Sheriff's office awarded $31,001.66 Organized Retail Crime grant; funds to offset subscription costs
Summary
The sheriff's office received $31,001.66 from the Illinois attorney general for organized retail crime; the grant will appropriate revenue and cover subscriptions used for cell‑phone data extraction and GPS tracking.
The sheriff's office told the Peoria County committee that it was awarded a $31,001.66 organized retail crime grant from the Illinois attorney general in August and asked the committee to appropriate the revenue and related expenses into this year's budget. A sheriff's office representative said the funds will offset subscriptions used for extracting and analyzing cell‑phone data and for GPS tracking.
Why it matters: The subscriptions are ongoing investigative tools; grant funding will relieve the county's general operating costs for those services.
The committee moved and voted to appropriate the revenue and expenses as requested; the motion was approved by voice vote. No objections or conditions were recorded in committee discussion.
