Summary
Police Chief Greg Smith briefed trustees on department-wide training including new Illinois law instruction and domestic-violence training, a recent evidence-room audit and a partnership with the Crisis Center of South Suburbia that recorded 56 submitted cases with 27 instances receiving protections or services.
Police Chief Greg Smith reported training and partnership activity to the board on March 17.
"Monthly police training: part of the unfunded mandates, part two of the new Illinois Laws, also Psychology of Domestic Violence was conducted department wide," Smith said. He said Detective Darge and he attended a School District 206 safety meeting and that staff met with the Will County Health Department to discuss suicide prevention for officers.
Smith described a partnership with the Crisis Center of South Suburbia and provided figures: "Approximately 56 cases were submitted, and they found 27 times when they actually provided protection and other things for our victims." He also reported the department’s evidence room was audited with a couple of minor issues and said the department will provide additional training on the new "Corina's Bill," which he said takes effect May 12.
The chief’s report was delivered as informational; trustees did not take separate action on the items reported.
