Reduce incidents of violent crime, with particular emphasis on avoidable gun violence, and which involves repeat criminal offenders.
Address the clear failings of the Cook County criminal justice system and the harm those failures have on the residents of both Cook County and the counties that border Cook County...including DuPage County. Half of all violent crime occurring in DuPage County is committed by an offender that maintains an address in Cook County.
Address social inequity, namely the disproportionate degree to which minorities and the economically disadvantaged are victimized by gun violence and other crime.

Thank you to the many law officers who protect all people, whether Black, Latinex, Trans, Women, Poor.I'd love to see a coalition of police officers pushing for systemic change from the inside, related to abuse of power, profiling, and outright murder of our Black and Brown brothers and sisters. We know most officers live to serve. But even 1% who abuse the system amounts to thousands. I honor those who protect us and call for them to refuse to be silent about those who don't.

Please, please wear a mask and social distance at least six feet from others, and continue hand hygiene. Downtown Naperville was packed this past weekend and more than 90%+ were not wearing a face covering or distancing. Goldman Sachs just released a report that says a national mask mandate could save the economy 1 Trillion dollars. Not to mention saving hundreds of thousands of lives. Does Naperville need to wait for a national mandate? I say no. Please, for yourself, for others, wear the mask, don't give your dollars to places of business that refuse to enforce safety measures, be safe.

The Lisle Police Department has joined the Illinois State Police and more than 200 local police and sheriff’s departments on a statewide enforcement campaign targeting impaired and unbuckled drivers now through July 6. The campaign is part of the “Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over” and “Click It or Ticket” program, both of which are made possible by federal traffic safety funds administered by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
The Lisle Police recommends these tips to help ensure a happy and safe Fourth of July holiday:
• Designate a sober driver and give them your keys before you go out.
• Don’t let friends or family members drive under the influence.
• If you have been drinking or are impaired by marijuana or other drugs, call a taxi, take mass transit, use your favorite ride-sharing service, or call a sober friend or family member to get you home safely.
• Promptly report impaired drivers to law enforcement by pulling over and dialing 911.
• Make sure everyone in your vehicle wears their seat belt. It’s not only the law, but also your best defense against an impaired driver.

Murder charges brought against Naperville man.DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert B. Berlin and Naperville Chief of Police Robert Marshall announced today that charges have been upgraded to First Degree Murder against Alan Wang, 56 (d.o.b. 3/20/1964) of 1103 N. Mill Street, Naperville. Wang is accused of beating his wife to death earlier this year. On March 11, 2020, Wang appeared at a bond hearing where bond was set at $850,000 with 10% to apply. He was originally charged with one count of Aggravated Domestic Battery (Class 2 Felony.) Yesterday, Wang was indicted on two counts of First Degree Murder in addition to the existing count of Aggravated Domestic Battery.
On March 8, 2020, at approximately 4:50 p.m., personnel from the Naperville Police and Fire Departments responded to a call at the couple’s residence regarding a female who was not breathing, later identified as Hongyan Yang, 35 (d.o.b. 6/10/1984). The victim was immediately taken to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead at 5:54 p.m. Following an investigation conducted by the Naperville Police Department into Yang’s death, it is alleged that in the evening hours of March 7, 2020, the defendant and his wife were in the couple’s bedroom when the defendant kicked the victim multiple times. The following day, a relative of the couple called 9-1-1 when it appeared that the victim stopped breathing. The findings of an autopsy conducted by DuPage County Coroner Dr. Richard Jorgensen’s office led to the upgraded charges.
“The autopsy conducted by the DuPage County Coroner’s Office concluded Hongyan Yang died as a result of internal bleeding,” Berlin said. “With a cause of death now known, justice demands that the charges against Mr. Wang support the allegations that he is responsible for her death. I commend the DuPage County Coroner’s Office for their outstanding efforts in identifying Hongyan Yang’s death. I would like to thank the Naperville Police Department for their work on this very sad case. I would also like to thank Assistant State’s Attorneys Amanda Meindl and Alexandria Levan for their efforts in securing the appropriate charges against Mr. Wang.”
"This was a brutal and tragic crime, and I want to thank our officers and investigators, the DuPage County Coroner’s Office as well as the DuPage County State's Attorney's Office for their diligence in investigating this case in order to get justice for Mrs. Yang," Marshall said. “Our department is committed to helping victims of domestic violence find safety before something as tragic as this incident occurs. From our victim advocate and social services team to the resources available on our website, www.naperville.il.us/domesticviolence, we want victims of domestic violence to know that the Naperville Police Department has resources to help you. You are not alone.”
Richard Jorgensen, MD, DuPage County Coroner, appreciates the thorough and professional investigation by Deputy Scott Quinn and Katherine Little. “The experience and training of the Coroner Deputies is brought to the fore in situations like this where the investigation, preservation and collection of evidence is essential to bringing justice for the deceased,” Jorgensen said. “Additionally, the excellent evaluation and examination by Chief Forensic Pathologist Hilary McElligott, MD, was integral to the investigation and presentation of factual evidence to the State’s Attorney for charging and prosecuting this offender.”
Wang’s next court appearance is scheduled for July 20, 2020 for status in front of Judge Ann Celine O’Hallaren Walsh.
Members of the public are reminded that this complaint contains only charges and is not proof of the defendant’s guilt. A defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial in which it is the government’s burden to prove his or her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Bruce Mirabella, 51 (d.o.b. 9/6/1968), of 201 Patricia Lane, appeared in Court this morning in front of Judge Brian Telander, who imposed the sentence. On March 4, 2020, immediately following a four-hour-long bench trial, Judge Telander found Mirabella guilty of one count of Aggravated Battery, a Class 3 Felony. Following the guilty verdict, Judge Telander revoked Mirabella’s bond and he was taken into custody. Mirabella had previously been out on bond after posting 10%, or $5,000 of his $50,000 bond.
On July 22, 2019, officers with the Bartlett Police Department responded to the Jewel grocery store located on Sterns Road in response to a battery of a store employee. Through their investigation, officers learned that at approximately 9:45 p.m., Mirabella went to the store to purchase alcohol. While in the checkout line, Mirabella punched the victim, a bagger who has special needs, in the face and then kicked him in his left back area before fleeing the store. Bartlett Police Department took Mirabella into custody a short time later from his home.
“Without provocation and with malicious intent, Bruce Mirabella violently attacked an innocent man at work,” Berlin said. “What I find particularly upsetting about Mr. Mirabella’s inexcusable behavior is the fact that the victim in this case was a special needs individual who posed no threat to Mr. Mirabella whatsoever. This morning, Mr. Mirabella learned that his inability to control himself will cost him the next two years of his freedom. I would like to thank Assistant State’s Attorneys Bethany Jackson and Nick Catizone for their efforts in holding Mr. Mirabella responsible for his actions.”
Mirabella will be required to serve 50% of his sentence before being eligible for parole.

Protests in Naperville on Friday were largely peaceful. 2 arrests.On Friday, June 5, the Naperville Police Department responded to two protests in the city. The first protest was located at Route 59 and 95th Street with a group of 30-40 people gathered and walked east along 95th Street to Book Road with the Naperville Police ensuring the protestors’ safety on city streets. The protest was peaceful and ended without any issues.
The second protest was located downtown beginning at Centennial Beach. The group of approximately 200 protestors walked east along Jackson Street and continued their peaceful march to Chicago Avenue and Washington Street intersection with Naperville Police ensuring the safety of the group on downtown streets.
Police developed reliable information that some members of the downtown protest group intended to commit criminal acts in the downtown. Police lines were established to help with crowd control and allow for the protestors to continue their rally safely, as they had left the sidewalks and continued to walk in the middle of the roadway. As some of the members of the protest group began to actively engage police officers and state their intent to break through the police lines, a lawful order to disperse was given by police command.
While the majority of the protestors dispersed, there was a small group of approximately 30 who continued to engage police and made it clear the intent to not comply with the order. A second order to disperse was given and the protestors complied.
A total of two arrests were made for the criminal defacement to public property:

A recap on todays rioting in Naperville by the Naperville Police Department.On the evening of June 1, the Naperville Police Department, assisted by numerous law enforcement agencies, addressed incidents of looting, vandalism, and other acts of violence in the downtown area. As of 1:00 am on June 2, the downtown area has been secured.
At 3:00 pm on June 1, a pre-planned and organized protest commenced with approximately 300-400 persons in Washington and Chicago Ave. This protest was lawful with individuals exercising their first amendment rights. The protest moved throughout the downtown streets, to city hall, and then to the police department. The Naperville Police Department provided an escort during this protest to ensure everyone’s safety.
At approximately 9:00 pm the peaceful protest turned violent with approximately 250-300 persons. The group began to separate, and the instigators began roving throughout the downtown area committing criminal acts. This violence was directed at police officers working to keep the area safe, and at the many downtown businesses. The criminal acts consisted of individuals possessing wood 2 x 4’s, which were used to break windows. In addition, bricks and bottles were thrown at police officers and through store windows. Additionally, instigators burglarized many of the downtown business, stealing a variety of items, and setting off explosive devices which injured one police officer. Bricks were also thrown at police vehicles.
One individual participating in the unlawful protest suffered a stab wound from another protestor and has been hospitalized. This case is under investigation.
Businesses in other parts of the city were also burglarized and vandalized.
The Naperville Police Department requested mutual aid from the Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System, the Illinois State Police, the Plainfield Police Department, the Aurora Police Department, the Woodridge Police Department, the Dupage County Sheriff’s Office, the Kane County Sheriff’s Office, METRO SWAT, FBI, ATF, and the Department of Homeland Security, which brought additional officers to Naperville.

Two men arrested for arson in Aurora last night.#APDNewsRelease: AURORA POLICE ARREST TWO MEN AFTER THEY SET FIRE TO VEHICLE ON CITY’S NEAR WEST SIDE
Aurora Police have arrested and charged two men after they set fire to a vehicle on the city’s near west side early Monday morning.
Just after 1:15 a.m. on Monday, Aurora’s 911 center received a call from a homeowner in the 400 block of Michigan Avenue reporting that her vehicle was on fire in the driveway. She told dispatchers that she received a motion alert from her exterior cameras, and when she opened the camera stream on her smartphone, she saw her vehicle on fire in the driveway. Aurora Police officers and the Aurora Fire Department responded to the home and firefighters worked quickly to extinguish the fire.
Arson investigators from the Aurora Fire Department and detectives from Aurora Police’s Bureau of Investigations responded to the scene. They began interviewing potential witnesses, canvassing the area, and investigating the specific circumstances of the incident. Evidence Technicians from Aurora Police’s Evidence Unit also responded to the scene to identify and collect forensic evidence from the incident.
Approximately seven minutes later, an investigator with Aurora Police’s Special Operations Group performed a traffic stop in the area of Galena Boulevard and Union Street. When the investigator approached the vehicle, the interior smelled like gasoline.
Officers on the scene of the vehicle fire reviewed the surveillance video, which showed two suspects setting fire to the SUV. Officers were able to identify a male suspect with a long braided ponytail. The information about the description of the suspect was communicated to officers on the scene of the traffic stop and they noticed one of the people inside of the vehicle also had long hair in a braided ponytail.
18-year-old Mario Palacios, of the 1000 block of 2nd Avenue in Aurora, and 20-year-old Xavier Bijarro, of the 300 block of Harmony Drive in North Aurora, were taken into custody for the vehicle fire on Michigan Avenue. Detectives reviewed the details of the investigation and evidence in the case with the Kane County State’s Attorney’s Office, who authorized the following charges:
Mario Palacios
One Class 2 Felony count of Arson
Xavier Bijarro
One Class 2 Felony count of Arson

Thank you to Grundy County States Atttorney Jason Helland for highlighting this very valid public safety concerns.Governor Pritzker has released nearly 4,000 inmates and 50 convicted murderers early from prison citing the pandemic as a reason.
The Grundy County State’s Attorney’s Office was notified that a convicted sex offender, Steven Haberkorn, was released early.
Haberkorn was convicted of predatory criminal sexual assault, a class X felony, and was sentenced to a 12 year prison sentence in 2011. The victim was under the age of 13.
Do you think it is appropriate to release a prisoner early from IDOC when their sentence includes possibly being on parole the rest of their life?
The Governor’s early prisoner release scandal is more of a threat to Grundy County residents than the pandemic itself.
Thank you to all of our first responders.As we near National Police Week 2020, we remember those Illinois Police Officers who passed away in the line of duty in 2019.

The ceremony may not take place, but we shall honor and never forget those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
