the
grand

the
grand
jury
statistics
report

I'll.
Take

and
approve
mr.
Berner.
Mr.
culo
comments
on
your
report.
C
A
D
Good
morning,
good
morning,
everyone
I
restructured
the
forum
I
had
I
talked
to
my
staff.
I
asked
it.
We
get
the
all
the
old
files
submitted
to
my
office.
We
have
a
lot
of
part-time
people.
They
keep
their
files
in
Piatt,
oh
and
Bourbonnais
Kankakee
various
locations
they've
been
sitting
on
some
clothes
cases,
so
I
ask
that
they
submit
them,
so
we
could
have
a
more
accurate
count
as
to
what
is
pending.
What
is
closed,
we're
gonna
break
down
this
a
little
bit
more
by
next
meeting.
We're
going
to
well
we're
gonna.
D
I
just
want
to
let
everyone
know
that
there's
been
some
changes
within
my
office
upon
me
becoming
the
head
public
defender
that
opened
up
my
spot,
I
transferred
or
basically
promoted,
Karyn
farmer
who
was
a
part-time
assistant,
public
defender
she's,
been
there
since
the
year
2000
and
our
most
senior
attorney
she's
taken
over
a
full-time
position.
She
is
basically
taken
over
my
prior
role:
she's
doing
the
helping
courts,
primarily
drug
court
veterans,
court
custody
call.
D
She
also
has
a
regular
felony,
caseload
and
I
anticipate
I'll,
now
anticipate
I
am
increasing
her
felony
caseload
to
correspond
with
her
full
time
status
with
her
salary
opening
up
and
mr.
estrela's
prior
salary,
I
created
another
full-time
position.
I
gave
that
to
Becky
Shalini.
She
has
been
a
public
defender
for
15
years
before
she
left
about
a
year
ago.
She's
going
to
be
doing
the
juvenile
court
I'm,
not
sure
how
much
you
guys
know
about
this.
D
The
juvenile
courts
been
in
flux
lately
due
to
manpower,
changes
and
a
variety
of
issues
that
I
won't
go
into
at
this
time,
but
her
forte
is
juvenile
court.
She
did
that
for
15
years.
He
knows
what
she's
doing
and
I
think
she's
really
gonna
help
the
entire
process
when
she
takes
over
a
full-time
position
as
a
I
believe
November
1st
other
than
that
I
have
nothing
further.
E
D
Well
and
I'll
give
mr.
Capriati
credit
on
that.
It's
a
high-volume
courtroom,
and
but
it
is
what
it
is.
You
know
they're
simple
cases,
they're
straightforward,
but
you
know
as
of
2:30
on
any
given
day.
It's
called
completely
over
he's
got
time
to
go
over
the
cases,
so
you
think
I
would
turn
that
on
its
head
and
say
you
know,
this
is
a
great
opportunity
to
you
know
say
how
yes,
this
particular
issue.
Obviously
you
know
having
one
person
in
traffic
I
think
it's
very
similar
with
mr.
Rhodes
office.
It's
difficult
I
mean
even
logistical.
D
F
A
There
really
is
any
other
questions
or
comments.
We
have
a
motion
in
a
second
all
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed
same
sign
motion
carries.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Next
up,
mr.
Latham
for
probation,
you
have
a
copy
of
the
monthly
report
for
probation
in
your
packet.
Take
the
motion
to
approve
mr.
Burnes
second
by
mr.
Fairfield.
G
G
Just
quickly
I
talked
to
this
committee
a
few
times
about
the
pre-trial
positions
the
state
made
available
to
us
that
we
applied
for
all
this
began
with
that
the
bail
reform
that
went
into
effect
back
in
June
of
17
couple
weeks
ago,
we
received
word,
we
got
the
positions
so
we'll
start,
that's
effective,
June
or
December.
First,
so
we'll
hire
for
that
and
start
that
unit
and
the
goal
of
pretrial
is
to
greatly
reduce
our
local
population
in
the
in
the
jail.
G
There's
a
supervision
component
to
it
will
supervise
them,
reduce
our
failure
to
appear
warrants,
which
I
think
there
was
over
2300
warrants
issued
last
year.
So
there's
a
cost
to
that.
Our
goal
is
to
reduce
that
and,
like
I
said,
the
report
to
the
jail
early
in
the
morning
get
information
put
together
a
bond
report
being
cork
that
afternoon
and
they'll
be
on
bond
court
and
weekends.
That
information
is
provided
to
the
court
and
then
obviously
they
use
that
to
determine
conditions
of
supervision
going
forward
and
who
should
be
released.
G
I
think
we,
the
states
we
used
in
our
application,
were
which
we
got
from
the
Sheriff's
Department
was,
and
then
you
give
me
a
12-month
period
there's
about
5500
people
booked
into
the
jail,
even
if
20%
of
those
people
require
some
sort
of
supervision,
that's
a
which
I
think
would
be
higher
than
that.
There's
a
lot
of
people
that
we
are
not
dealing
with
right
now.
Currently,
so
it's
good
news,
like
I,
said
it's
starts
a
tempest
December
first
and
we'll
I
just
want
to
let
her,
but
even
make
everybody
aware
of
that.
So
that's.
G
G
A
F
F
The
one
number
that
sticks
out
that
the
chairman
of
the
committee
has
highlighted
as
well
as
I,
do
are
the
traffic
fatalities.
So
far
in
2019
we
are
at
18,
which
is
double
of
what
we
were
last
year
and
the
majority
of
which
are
on
state
roads,
but
that
doesn't
matter
we
we
are
identifying
where
those
are
happening,
and
why-
and
we
will
continue
to
provide
patrol
to
those
extra
patrol
of
those
areas
to
try
and
slow
people
down.
A
H
F
No,
it's
been
my
way.
It's
been
that
way.
For
a
long
time,
I
mean
we
honestly
thought
that
the
the
bond
reform
would
reduce
that,
but
it
hasn't
and
I
we
work
with
with
Jim's
office
all
the
time
about
trying
to
get
people
out
who
really
shouldn't
be
there
or,
if
they're
spending
more
time
in
jail
than
they
would
if
they
were
to
get
sentence
right
and
they're.
Just
not
there
I
mean
it's
not
that
we
have
warehousing
people
that
just.
H
I
A
F
A
F
We've
we've
run
into
a
slight
snag
with
the
purchase
of
vehicles,
as
as
this
committee
recalls,
you
approved
us
to
buy
11
Tahoe's,
which
are
not
an
issue.
You
also
approved
us
to
purchase
seven
dodge
trucks
at
a
very
good
price
when
you
compare
it
to
what
other
squad
cars
and
Tahoe's
are
selling,
for.
F
We
got
notification
shortly
after
the
full
County
Board
approved
the
purchase.
That
Dodge
had
a
couple
issues
with
building
this
truck
and
they
were
going
to
notify
us
once
they
got
this
situation
rectified
about
a
week
later
they
got
the
situation
rectified
and
said
they
weren't
building
trucks
in
2019.
They
wouldn't
build
until
2020.
When
I
inquired
about
the
pricing.
They
could
not
guarantee
the
same
pricing,
so
my
guess
is:
if
they
can't
guarantee
that
pricing,
then
it's
probably
not
going
to
be
the
same,
so
we
started
to
look
elsewhere.
F
Knowing
that
you
know,
we
would
not
find
anything
that
we
could
purchase.
That
would
be
of
similar
capacity,
and
we
we
looked
at
the
Ford
Explorers,
which
I
know
that
our
coroner
has
a
lot
of
police
agencies.
Have
we
don't
put
a?
We
don't
put
an
explorer
out
on
the
road
for
the
sole
reason
that
inside
those
cars
they're
just
not
as
big
as
Tahoes
and
we
have
on
every
shift.
We
have
a
two-person
unit
and,
quite
frankly,
you
can't
fit
two
officers
with
all
their
gear
and
all
the
equipment.
That's
inside
a
car.
F
You
can't
fit
them
inside
a
car
to
work
for
eight
hours
so
rather
than
purchase
Explorers
for
the
road
I'm
suggesting
that
we
purchase
explorers
to
replace
these
Dodge
trucks.
Of
course,
the
issue
is
price
and
the
total
purchase
price
for
the
Dodge
trucks
was
one
hundred
and
seventy
six
thousand
nine
twenty
eight
that
was
four
seven
I
am
asking
that
we
reduced
that
number
by
one
to
six,
and
that
brings
the
total
price
for
the
Explorers
to
196
thousand
nine
hundred
dollars
or
a
difference
of
nineteen
thousand
nine
hundred
and
seventy
five
dollars.
F
A
I
A
I
I
In
that
area,
some
type
of
shelters,
I
know
the
churches
say
they
are
doing
some
things
doing
the
cold,
harsh
winters,
but
it
looks
like
there's
a
law
I
mean
at
least
they
a
concern
to
maybe
try
to
if
those
numbers
can
equate
into
dollars
is
to
try
to
look
at
something
as
far
as
a
shelter
where
it
doesn't
run
up.
I
expense
that
makes
sense
is
what
I'm
saying.
F
Guess
I
would
I
would
say
probably
some
of
what
you're
saying
is
probably
accurate
in
the
summer
time
springtime
summertime
fortitude
community
outreach
I,
know,
operates
a
shelter
every
day
and
we
actually
work
closely
with
them
and
I
know
that
their
shelters
are
I.
Don't
know
that
they're
necessarily
full,
but
I
know
that
a
lot
of
those
that
are
without
homes
do
utilize
fortitude
and
they
do
provide
them
with
meals
and
overnight
and
accommodations
and
heat
and
air,
and
whatever
else
they
need.
F
F
It
was
a
circus
and
I
know
that
they
showed
up
wanting
me
to
say
no
you're
not
coming
in
and
that
would
have
just
exacerbated
everything
and
while
ice
rules
require
congressional
visits
to
ice
facilities
to
have
48
hours
notice,
I
made
the
decision
to
allow
them
in
and
provided
a
tour
for
them,
because
we
really
have
nothing
to
hide
literally.
There
is
nothing
in
that
building
that
I
am
ashamed
to
show
people
and
so
I
spent
about
four
hours.
With
that
contingent.
F
They
referred
to,
and
they
didn't
refer
this
to
me.
They
refer
to
it
in
the
article
because
that's
where
they
get
their
information
out,
I'm
not
gonna,
pass
out
their
information,
but
according
to
an
article,
it's
in
the
Tribune
today,
an
article
that
was
written
by
somebody
from
WBEZ
who
is
here
as
well.
F
F
But
you
know
these
people
want
law
enforcement
to
not
follow
the
law.
It's
plain
and
simple:
they
don't
want
us
to
follow.
The
law
and
I
can
tell
this
committee
and
I'll
tell
anybody.
I
was
sworn
to
uphold
an
oath
and
I
will
uphold
that
oath
and
if,
if
that's
wrong,
then
so,
be
it,
but
I
don't
believe
that
to
be
wrong.
I
think
it's
the
right
thing
to
do.
I
I,
do
have
to
say
that
the
that
the
tour
was
very
cordial.
F
They
were
very
respectful,
but
to
come
in
here
on
it's
March
in
here.
Like
you
know,
they're
gonna
take
over
our
building
was
a
circus
and
it
was
specifically
designed
for
us
to
say
no,
you
can't
come
in
and
then
that
would
have
been
all
over
national
news
because
that's
how
they
operate
well.
My
conversations
with
the
with
the
congressman
were
very
very
good.
F
We
both
agreed
that
the
issue
is
in
Washington
DC
and
it
has
to
be
changed
as
I've
said
a
hundred
times,
and
until
it
changes
I'm
gonna
continue
what
I'm
doing,
but
I
just
think.
This
criminal
justice
committee
needs
to
be
aware
of
what
we're
dealing
with
on
a
daily
basis
from
from
people
who
don't
have
a
clue
and
who
are
hearing
things
from
people
inside
or
I.
Don't
know
where
the
honest-to-god
I
don't
know
where
they
hear
them.
F
I
mean
we're
in
the
medical
department
and
after
the
meet
after
the
tour
with
the
congressional
people.
I
took
the
media
back
there
because
we
don't
have
anything
to
hide.
Now.
I've
already
sent
an
email
out
to
the
director
of
the
Chicago
field
office
of
ice,
letting
him
know
that
hey
I
might
have
screwed
up.
Washington
DC
might
get
a
little
upset
that
I
allowed
this
congressman
in,
but
I
felt
at
that
time
it
was
the
best
thing
to
do
to
avoid
the
whole
process
and
I
even
told
it
I
even
told
the
whole
contingent.
F
Technically
we're
not
supposed
to
allow
you
in,
but
if
we
decide
to
make
an
appointment
and
let
you
come
back
in
you're
gonna
see
the
same
thing
two
days
later
than
you
are
now
and
and
that's
what
I
told
the
Chicago
office.
That's
what
I
told
the
other
individuals
that
we
talked
to
about
it.
You're
gonna
see
the
same
thing.
We
don't
change
when
somebody
says
hey,
we
want
a
tour,
we
don't
say:
hey,
go
sweep
up
that
floor
or
hey
go
clean
that
toilet.
F
Those
are
things
that
are
done
every
day,
and
so
we-
and
this
is
this-
is
how
the
media
and
one
of
the
things
and
it's
interesting,
because
one
thing
he
said,
he
said
that
the
this
is
out
of
the
WBZ
article.
The
surprise
visit
was
organized
because
the
lawmakers
wanted
to
see
the
real
conditions
inside
the
detention
center.
Garcia
said
they
didn't
want
to
see
a
sanitized
version
and
you
know,
and
it
just
and
then
the
other
one
was.
F
F
Well,
I
honest
to
god:
don't
know
what
the
hell
they
were
looking
at,
because
there
was
about
five
people
in
there
in
and
out
we
had
a
PA
in
there
we
had
a
nurse
practitioner
in
there
we
had
two
RNs.
We
had
the
secretary
down
there,
who
does
the
scheduling
for
the
appointments,
and
this
article
comes
out
and
says-
and
this
is
why
I
mean
when
you
and
I
don't
want
to
get
into
a
whole
fake
news,
stuff
cuz,
that's
all
national
stuff,
but
they
saw
it
and
they
still
wrote
in
their
article.
F
F
You
know
it's
just
a
shame
that
people
with
their
own
agenda
come
in
and
want
to
want
to
degrade
people
and
tell
you
you're
not
doing
a
good
job,
and
you
know
think
that
things
are
wrong
and
and
take
the
word
of
you
know
they
even
refer
to
people
in
here,
and
we
told
him
we
go
pick
up
people
right
out
of
prison
and
they
were
sitting
in
our
jail.
But
apparently
that's
you
know
they
still
want
those
people
out
on
the
street
so
anyway,
just
to
keep
your
work.
A
F
You
know
there
was
a
lot
of
questions
that
they
asked
that
were
related
to
what
is
referred
to
in
this
article
of
some
of
the
complaints,
and
we
answered
their
questions
as
we
would,
whether
there's
a
complaint
or
not.
We've
not
seen
the
complaint.
We've
not
seen
the
letter.
It's
supposedly
a
five-page
letter,
I
did
email
Chicago
this
morning.
They
asked
to
see
it
because
I
don't
believe
it,
but,
like
I
said
the
whole
process
was
cordial.
F
Everything
was
cordial,
but
you
know
the
you
know
afterwards
and
the
quotes-
and
you
know
people
are
in
here
for
a
broken,
taillight
and
and
all
that-
and
you
know,
I
can
give
him
a
whole
list
of
people
who
were
in
here
for
aggravated
criminal,
sexual
assault
and
I'm
guessing
that
they
want
those
people
on
the
street
to.
But
that's
that's
just
my
interpretation
from
from
what
they're
talking
about
so.
I
Has
been,
and
so
as
a
result,
without
any,
without
informing
her
or
contacting
her
or
at
the
state
level
lindsay
Parker's.
Who
would
if
you
were
to
come
over
into
my
particular
district,
usually
there's
something
called
professional
courtesy
that
they
should
have
extended,
whether
or
not
I,
you
know
you
come
into
people's
I
mean
I
would
have
understand.
Your
position
is
a
very
judgment,
call
position
when
you're
saying
I
don't
want
the
media
circus,
but
you
also
have
the
right
to
respond
to
something.
I
I
would
have
been
highly
upset
and
I
would
have
made
some
phone
calls
thereafter
because
it
appears
as
if
they
was
coming
from
one
purpose,
but
that
purpose
really
wasn't
to
I
guess
see
how
they
were
doing
it
was
through
underlying
calls
to
try
to
undermine
in
and
I
believe.
In
this
case,
you
all
did
an
exemplary
job
in
opening
up
the
doors
and
then
showing
them
that
the
department
has
my
appreciation
and
kudos
I
appreciate.
F
A
E
Morning,
mr.
chair
morning
and
everybody
else,
this
is
our
autopsies
are
a
little
bit
on
the
uprise
right
now
in
the
last
couple
of
months
and
just
to
note
all
the
way
to
the
bottom
of
this
page
that
we
have
here
that
there's,
there's
nine
in
completes
right
now,
so
you
might
see
stuff
with
the
sheriff
mentioned
about
fatalities
there.
We
still
have
our
all.
Our
cases
are
not
back
yet
so,
probably
being
that
range
of
15
or
16.
Fatality
is
already
an
that.
E
Also,
if
you
note
also
to
and
I
say,
like
we've
had
11
autopsies
in
September,
also,
if
you
look
down
there
outside
autopsies,
we
perform
the
outside
autopsies
too.
So
actually
we're
doing
15
autopsies
in
a
month.
Why
so
we're
staying
pretty
busy
over
there
and
already
in
the
month
of
October,
we're
up
on
autopsies
just
to
give
you
an
upgrade
on
that
other
than
that.
E
A
E
B
E
We
didn't
have
narcan
right
now
on
the
field
out
there,
you
could
almost
triple
our
autopsies.
That's
how
bad
it
is
out
there.
So
that's
a
that's,
a
great
Savior
of
that
and
and
we're
still
we're
still
got.
We
still
got
three
hundred
and
twenty-five
thousand
ish
this
year,
so
we're
in
pretty
good
shape
on
that
we're
we're
at
nineteen
overdoses
right
now,
five
pending,
which
would
bring
us
back
to
right
around
twenty
four.
Our
statistics
for
while
I
had
that
over
twenty
eight
nine
last
year,
I
believe
overdosing
back
I.
E
Forget
it
yeah,
twenty-nine
and
yeah
we're
five
pending
the,
but
also
to
last
night.
We
had
another
heroin
overdose,
so
we
know
that's
gonna
be
six
pending.
Now
that
we're
working
on
an
average
age
is
still
around
forty
one.
That's
gonna
drop
a
little
bit
because
we
had
a
couple
of
twenty
year
olds
that
went
down
mail
wise,
it's
a
right
equal
with
the
male
and
female
on
on
the
deaths
race,
its
Caucasians
at
17,
and
a
half
normal
Americans
at
two.
E
The
rest
of
that.
What
we're
looking
at
basically
is.
A
lot
of
cocaine
is
now
coming
to
our
stage
here,
also
along
with
a
heroin
and
fentanyl.
These
are
the
drugs
that
are
hitting
that's
pretty
heavy
right
now
coming
on
strong.
They
had
another
OD,
with
the
possibility
of
a
save
in
Kankakee
yesterday
at
the
gas
station
in
Washington
in
court,
one
in
there
and
got
so.
You
know
that
was
alerted
to
key
Megan
to
the
officers
in
that
area,
because
you
know
that
probably
was
bought
somewhere
in
that
area.
E
So
it's
a
constant
workout
just
want
to.
Let
you
know
that
we're
still
holding
on
I'm
sorry
I
saw
it
right
here.
Erica
we're
still
holding
on
to
our
budget
really
good
at
this
point
here
we're
we're
way
under
budget
there.
It
looks
pretty
good
on
our
aspect,
we're
holding
pretty
tight
on
that
so
other
than
that
I
think
any
questions
out
there.
I
Oftentimes
you
out
in
in
the
county
and
sometimes
you're
unaware
of
some
of
the
work
that
you
do
on
Sunday.
A
lady
testified
in
our
church
and
I.
Couldn't
repeat
it
because
you
know
the
evidence
on
DVD,
but
her
son
had
a
deed
and
they
had
feared
the
worst,
but
because
of
the
knock,
and
you
are
all
able
to
save
him,
two
individuals
in
a
prominent
but
the
son,
Oh
deed,
and
they
expressed
much
kudos.
I
So
some
that
you
didn't
hear,
but
something
was
testified
on
to
to
the
church
or
whatever
of
the
work
that
I
already
know
that
you
do.
But
it
is
also
nice
when
you
I'm
not
nice,
to
hear
that
a
personal
D,
but
it's
nice
to
hear
when
they
have
accolades.
That's
coming
and
a
testifying
to
others
and
you
your
custom
with
the
church
because
you've
been
there,
you
and
Gemma
been
there,
and
it's
just
that.
They
testified
to
the
fact
that
you
all
say
had
it
not.
I
They
have
been
having
a
funeral
service
so
again
and
then
was
a
cost
savings,
because
the
person
didn't
have
insurance
if
they
would
have
died.
So
that
means
there
would
be
none
another,
so
don't
know
how
much
nor
Kane
is,
but
at
least
it
saved
them
between
65
and
85
hundred
dollars
to
have
to
put
away
someone.
So
there
you
have
I
say
thank
you.
Thank.
E
A
H
