Committee member praises State's Attorney's firearm restraining order filings
Summary
A committee member congratulated the State's Attorney's Office on a press release saying Lake County leads the state in filings for firearm restraining orders and thanked staff involved in the gun violence prevention initiative.
Member Kanisha (committee member) used member remarks near the end of the April 1 meeting to congratulate the Lake County State's Attorney's Office for a recent press conference announcing that Lake County is "number 1 now in the state in filing for firearm restraining orders." She specifically thanked firearm safety specialist Rachel Jacoby and the gun violence prevention initiative team, and acknowledged the county board members who supported creating the specialist position.

Her remarks were delivered as part of member remarks near the end of the meeting; no committee action was taken on the issue during the recorded session.
The transcript records the comment as a recognition and encouragement; no formal directive, vote, or request for follow-up was recorded.
