Description
Criminal Justice Committee Meeting 12/9/2020 7:30 AM
A
C
A
A
E
Good
deal
because
I've
got
computer
issues
this
morning.
The
first
thing
I
want
to
do
is
welcome
all
the
new
county
board,
members
that
are
on
the
team,
and
I
would
invite
anyone
that
would
like
to
come
and
see
the
office
and
see
what
we
do
and
how
we
do
it.
I
that
would
be
a
wonderful
thing.
I
offer
that,
usually
to
everyone
that
wants
to
be
there.
E
F
E
We
still
have
another
month
to
go
and
then
the
harrison
harris
collection
report
there's
two
different
reports.
They
are
the
third
party
that
the
outside
party
that
vendor
that
assists
us.
So
when
we
collect
the
money
or
when
the
court,
when
the
cases
go
to
court-
and
we
don't
collect
the
money
before
like
a
certain
time-
the
judges
set
a
date
and
then,
if
they
don't,
if
the
parties
don't
pay
by
the
certain
date,
then
the
file
is
automatically
lifted
electronically
and
sent
to
harrison
harris.
E
I
think
the
state
uses
a
different
title,
but
that's
our
nickname
when
we
refer
to
it
through
the
clerks
association
and
they
are
able
to
hold
payments
on
people's
state
income
taxes.
So
starting
in
january
we
will
be
loading
files
to
them
and
then,
when
people
are
doing
their
taxes,
we
end
up
collecting
an
extra
amount
of
money
in
2015
was
the
first
year.
E
E
We
discontinued
sending
the
felonies
because
a
lot
of
times
those
people
are
in
jail
for
a
you
know
or
in
prison
for
quite
a
while
and
then
when
they
get
out.
They
of
course
have
to
get
jobs
and
try
to
you
know,
get
back
into
society.
So
we
kind
of
took
those
numbers
out
of
the
out
of
the
mix
per
se,
because
these
are
more
accurate
cases
that
we
would
be
able
to
collect
on.
E
Sure
so
harrison
harris
what
happens
is
if
there's
a
traffic
ticket
and
we'll
just
use
the
round
number
100.
If
they
owe
the
county
a
hundred
dollars,
then
when
harrison
harris
is
involved.
In
the
case
we
add
on
30
percent
to
that
ticket,
so
that
30
percent
is
what
harrison
harris
gets.
That
was
a
percentage
that
was
created
by
the
legislature
for
the
assistance
to
do
that
work.
Now,
the
state's
attorney
previously
in
our
county
did
that,
but
they
did
a
cost
benefit
analysis
and
that
30
percent
for
everything
that
we
do.
E
It
costs
more
than
the
30
for
us
to
do
this
kind
of
work.
So
it
is
more
cost
effective
to
have
a
third
party
vendor
handle
that
part
of
our
business,
and
then
we
can
just
continue
doing
court
business
and
whatever
so
harrison
harris.
They
are
attorneys.
That's
a
you
know
it's
a
legal
company
and
they
do
a
great
job.
They're
involved
with
most
of
the
counties
up
in
the
upper
part
of
the
state.
F
Sandy,
madame
clerk,
I
want
to
ask
you:
is
there
ever?
Is
there
ever
any
review
of
assets
at
all
some
of
the
folks
that
owe
us
money?
Might
that
be
something
that
you
could
interface
with
harrison
harris
with
respect
to
assessing
what,
if
I
was
a
bad
guy
and
convicted
etc?
You
know
I
I
have
a
bank
account
savings
accounts,
credit
union,
money,
property,
etc.
F
G
H
E
They
do
collect
money
through
their
company
as
well.
So
they
that's
when
we
have
to
compare
our
reports
and
then
with
the
money
that
we
send
them
and
then
the
money
that
they
send
us,
that's
you
know
so
like
if
you
look
at
our
disbursement
form
the
paid
the
three
page
with
all
the
fund
line
items.
If
you
look
down
at
harrison
harris
for
the
month
of
november,
we
sent
them
6898.21,
and
that
was
85
cases
that
we
collected
money
on.
E
Then
I
don't
have
the
collection.
Like
I
don't
know
today,
I
don't
have
the
number
of
what
we
received
from
them
in
a
check,
and
I
can
get
a
report
for
you
on
that.
If
you
wish
so
then
on
the
open,
inventory
analysis
end
of
november,
that
is
down
at
the
bottom.
You
see
the
grand
total,
so
we've
turned
over
a
million
dollars,
a
million
84
595
just
this
year
and
every
year
in
gray.
E
E
H
E
And
so
then,
since
mr
rowe
became
state's
attorney,
he
did
start
a
new
another
collection
court
call
and
those
people
they've
gone.
They've
made
an
agreement
with
the
the
judge
and
they
are
promising
to
pay
every
month
a
certain
amount
of
money
and
that's
what
that
report
is
and
then,
if
they
don't
pay,
if
they
default,
then
the
state's
attorney's
office
has
a
little
bit
of
a
you
know:
leverage
as
far
as
doing
a
petition
for
rule
or
you
know
keeping
them
in
court.
So
we
do.
If
there
is
a
we
always
refer.
E
E
But
the
legislature
keeps
changing
the
rules
too,
and
they've
also
done
like
in
the
last
couple
years
where,
if
people
can't
afford
to
pay,
they
can
petition
the
court
to
have
the
court
fees
waived,
and
you
know,
while
that's
helpful
to
the
person.
That's
not
helpful
to
this.
You
know
this
part
of
the
system.
So,
if
that's,
if
that's
helpful,.
H
That's
interesting
and
we
should
talk
to
our
lobbyists
about
all
the
different
changes
like
you
were
saying
that
that
that
you
have
to
work
around
to
tell
the
legislators
that
that
does
affect
us.
So
we
do
have
a
lobbyist
and
we
just
approve
that
he
gets
paid
again
so
definitely
reach
out
to
him
and
talk
to
him
about
that
good
deal.
E
E
Their
part
fixed
all
the
different
fixes,
every
time
that
they
create.
You
know
the
patches
for
the
integration.
Then
we
test
it
and
then
we
find
where
there's
errors,
and
then
we
send
it
back
or
back
and
forth.
We
have
a
meeting
friday.
We
had
a
meeting
last
week,
but
not
all
the
parties
were
there.
So
there's
a
meeting
friday-
and
I
will
know
more
after
friday,
where
we
are.
I
have
a
new
person
in
the
department
in
my
office
that
will
be
working.
E
F
E
E
C
You
have
our
grand
jury
report.
Those
numbers
do
not
accurately
reflect
the
number
of
case
filings,
because
those
only
include
felonies
that
have
gone
through
the
grand
jury
and,
as
everyone
knows,
grand
jury
was
shut
down
for
a
long
period
this
year,
even
now
we're
back
on
a
reduced
schedule.
Usually
it
was
every
other
week.
We've
been
doing
it
once
a
month.
So
that's
why
those
numbers
appear
to
be
low,
but
we're
still
charging
the
cases
they're
just
going
through
a
different
process
which
is
called
preliminary
hearing
and
those
are
done
in
the
courtroom.
C
And
again
I
can't
thank
public
defender's
office
enough
for
working
with
us
on
scheduling
the
preliminary
hearings,
because
if
we
didn't
have
that
cooperation
it
would,
it
would
probably
be
a
disaster.
To
be
quite
honest,
so
thank
you,
ed
and
everyone
in
your
office
for
continuing
to
work
with
us
on
that
at
january's
meeting
you
will
have
year
end
totals
for
2020,
and
that
will
tell
you
the
number
of
misdemeanors
we
filed
the
number
of
felonies
and
how
those
are
broken
down
into
categories
on
the
on
the
collection
matter.
C
I
would
just
say
you
know,
missions,
comments
toward
the
end
there
about
things
changing
which
are
impacting
the
county's
ability
to
collect
those
dollars
and
what
miss
peter
said.
You
know
that
that's
that's
the
impact
of
a
bad
policy
in
springfield.
You
know
hitting
local
communities
the
last
our
current
governor
and
our
prior
governor
cut
fees
and
fines
across
the
board,
and
what
that
does
is
that
puts
the
burden
of.
C
That
puts
the
burden
of
funding
the
system
back
onto
the
taxpayers
instead
of
the
people
that
are
using
the
court
system,
those
committing
the
crimes
as
a
result,
by
losing
those
fines,
we
have
lost
teen
court,
our
child
advocacy
center-
that's
where
they
do
interviews
of
children
who
have
been
victims
of
abuse
or
sexual
assault.
They've
lost
a
huge
chunk
of
their
funding,
so
it's
had
real
quality
of
life
impact
on
our
community.
C
So
I
hope
that
you
know
our
new
state
rep,
our
state
senator
and
anyone
else
can
hopefully
bring
some
relief
to
that
and
get
some
of
that
funding
back
for
those
programs.
We
we
are
doing
the
best
we
can
to
collect.
I
think,
if
you
look
at
the
numbers
from
the
call
that
our
office
has
been
doing,
which
has
been
with
desiree
gore
and
jody
trudeau,
nancy
nicholson,
john,
they
they
go
to
court.
They
try
to
collect
what
we
can
we're,
probably
averaging
about
120
000
a
year.
C
C
C
Yeah,
so
that'll
obviously
never
get
paid
unless
he
wins
the
lotto
and
we
can
somehow
grab
that
and
those
are
not
amounts
of
money
that
you
can
ever
just
take
off.
The
books
like
a
corporation
could
just
you
know,
declare
those
as
a
loss
or
wash
them
off
their
books
and
get
back
to
a
zero
balance.
We
can't
do
that,
so
I
I
would.
C
I
would
caution
you
on
determining
the
success
of
the
program
by
seeing
if
the
overall
number
is
going
down,
because
in
fact
the
number
is
probably
going
up
as
new
debt
is
added
every
day.
I
think
we
have
to
look
at
how
much
have
we
collected
internally?
How
much
is
harrison
harris
collected
and
compare
that,
maybe
to
numbers
from
before
they
were
engaged
and
that
that
would
probably
be
a
better
indicator
of
success,
at
least
in
my
opinion.
F
Yeah,
commissioners,
I
would
call
your
attention
to
the
offenses
and
going
down
and
I
can't
remember
if
it
was
the
sheriff's
department
if
it
was
nancy
or
somebody.
I
remember
nicholson
mentioned
the
impact
of
covet
and
I
know
you
have
a
relationship
with
harbor
house,
but
if
you
go
down
and
take
a
look
at
felony
domestic
battery
and
you
go
over
to
the
city
of
kankakee,
which
I
represent,
part
of
is,
I
think
somebody
indicated,
and
I
can't
recall
that
there's
a
correlation
with
the
pandemic,
you
know
with
domestic
violence.
C
There
is
actually
when
the
covid
pandemic
first
hit
and
things
started
to
shut
down.
We
were
bracing
for
a
huge
increase
in
hotline
calls
at
harbor
house.
They
just
didn't
come
and
then
you
get
a
month
into
the
lockdown
and
suddenly
we
were
just
swamped
with
calls
intakes
at
the
shelter
and
cases
coming
through
our
system.
C
The
majority
of
cases
were
getting
brought
to
us
now
for
charges
are
domestic
in
nature,
and
I
don't
know
what
else
you
could
correlate
it
with
other
than
the
pandemic
people
being
stuck
in
their
homes,
having
less
opportunities
to
really
go
out
and
maybe
distance
themselves
from
the
abuser,
but
yeah,
I
think
across
the
board,
and
it
has
only
been
the
city
of
kankakee
that
has
seen
that
impact.
It's
it's
been
not
only
county-wide,
but
you
know
the
national
trends
show
the
same
thing.
C
We
discussed
this
at
our
harbor
house
meetings
every
month
and
mr
it's
definitely.
It
was
troubling
before
the
pandemic,
because
domestic
violence
is
a
big
problem
in
our
county.
It
was
troubling
before,
but
it's
especially
increased
now
we're
you
know
we're
trying
we're
getting
our
victim.
Witness
advocates
to
reach
out
to
the
survivors.
We
have
them
up
until
the
last
couple
weeks
when
the
numbers
really
started
to
surge
from
covet.
We
had
a
new
thing
where
we
were
going
out
into
the
community,
so
people
didn't
feel
comfortable
coming
to
the
courthouse
for
services.
C
C
Same
thing,
you
know
he's
been
working
on
all
of
those
efforts
he's
been
helping
me
with
the
project
with
riverside
hospital
to
get
therapy
into
the
courthouse
for
kids,
who
are
in
the
system
continuing
to
help
recruit
mentors
for
our
mentoring
program
connecting
our
office
with
efforts
at
the
library.
So
people
can
use
the
library
after
hours
complete
diversion
program
if
they
don't
have
a
computer.
I
couldn't
be
more
pleased
with
his
work.
A
I
C
So
our
program
was
funded
through
court,
fines
and
fees,
and
when
that
funding
was
lost,
the
program
was
closed.
Team
court
has
its
own
board.
It's
not
something
run
through
the
state's
attorney's
office.
We
did
just
partner
with
district
111
in
submitting
a
grant
for
the
r3
funding
to
see.
If
we
can
bring
back
a
team
court,
it
would
have
a
few
different
components
to
it
than
than
the
original
one
did
would
and
it
would
be
available
to
kids.
Obviously,
county-wide
we've
done
that
I'll
pass.
A
J
C
K
C
K
L
L
We
have
been
the
courthouse
has
been
on
shutdown
since
november
8th,
I
believe,
and
it's
going
to
go
through
the
end
of
the
month.
I'm
sure
we've
all
heard
rumors
as
far
as
what
may
or
may
not
happen
come
january
1st
I
do
not
know,
and
I'm
not
par.
I'm
part
of
that
conversation,
but
I
am
not
you
know.
Chief
judge
kramer
is
in
the
position
to
make
that
decision.
L
Excuse
me
just
on
an
aside
couple
quick
things:
we
had
three
people
test
positive
for
covey
in
my
office,
they've
all
gotten
through
it
and
have
now
tested
negative
and
so
we're
we
dealt
with
that
and
hopefully
that
will
be
the
end
of
it
for
for
for
a
while
at
least
a
couple.
Other
things
excuse
me.
L
I
just
got
tested
last
week,
so
I
was
negative
as
of
last
week
and
I'm
sure
I
am
now
I
don't
know.
What's
going
on
this
morning,
I
had
to
let
one
of
my
assistants
go.
He
just
wasn't
performing
the
way
I
like
to.
With
the
help
of
chief
judge
kramer
chairman
wheeler,
the
county
board.
I
was
able
to
get
an
additional
20
000
to
hire
a
full-time
person.
The
previous
person
was
part-time.
L
That
person
hired
that
person.
He
just
passed.
The
bar
he's
a
local
local
guy
chavez
rosenthal.
He
grew
up
in
kankakee.
He
went
to
northwestern
law.
School
and
he'll,
be
he'll,
be
sworn
in
on
january
14th.
So
I'm
very
happy
about
that
another
one
of
my
new
hires
gina
jones,
who
is
also
grew
up
in
kankakee.
L
She
passed
the
bar
last
week.
I
guess
earlier
this
week
last
week
and
should
be
sworn
in
january
14th
also,
so
my
office
will
be
in
a
pretty
stable
position
as
of
january
14th
and
I'll
be
reassigning
the
cases
you
know
to
them
and
increasing
their
their
case
load
and
hopefully
I'll
take
off
reduce
caseload
on
my
other
assistants
and
hopefully
that'll
be
a
good
mechanism
whereby
we
can
get
get
this
backlog
addressed
or
at
least
started.
L
Just
briefly,
you
know,
as
far
as
the
gym
touched
on
the
preliminary
hearing
that's
been
going
on
within
the
county,
along
with
mr
rowe
and
his
assistants,
who
have
done
a
great
job,
coordinating
and
also
thank
the
sheriff
and
the
clerk,
because
this
puts
a
lot
of
pressure
on
them.
We're
calling
cases
quicker
we're
calling
more
cases.
These
people
are
usually
in
custody,
so
we
have
to
fast
track
them
and
it
logistically
just
creates
a
problem
that
that
the
sheriff
and
the
clerk
have
been
dealing
with
quite
effectively.
L
F
Hunter,
you
know
having
been
on
this
governmental
board
since
july.
15Th,
I've
always
stressed
diversity
and
not
appointing
any
accusing
finger
at
all
but
ed.
The
report
you
just
gave
with
respect
to
a
recent
hire.
I
I
can
relate
to
that.
My
my
nephew,
just
graduated
well
may
8th
from
loyola
university,
and
I
think
it
was
a
week
ago
monday.
F
He
got
word
that
he
passed
the
bar
on
first
try,
but
you
just
indicated
that
you
hired
a
young
man
by
the
name,
mr
rosenthal,
and
I
wanted,
and
you
articulated
that
you
and
and
and
andy
wheeler
were
successful
in
recruiting
him.
That's
loc.
We
have
a
lot
of.
We
have
a
bastion
of
local
talent
in
can
key
county
out
of
the
109
982
people
we
have
in
this
county.
F
We
have
people
with
credentials,
commitment
and
and
built
in
a
lot
of
abilities,
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
you
guys
and
kudos
to
you
guys
for
taking
the
initiative
to
recruit,
identify
people
who
have
the
expertise
and
have
the
commitment
who
were
you
know
raised
in
this
particular
county
and
have
come
back
and
want
to
serve
the
community
and
I'm
going
to
judge.
I
want
to
just
say
thank
you
and,
and
I
appreciate
you,
your
efforts.
L
D
Tom,
I
too
want
to
welcome
you
new
members
to
the
committee
and
please
contact
me
anytime.
You
have
any
questions.
Let
me
answer
anything
regarding
the
report.
I
have
nothing
really
to
add
just
basically
that
our
staff
continues
to
do
a
great
job
making
and
maintaining
contact
the
proper
level
of
contact,
and
it's
it's
not
been
easy.
The
key
office
was
hit
pretty
hard
with
kobe.
D
K
Mr
wheeler,
thanks
just
wondering
about
your
assessment
of
detention
days
at
river
valley.
I'm
just
curious.
If
you
you,
you
see
anything,
it
looks
pretty
steady,
you
know,
but
I'm
just
looking
at
you
know,
assessing
over
this
year.
Last
year
it
seems
like
we've
got
a
pretty
consistent
number.
Would
you
say
that's
a
fair
assessment.
D
That
is
fair,
and
actually
I
was
going
to
speak
to
that
because,
similar
to
what's
happening
with
the
adult
population,
the
sheriff's
discussed
several
times,
juveniles
being
sentenced
to
the
illinois
department
of
corrections,
illinois,
juvenile
justice,
we're
sitting
in
temporary
detention
for
about
45
days
on
average,
before
they're,
transported
or
accepted
by
eoc,
and
this
is
costly
if
we
were
paying
a
deal
or
this
doesn't
impact
us
directly
because
of
our
current
agreement
and
our
numbers
are
lower.
Our
daily
population
is
low.
M
D
Well,
like
drug
court,
obviously
there's
a
drug
free
inc
which
does
a
lot.
It's
a
private
board,
fundraising
board
that
doesn't
have
to
raise
money
to
provide
services,
but
drug
court
like
regular
probation
and
is
impacted
by
our
our
collection
rate,
has
plummeted,
especially
as
a
result
and
drug
court's
affected
by
this,
because
there's
a
fee
assessed
to
defendants
since
we've
moved
closer
to
no
cash
bale.
D
Since
the
double
reform
act
went
into
play
in
2018,
we've
seen
our
collection
rate
in
our
office
plummet
about
40
plus
percent
in
the
last
couple
years.
So
that's
impacting
drug
court.
It's
impacting
regular
probation.
Everybody
permission
has
assessed
a
monthly
fee
normally
if
they
can
pay
it,
we
collect
that.
That
goes
to
run
our
operations.
D
Yeah
we
receive
a
grant
through
samsa,
it's
a
rather
several
hundred
thousand
dollars,
your
grant,
which
is
in
a
huge
role
in
that's
more
on
the
treatment
side
of
the
court,
providing
residential
placement
management
and
things
like
that.
But
yes,
it's
a
huge
part
and
if
we
didn't
have
our
friend,
we
didn't
have
that
grant
and
I
hope
the
grant
continues
beyond.
D
I
think
it's
done
in
a
two
years
from
now,
but
if
we
can
get
it
extended,
if
we
see
that
soft
money
disappear,
it's
going
to
impact
drug
court,
which
is
a
very
successful
program.
It's
going
to
impact
a
lot.
I
mean
because
we're
relying
based
on
that
because
we
can't
we're
not
collecting
the
fees
locally
to
to
support
it.
K
I
K
K
N
N
So,
first
of
all,
as
as
everybody
else
has
done
with
the
new
board
members,
I'd
like
to
say,
welcome
and
would
also
like
to
invite
anybody,
including
existing
board
members
for
a
tour
of
our
jail
or
a
ride-along
to
let
you
all
know
what
we
do
on
a
daily
basis,
certainly
welcome
to
do
that
at
any
time.
Just
give
us
a
call,
and
we
will
make
those
arrangements
so
looking
forward
to
working
with
you.
N
N
N
N
One
of
the
reasons,
obviously,
is
the
only
department
of
corrections
who
for
a
while,
was
not
taking
anybody,
even
though
they
were
required
to
by
law,
but
they
chose
not
to
for
whatever
reason
the
governor
wants
us
to
enforce
all
his
laws,
but
if
he
violates
one
on
his
own,
that's
okay,
I
guess
so.
Nonetheless,
we
have
about
26
right
now,
waiting
to
go
to
the
illinois
department
of
corrections,
and
that's
we've
been
waiting
on
that
since
november
4th.
N
N
No,
no
that's
still
in
litigation,
it's
still
going
through
the
process.
As
most
of
you
know,
the
sheriff's
102
sheriffs
in
the
state
of
illinois
sued
the
governor,
along
with
thousands
of
other
people
who
sued
the
governor-
and
he
continually
refers
to
those
people-
a
snake
oil
salesman,
but
there
are
legitimate
issues
out
there
that
he
refuses
to
deal
with
and
we'll
continue
to
do
our
job
as
best
we
can.
But
I
think
it's
important
to
keep
this
board
advised
as
to
what's
actually
going
on
in
springfield.
N
I
believe
it's
about
hundred
and
four
thousand
dollars
for
housing
from
the
day
that
the
initial
executive
order
came
out
back
in
march.
I
think
it
was
march
26th
and
the
executive
order
that
allowed
us
to
or
doc
to
take
inmates
from
county
jails
was,
I
believe,
august
4th.
So
it's
all
those
numbers
from
march
26
through
august
4th
and
I
believe
it's
right
around
304
thousand
dollars.
N
We
believe
that
inmate
medical
care
is
important
and
we
want
these
individuals
when
they
come
into
our
place,
to
leave
better
than
they
were
health-wise
sworn
on
the
sworn
side.
Our
accidents
are
down,
our
citations
are
up,
our
warnings
are
up,
calls
for
service
are
up
and
the
better
news
is
fatals
for
the
year
are
down
significantly
that's
a
good
thing.
Obviously
one
is
too
many.
N
N
Our
housing
is
down,
our
salary
reimbursement
is
down
and
our
other
inmate
revenue
is
down.
If
you
see
the
number
four
under
section
three
other
inmate
revenue
that
includes
the
arrestee
medical
fund,
it
includes
bond
fees
which
are
a
fee
that
anybody
who
post
bond
at
the
jail
pays
an
additional
fee
that
is
down
our
booking
fees,
are
down.
N
N
N
F
M
N
Yeah,
thank
you,
yeah.
That
is
still
well.
Obviously,
not
many
schools
are
in
session
no
yeah,
so
we
we
really
haven't
done
a
whole
lot
with
that
coverage
out
in
pembroke.
We
haven't
hired
because
we
didn't
want
to
spend
the
money,
even
though
it
would
have
been
minimal,
but
we
just
didn't
feel
like
at
that
point.
We
didn't
hey.
We
had
a
place
out
there,
so
we
didn't,
we
didn't.
We
haven't
hired
him
yet
yeah.
F
Okay,
let
me
just
say
this
further:
you
know
that.
Thank
you.
You
know
for
providing
escort
for
the
national
champs
inside
junior
football,
and
you
know,
what's
really
amazing-
is
that
when
you
take
a
look
at
all
these
different
department
heads,
you
know
they're
on
duty,
24,
7,
but
they're
other
ancillary
and
external
activities.
They're
involved
in.
F
I
know
that
you're
involved
in
youth
activities
to
the
east
and
pembroke
and
and
points
west,
and
we
had
a
lot
of
feedback,
positive
feedback
with
respect
to
your
services
when
they,
when
they
came
from
out
of
state.
Additionally,
I'm
not
sure
if
you
guys
are
well
aware
of
the
fact
that
that
the
naacp
and
the
sheriff's
department
have
assembled,
and
I
capital
a
assembled
law
enforcement,
not
only
in
this
county
in
terms
of
all
the
local
jurisdictions.
F
You
know,
police
chiefs
rank
and
file
of
personnel
in
law
enforcement,
even
now
he's
reached
out
to
iroquois,
county
state,
police
and
other
entities.
In
fact,
people
from
even
out
of
the
county
and
other
regions
of
the
state
who
are
working
together
on
the
different
initiatives
in
terms
of
enhancing
the
relationship
between
community
large
c
and
law
enforcement,
it's
working
and
as
you
you
have
indicated,
it
should
be
a
model
nationally.
F
But
I
you
know,
as
long
as
I've
been
in
public
service,
I've
never
seen
the
amalgamation
of
the
law
enforcement
community
coming
together
with
a
goal
of
providing
quality
law
enforcement
services
and
enhancing
the
relationship
with
their
respective
community
residents,
and
I
just
want
to
mention
that.
That's
that's
good
stuff!
Thank
you.
I
On
the
screen
that
I
needed,
this
was
a
question
on
the
just
report.
I
noticed
there
was
a
in
your
year
of
of
fiscal
year,
16
and
17.
in
that
mma
telephone
fees
I
saw
it
was
in
94
or
63.
Then
it
dropped
dramatically
for
about
a
couple
of
years
and
then
it
kind
of
stabilized
out
of
you
know
fiscal
18-19
and
1920.
Was
there.
N
N
So
obviously
there
are
people
out
there
who
who
think
that
all
the
phone
calls
from
somebody
in
jail
should
be
free
and
then
there's
others
that
say
if
they're
in
custody
and
they're
making
calls
the
jail
should
get
some
revenue
where
the
county
should
get
some
revenue
from
those
phone
calls,
because
we
we're
paying
people
to
I
mean
we
have
costs
associated
with
housing,
so
the
fcc
rules
go
back
and
forth.
In
fact,
there's
one
out
there
right
now
that
I
think
they're
going
to
vote
on
whenever
they
whenever
they
get
together.
I
N
N
I
A
I
N
On
all
right
vehicles,
vehicles
realizing
that
you
know
we
are
in
a
position
financially,
that
vehicles
are
going
to
be
difficult
to
share.
We
realize
that,
but
I
just
want
to
let
this
committee
know
that
we
are
looking
at
some
options
we
do
have.
You
know
one
of
the
things
about
this
program
that
we've
and
we
go
through
this
periodically
where
we
get
on
a
vehicle
program,
and
we
want
to
keep
our
vehicles
up
to
date.
We
want
to
keep
them
safe
and
then
money
hits
in
this
case
covet
hit.
N
N
N
On
the
other
hand,
though,
corrections
is
a
little
bit
different
story,
those
vehicles,
obviously
with
transports
we
run
those
vehicles
a
lot
and
especially
to
chicago
now.
The
one
thing
mr
snipes
alluded
to
it.
It's
changed
a
little
bit
because
we
didn't
run
to
chicago
quite
as
much
so.
The
mileage
we
put
on
our
vehicles
kind
of
slowed
a
little
bit,
but
we
still
have
vehicles
with
well
over
100
000
miles
on
them.
N
A
A
N
N
We
have
literally
had
two
jail
inspections
from
two
different
entities.
In
the
last
three
weeks,
we
had
a
jail
inspection
from
the
company
called
nakamoto
who
contracts
with
ice
and
they
inspect
us
every
year,
and
it
was
of
all
weeks.
It
was
thanksgiving
week
from
monday
through
wednesday,
which
I
we
didn't
ask.
N
The
office
of
detention
oversight
is
actually
a
branch
of
ice,
so
so
you've
got
an
inspection
from
somebody
who
is
part
of
ice.
If
you
will
and
then
somebody
who's
not
and
quite
frankly,
the
people
with
ice,
the
the
office
of
detention
oversight
is
actually
a
tougher
inspection
than
the
nakamoto
inspection,
the
the
contracting.
So
I
I
can
tell
you
that
things
went
very
well.
N
The
one
thing
that
we
one
thing
that
we
don't
want
with
inspections
are
what
they
call
deficiencies.
In
other
words,
your
jail
is
deficient
at
something
I
can
tell
you
that
we
had
one
deficiency
with
nakamoto
and
ironically,
as
we
were
going
through
the
closeout
phone
conference
with
with
all
the
inspectors
on
the
phone,
the
deficiency
was
that
we
did
not
have
a
log
to
document
the
water
temperature
daily
for
showers.
N
N
So
out
of
all
these-
and
I
don't
know
how
many
pages
there
are,
but
out
of
all
those
when
we
have
one
deficiency
for
not
having
a
log
to
document
the
temperature
of
our
showers,
pretty
happy
and
credit
to
the
jail
staff
and
the
jail
administration
and
and
all
that
they
do
every
day
to
do
that
again.
These
are
things
that
you
know
we
do
every
day
and
and
nobody
likes
inspections.
N
We
don't
like
them
any
more
than
anybody
else,
but
the
one
thing
that
they
do
the
inspections
do.
Is
they
make
us
better,
not
just
for
ice,
but
for
everybody,
because
everybody
who
is
in
our
custody
benefits
from
these
standards,
so
they
make
us
better
as
a
staff.
They
make
us
better
as
an
organization
and
it
it
makes
for
better
housing.
If
you
will,
for
everybody,
not
just
ice
detainees,.
F
Can
really
see
that
so
out
of
all
those
standards,
which
are
I'm
sure,
really
quite
comprehensive,
yeah
only
one
item
that
they
they
saddened
you
on.
Yes,
how
might
you
be
able
to
share
with
the
general
public,
especially
with
some
entities,
who
shall
remain
nameless
in
terms
of
what
the
findings
were
and
I'm
sure
that
the
plan
of
correction
on
that
temperature
of
the
water
is
already
fixed.
N
F
N
F
N
N
We
could
I
mean,
I
guess
you
know
some
some
will
say
you
know
some
out,
there
will
say:
hey
it's
you're
doing
your
job,
which
is
true,
that's
what
we're
doing
we're
doing
our
job,
but
you
know
we
do
get
criticized
and
again
you
know.
Sometimes
the
criticism
may
be
valid.
I
mean
we're,
not
perfect,
I
don't
believe
anybody
is
and
we
make
mistakes
just
like
anybody
else,
but
we
try
to
eliminate
them
and
try
not
to
make
the
same
ones
twice,
but.
F
You
made
yourself
and
the
chairman
have
made
themselves
available
for
the
public
to
is
not
inquisition,
but
you
know
pose
questions
to
you
regarding
the
county
operations
and
and
your
your
domain.
So
all
I'm
saying
to
you
is
that
the
information-
you
know,
facts
don't
change,
and
I
always
tell
folks
that,
and
I
think
that
information
needs
to
be
promulgated
to
the
general
public.
N
Yeah
I
mean
we've,
we
try
to
make
ourselves
available.
I
mean
I,
you
know
anybody
that
wants
and
I've
I've
reached
out
to
people
before
who
have
questioned
or
been
critical,
and
you
know
we
have
nothing
to
hide.
I
mean
there's
nothing
that
we
have
to
hide
like.
I
said
you
may
not
agree
with
what
we're
doing.
You
may
not
agree
with
how
we
do
it,
but
we
have
nothing
to
hide
simple.
As
that,
mr.
L
I
Exactly
but
with
that
being
said,
when
I
worked
at
shapiro,
we,
I
think,
became
the
first
accredited
in
the
state
and
I
think
it
was
almost
a
nation
getting
a
accreditation
on
mental
health
and
to
me
invest
the
when
you
are
being.
I
don't
call
them
low
in
governmental
investigations
when
you
go
through
that,
it's
almost
like
an
accreditation,
so
it
speaks
volumes
when
your
people
are
what
I
call
sharpened
by
the
acts
of
of
of
of
these
individuals
that
come
in
and
investigate.
I
But
when
you
hold
up
that
book
versus
the
regular
jail
book,
that's
the
one
that
I
wanted
to
show
the
the
actual
one
of
just
the
normal
jail.
If
you
look
at
those
regulations
versus
the
ones
you
have
to
follow
for
ice,
I
I
somehow
think
in
your
office
because
they
have
to
come
up
to
all
these
regulations
that
in
the
norm
it
benefits
all
in
the
process,
because
you
want
to
continue
to
keep
up
with
these
standards.
I
N
You
know
we
do
you
know.
I
say
this
to
a
lot
of
people,
I
mean
we
treat
people
how
you
would
want
to
be
treated.
I
mean
if
your
relative
was
in
our
jail.
If
my
relative
was
in
our
jail,
I'd
want
them
to
be
treated
right.
I
mean
that's,
how
we
treat
people
and
that's
what
we've
lived
by
for
quite
a
while.
So.
N
Couple
one
more
thing
about
nakamoto:
they
were
also
very
complementary
of
how
we
handled
covid
so
far
and
they
complemented
our
staff
on
their
professionalism,
which
you
know
is
a
is
a
credit
to
them
the
kovid.
You
know
we
have
had
co
the
covid
down
at
our
downtown
jail,
which
at
this
point
is
all
gone.
We
had
minimal
symptoms,
runny
noses
and
coughs,
mainly
some
temperatures,
but
so
it
is
now
we're
all
back
to
covet
free.
N
The
second
and
I'll
just
be
brief
on
the
second
inspection
of
the
office
of
detention
oversight,
to
show
you
how
long
it
was
was
literally
monday,
through
friday
of
the
week
after
thanksgiving
for
eight
hours
a
day
and
our
closeout
was
friday
afternoon
at
four
o'clock,
so
they
did
not
skimp,
they
did
not
say
hey
we're
gonna
get
out
here
early
today
I
mean
it
was
four
o'clock
on
friday,
so
you
know
they
took
you
know
I
mean
they
looked
at.
You
know
every
everything
that
we
do
down
there.
N
I
can
tell
you
that
we
had
no
deficiencies
with
the
odo
and
we
had
five.
What
are
called
findings
and
those
findings
are
basically
things
that
are
rectified
fairly
quickly.
So
the
findings
were
all
all
five
of
the
findings
were
all
policy
language.
In
other
words,
they
were
things
we
were
doing.
They
just
weren't
laid
out
in
the
policy
correctly.
So
by
the
time
they
left
at
four
o'clock
on
friday,
we
virtually
had
those
taken
care
of
we
just
added
it
to
our
policy.
N
N
No
deficiencies,
no
so
they
made
comments
on
our
medical
in
our
mental
health
said
they
were
very,
very
good,
very,
very
impressed
and
that
we
have
a
solid
first
responder
program,
and
what
that
is,
is
our
corrections.
Staff
are
trained
medically
so
that
if
there
is
an
incident
or
an
issue,
our
correctional
officers,
who
are
who
are
trained
to
be
first
responders,
can
deal
with
that
situation
right
away
before
you
know
they
need
to
contact
medical
and
so
on.
That's
one
of
the
few
programs
as
far
as
first
responders,
who
are
correctional
officers
nationwide.
N
N
We
are
actually
meeting
with
bourbon
a
officials
tomorrow
to
work
out
the
logistics,
but
we
do
have
our
first
signed
contract
with
one
of
the
municipalities
and
from
now
starting
yesterday,
we
are
starting
to
work
on
the
other
municipalities
such
as
kankakee
and
the
village
of
bradley,
and
move
that
forward.
Now
that
we
have
one
contract,
we
can
kind
of
just
not
recreate
the
wheel
and
change
a
few
names
and
numbers
and
should
be
moving
forward
with
that.
So.
G
N
We
had
38
staff,
receive
a
flu
shot
and
that's
when
you're
talking
a
couple
hundred
people-
that's
not
very
many.
Certainly
it's
not
mandatory,
but
we
also
offered
it
to
the
inmates
who
were
in
our
custody
and
we
had
actually
72
inmates
take
the
flu
shot.
So
you
know
in
this
pandemic
era
that
we're
in
I
know
they
were
encouraging
people
to
take
the
flu
shot
and
some
people
just
choose
not
to
I
mean
I
have
never
taken
the
flu
shot.
N
I
did
this
year
only
because
I
wanted
to
see
my
new
grandson,
so
I
I
I
got
the
ultimatum
either
get
the
flu
shot
you'll
be
able
to
see
your
grandson,
so
I
was
extorted
to
take
the
flu
shot,
but
so
yeah
we
actually
had
72
inmates.
Take
the
flu
shot
and,
like
I
said,
hopefully
that
that
helps
them
when
they
get
released
from
our
custody
they're,
not
catching
the
flu
and
spreading
it
and
doing
all
the
other
stuff.
N
N
This
is
a
great
idea:
I'm
gonna
get
some
votes
from
people
that
I
you
know,
and
so
you
know
if
they
don't
ask
the
right
people,
the
people
who
are
actually
doing
the
work
it
becomes
frustrating
for
us.
That
has
has
to
do
the
work
after
the
fact.
So
we
have
those
meetings
set
up
next
week
and
then,
lastly,
part
of
that
whole
fees
and
assessment
act
that
we
talked
about
earlier
also
affects
crime
stoppers,
and
I
have
a
list
here
somewhere.
N
We
can't
continue
down
that
road,
because
crime
stoppers
will
run
out
of
money.
We've
actually
spent
twenty
eight
hundred
dollars
more
than
we've
that
we
brought
in.
So
you
know,
crime
stoppers
is
a
valuable
tool,
not
only
for
law
enforcement
for
the
general
public
to
get
people
off
the
street
who
should
be
off
the
street
and
if
we
don't
have
money
to
pay,
some
people
aren't
going
to
call,
and
so
we're
going
to
be
working
on
that
as
well.
So.
O
O
O
O
As
always,
I
try
to
remember
to
try
to
have
you
remember
that
we
get
out
of
county
accidents
that
come
into
our
two
hospitals
here,
which
were
where
they
died
and
it
becomes
our
case.
So
that's
the
reason
why
there's
four
four
differences,
our
our
overdoses
set?
Our
second
sorry
here,
let
me
get
that
out
here.
O
O
O
O
Basically,
it's
like
a
repeat
every
time
as
fentanyl
is
what's
hitting
us,
pretty
hard.
Cocaine
has
come
back
quite
a
bit
along
with
the
heroin,
so
we're
we're,
like
I
say,
kind
of
disappointed
and
that's
where
it
is.
It's
costing
us
more
money
in
our
budget-wise,
but
we
were
lucky
that
we
got
that
care
acting
fund,
helped
us
a
lot
with
that
expense.
There
we
will
be
under
budget,
which
is
remarkable
that,
along
with
my
chief
deputy
working
that
working
those
grants,
he's
done
a
great
job.
O
So
that's
that's!
That's
really
positive!
For
us
last
time
we
were
at
84
000
over
I'm
just
on
autopsies-wise
this
year.
We
were
able
to
handle
that.
So
we're
very
pleased
on
that.
So
I
just
want
to
bring
up,
because
I
know
you're
going
to
bring
it
up
on
the
kobe.
So
I'll,
just
give
you
a
little
bit
of
information
on
that.
O
O
We
had
66
males,
59
females,
16
of
the
deaths
were
african-americans,
77
was
caucasians,
six
percent
hispanics
and
one
percent
agent
asian,
the
average
age
is
80
years
old,
the
youngest
deceased
was
38
and
the
oldest
was
100.
most
common
ages.
84
and
86
are,
as
you'll
see
there.
There's
like
eight
these
scenes
in
every
of
those
particular
age
brackets.
O
So
I
will
post
on
my
website
there.
This
whole
entire
data-
and
I
hope
you
go
to
see
that
at
the
cankeecountycorner.org
we'll
have
that
all
up
to
date
and
where
they
died
at
basically
was
quite
a
quite
a
high
percentage
at
nursing
homes
other
than
that
I'll.
Take
any
questions
that
you
have
questions
for
the
coroner.
K
I
That
was
one
of
my
questions.
The
other
one
is
is
that
we
are
what
about
a
hundred
and
eleven
hundred
thirteen
thousand
in
this
county
109
about
109
000
and
the
deaths
attributed
here
are
129
125,
125
cent,
and
that's
since
march,
correct,
that's
april,
1st,
says
april
1st
so
giving
that
but
the
population
of
individuals
here
that's
way
way
less
than
even
I
have
a
percent
of
people
or
even
less
than
that
of
people
that
have
actually
passed
away
and
that's
from
supposedly
coveted
compilation.
I
J
O
O
Questions
one
other
point,
mr
chairman,
as
this
I
say:
50
overdoses,
which
is
a
lot
if
you
go
by
our
population
there,
that
overrides
will
county
and
dupage,
basically
with
their
half
a
m
little
over
three
quarters
of
a
million
to
a
million
into
page
there.
So
it's
it's!
It's
a
it's
quite
an
epidemic
here
in
our
area
and
seeing
it
on
the
riser.
F
O
Well,
I
would,
I
would
say
that
a
large
percentage
of
it
is
is.
Is
the
fentanyl,
as
I
said
before,
I
got
criticized
for
it
there,
but
I,
I
think,
there's
a
mixture
in
there,
because
you
can't
have
four
or
five
of
these
different
drugs
like
cocaine,
heroin,
fentanyl,
acetal
fentanyl,
all
in
you,
without
with
that
without
without
mixing
it.
So
that's
what
we
try
to
get
out
to
the
public
on
is
to
those
that
are
on
that
need
to
be
watching
what
what
they're
taking?
O
I
mean
it's
hard
to
say
that,
but
that's
what's
happening
here.
These
people
who
are
getting
just
like
the
sheriff,
has
said
getting
out
of
jail
coming
to
back
into
our
community
and
we've
had
several
like.
I
don't
know
exactly
the
number
of
them,
but
several
of
them
have
been
in
just
got
out
of
jail
and
gone
right
back
to
what
they
used
to
do.
A
M
C
A
K
We
thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I
I
guess
this
is
more
of
a
head
nod
question.
Would
this
committee
like
me
to
sit
with
our
finance
director
and
do
an
analysis
on
those
vans
and
see
how
that
fits
into
this
or
any
future
budget
and
bring
it
to
finance
sure?
Just
as
a
head
nod
saying,
you
in
theory
agree
with
the
need
if
you
got
200
000
mile
vans,
is
that
okay
with
the
committee,
if
we
do
the
analysis
and
bring
it
this
month
to
finance?
