
more
going
on
the
docket,
so
we've
got
to
do
better
as
a
community
to
reduce
domestic
violence
in
our
neighborhoods
and
I.
Think
that
starts
by
supporting
Harbor
House
I
want
to
thank
people
that
supported
Harbor
House
in
during
domestic
violence
month.
But
we
all
know
it's
a
problem
year
round.
C
A
A
C
Last
thing
we
got
a
pretty
significant
grant
from
the
Illinois,
the
United
States
Department
of
Justice
we
applied
with
school
district
111.
It
brings
mental
health
training
to
every
staff.
Member
and
that's
you
know
your
school
bus
driver,
your
teachers,
your
principals,
admin
staff,
everyone
in
the
building,
so
that
they
can
identify
when
a
student's
going
through
a
mental
health
crises
and
how
to
respond
to
it.
C
It
also
provides
that
training
to
every
student
in
the
building
so
that
they
can
like
to
know
what
signs
to
watch
for
among
their
fellow
classmates
as
well
as
violence.
De-Escalation.
So
if
a
student
hears
that
something's
going
to
happen
or
maybe
see
something
on
social
media,
we're
teaching
the
students
what
to
do
and
giving
them
options
to
report
it
anonymously,
even
whether,
through
an
app
a
website,
a
hotline
just
any
way,
we
can
to
reduce
violence
in
the
schools
and
avert
some
type
of
very
serious
mental
health
crisis
that
is
gonna
for
year.
C
One
of
the
grant
it's
a
three
year
grant,
it's
almost
I,
think
300,000
or
close
to
it.
For
the
first
year,
it's
just
district
111
schools,
while
it's
rolled
out,
but
in
years
two
and
three
it'll
be
in
every
school
in
the
county.
So
we're
really
really
hopeful
that
this
we
can
make
some
strides
and
keeping
the
violence
down
in
the
schools.
Thank.
A
D
Basically,
we're
up
to
date
for
the
first
time
in
a
while,
where
we
got
the
October
date,
September
report
we've
broken
down
or
I've,
broken
down
the
delinquency
cases
versus
the
abuse
and
neglect
cases,
there's
two
types
of
juvenile
cases:
one
one
are
delinquency
which
is
the
regular
criminal
call
and
then
the
abuse
and
neglect
or
the
other
matters
regarding
DCFS.
That
way,
you
know
we
can't
just
lump
juvenile
together
in
one
thing
and
say
it's
the
same.
D
I
think
one
of
the
biggest
takeaways
is
the
fact
that
we
are
taking
all
more
cases
and
then
we're
resolving.
That's
obviously
it's
something
that
is
incumbent
upon
me
to
talk
to
my
staff
about
and
get
that
going.
I
received
a
jail
sheet
from
the
from
lieutenant
Schulz
regarding
length
of
custody,
I
think
our
longest
custody
defendant.
Excuse
me
it's
twenty
two
thousand
eight
hundred
sixty
four
days,
that's
about
a
month
old
data.
That
case
is
on
a
sentencing
track,
so
it
should
be
resolved
very
soon.
D
I
would
represent
that
the
average
not
the
average,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
people
there
with
800
days
in
jail
900
days
in
jail.
A
thousand
days
in
jail,
it's
terrible,
it's
terrible
for
the
defendant
for
the
client,
it's
terrible
for
the
jail,
it's
terrible
for
the
state's
attorney's
office,
and
that's
something
that's
going
to
be
looked
into
in
the
upcoming
months
other
than
that
Kirsten
Steve's
is
resigning
as
a
January
3rd.
With
the
help
of
the
county,
that's
additional
$20,000
I'm,
going
to
create
a
full
time
position
out
of
her
position.
D
Ultimately,
I
think
she
was
getting
paid,
30
karemera,
where
she's
getting
paid,
I,
think
33
or
34
thousand
dollars.
We're
gonna
create
a
full-time
position
which
is
actually
gonna,
save
the
county,
a
net
gain
money
because
the
starting
salary
of
the
new
employee
is
going
to
be
fifty
three
thousand
dollars,
so
it's
actually
I
mean
less
than
what
it
would
be
if
we
had
to
part-time
employees
and
as
I
stated
previously,
it's
my
you
know
a
firm
belief
that
one
full-time
person
is
much
more
productive
than
one
two
part-timers.
D
A
E
So
the
I
just
want
to
mention
the
part.
The
part
that
I
didn't
in
kind
of
cover
was
is
that
when,
when
he
does
lose
a
next
part,
timer
that
will
go
unreplaceable
to
route
to
replace
two
part-timers
with
a
full
timer,
so
that
was
part
of
this
agreement
was,
is
yeah
grab
what
you
can
right
now
we
needed
that
full
timer.
As
mr.
row
said,
we've
got
a
lot.
E
A
F
A
F
Quick
now
one
other
thing
I
have
is
that
we
received
some
good
news:
additional
good
news
from
the
state.
As
you
know,
our
salary
subsidy
was
increased
for
this
year
by
about
over
330,000
plus
we
got
another
200,000
for
some
additional
staff
for
pretrial,
and
then
we
received
I
think
it
was
two
weeks
ago
word
that
we
receive
another
140,000.
F
We
had
two
positions
in
our
Kinki
office
that
were
salary
subsidy.
They
received
$1,000
a
month,
so
12
grand
a
year
for
that
position
we
reached
out
to
a
OIC
because
they
had
some
money
available
and
said
we
move
those
into
grant
made,
which
are
fully
funded
positions,
so
they
agreed,
and
those
were
two
of
our
higher
positions
so
that
up
their
salary,
reimbursements
for
T
thousand
and
making
us
truly
fully
funded
for
the
first
time
in
my
twenty
five
plus
years
there.
So
so
it
was
a
good
thing.
So.
E
B
F
They've
reached
out
about
us
putting
juveniles
on
GPS
monitoring
which
we
have
in
the
past,
but
what
we
do
it
for
adults,
but
the
adults
are
self-pay.
So
the
issue
with
juveniles
was
the
judge
they're
not
going
to
be
self-pay
we'd
have
to
pay
for
it
eight
dollars
a
day.
Fifty
six
dollars
a
week.
You
know
I
believe
this
would
be
a
very
effective
tool.
F
G
F
G
A
C
The
issues
with
that
is,
you
know
when
it's
an
adult.
The
option
is
either
he
remains
in
custody
or
he's
released
with
the
GPS.
So
there's
an
incentive
there
for
him
to
pay
with
juveniles.
We
don't
really
have
that
option.
The
option
isn't
gonna,
be
detention
or
GPS.
It's
gonna
be
home
detention
without
GPS
or
home
detention
with
GPS.
So
if
they're
not
able
to
pay,
the
judge
is
gonna
put
them
on
home
detention
and
they're
on
home
detention.
C
H
C
C
If
the
parents
could
pay
if
they're
in
a
position
to
pay,
maybe
the
court
would
order
that
either
on
the
front
end
or
when
the
case
is
finally
disposed
of,
but
right
now
the
choices
we
have
are
either
home
detention
without
GPS
or
home
detention
with
GPS
and
with
the
shootings
in
the
city
I
think
we
we've
got
to
do
what
we
have
to
do
as
far
as
getting
these
kids
on
GPS.
So
we
know
where
they're
at
at
all
times
it's
just
a
bad
situation.
E
The
part,
the
part
that
I
kind
of
you
know
it
seems
logical
to
me
that
that
if
the,
if
the
state's
attorney
or
the
arresting
agency
were
to
say
to
the
judge
in
court,
we
would
prefer
to
have
GPS
monitoring
on
this
situation
for
the
juvenile.
That's
something
that
I
think
I
would
look
for
it.
I,
don't
know
if
you
agree
with
that
statement,
because
then
they're
basically
saying
we're
committed
to
either
assisting
in
this
or
helping
fund
this,
as
mr.
Rowe
said,
he
may
have
some
some
resources
to
put
towards
that.
E
I
think
it's
part
of
our
responsibility,
but
that's
why
I
thought
it'd
be
a
good
idea
to
bring
it
up
and
let
people
think
about
it
and
maybe
come
back
next
month
and
say.
Is
this
something
we
want
to
move
on
with
more
of
a
better
plan
idea
how
this
would
work
if
we
can
get
together
kind
of
offline
and
talk
about
the
mechanisms
yeah.
F
I
mean
I.
Think
again,
this
is
we
talk
about
the
incidence
going
on
in
the
city
right
now,
they're
shooting
stuff,
there's
only
effective
if
they're
on
in
the
system
with
us
already.
So,
if
individuals
are
involved
in
this,
what's
going
on
or
not
pending
with
us,
then
we
have
no
way
of
putting
them
on
GPS.
So
it's
not
gonna
right.
F
Whenever
said
the
situation,
but
I
think
you
know
it
would
help
go
a
long
way
in
helping
and
we
could
track,
and
we
can
you
know,
there's
active
systems,
there's
passive
systems
if
they
left
their
residence
or
a
certain
zone.
It
would
alert
us
right
away.
Alert
alert,
can
calm,
there's
other
passive
systems
where
we
get
there
in
the
morning
and
we
check
like
we
do
with
the
adults
and
see
where
they
went
and
follow
me
over
there
and
we
can
track
them
all.
F
E
I
What
I
do
have
to
make
a
statement
if
you
look
at
the
calls
for
building
a
detention
center,
you'll
find
out
well
that
$90
a
day
or
more
you're
talking
eight
and
working
in
the
school
system
for
the
twenty
five
years.
I
will
tell
you
this.
They
don't
read,
nothing
can
happen
to
them.
They
know
if
you
rested
that
you've
got
to
release
them
to
a
parent,
and
we
know
what
that's
going
to
do.
I
Most
parents
have
to
work
the
other
parents
that
don't
work
kind
of
need
parenting
skills
because
they're
trying
to
be
friends
to
their
kids.
This
is
the
reality.
So
when
you
look
at
the
fact
that
they
don't
think,
nothing
can
happen
to
them,
they
get
away
when
you,
when
we
take
the
lead
and
let
them
know,
there's
a
consequence
for
the
action.
I
think
you're
curtail
a
lot
of
this
stuff
most.
I
Let
me
see
the
adults
run
run
their
criminal
activity
through
the
youth
because
they
know
they're
less
vulnerable
to
detention.
So
I
agree
for
the
small
cost
of
eight.
We
need
to
look
at
it.
I
do
also
agree
with
Willie
that
we
need
to
have
some
type
of
numbers
before
us,
so
that
way
we
can
make
a
more
intelligent
decision
and
make
sure
it's
cost
effective
as
far
as
that's
concerned,
but
I
do
believe
that
is
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
F
F
F
Obviously,
they
should
be
taken
back
into
custody,
but
then
we
start
the
same
process.
How
long
do
we
keep
them
there?
How
long
they're
gonna
stay
in
custody
and
that's
what
I'm
adults
to
little
easier
with
that
you're
back
in
jail,
but
juveniles
it's
a
little
different
there
they're,
really
not
wanting
to
keep
them
in
custody.
Why
they
do
it?
Also,
if.
A
A
C
C
I
said,
if
it
showed
it
there,
I
would
hope
that
that
information
like
that
would
would
encourage
a
judge
to
maybe
you
know,
could
have
taken
back
into
custody,
detain
them
now.
The
problem
is
even
when
they're
convicted
of
crimes
I
mean
serious
offenses.
In
my
opinion,
what
are
they
looking
at
in
ID
JJ
120
days
180
days?
Maybe.
F
H
F
It's
possible,
but
I
do
think
it's
very
effective,
as
I
think
I
said,
those
guys
are
out
checking
on
them
working
with
local
police
checking
on
these
juveniles
all
the
time,
but
there's
there's
gaps
in
that
even
with
GPS.
You
still
need
people
checking
on
them
because
there's
other
compliance
issues
that
we're
checking
so,
but
it
would
be
very,
very
helpful.
Mr.
A
J
C
Mean
mr.
wheeler
would
know,
but
I
would
think
that
there'd
have
to
be
some
sort
of
either
appropriation
or
amendment
to
the
budget,
to
give
you
the
funding
to
do
that.
If
we're
looking
at
3,000
a
year
times,
potentially
10
kids
$30,000
at
most
I
would
I
would
think
I.
Don't
know
that
you
have
that
extra
money
in
your
budget
absolutely.
F
A
F
E
E
E
E
A
F
Layton,
lastly,
just
we
had
our
drug
court
option
anal
drug
adoption
on
the
October
29th
I,
don't
have
the
numbers
yet,
but
it
went
very
well
there.
We
don't
have
all
the
numbers,
I
should
say,
but
it
was
a
very
well
attended
event
and
I
appreciate
it.
A
lot
of
people
here
were
there
or
donated
money,
and
we
really
appreciate
it
and
hopefully,
next
month,
I
should
have
what
what
they
cleared
so
so.
Thank
you
good.
A
K
Not
really
everybody
got
an
electronic
copy
except
mr.
long
yeah,
but
I
just
provided
him
a
paper
copy,
so
there's
really
nothing
out
of
the
ordinary
on
this
this
month,
things
are
still
our
local
numbers
still
high
or
out
of
counting
numbers.
Staying
consistent,
our
transports
are
fairly
steady
and
our
fatals
continue
to
rise.
A
K
So
so
that
presentation,
my
the
presentation,
it's
the
state
of
the
county
breakfast,
which
I
plan
to
show
there's
this
committee
actually
I
thought
about
it
further
and
figured
I'd
wait
till
the
end
of
the
year.
So
the
numbers
would
be
accurate
instead
of
estimate
so
and
after
last
night,
I'm
sure
everybody's
tired
of
the
state
of
the
county
stuff.
So
we'll
just
