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.

Editorial: Another suicide at CPD and pleas from a police wife: We can do better
www.chicagotribune.com
Another suicide at CPD and pleas from a police wife.
Nice story out of Georgia.We are deeply appreciative to these three inmates for the courage, determination and kindness they displayed when they came to the rescue of our deputy who recently suffered a medical emergency while supervising a jail housing unit.
The inmates noticed our deputy appeared to be feeling poorly as he conducted his security procedures in the housing unit. Although they were locked in their cells, they kept an eye on him as he returned to his seat at the deputy desk, where he lost consciousness and fell onto the concrete floor, splitting his head open.
The inmates whose rooms were close enough to see what was happening began pounding on their doors. Soon the entire unit was thundering with noise as many inmates pounded on the doors shouting for our deputy who lay unconscious and heavily bleeding on the floor.
Our deputy later stated that while he did not realize he'd been unconscious, he became aware of what sounded like pounding drums and could hear inmates shouting his name over and over. He immediately thought an inmate needed help and somehow managed to rise to his feet and press the control panel to open cell doors.
Three inmates rushed out of their rooms to render aid to our deputy, who lost consciousness once again. The inmates sought help with the use of the deputy's desk phone and his radio. Their efforts were successful and help arrived almost immediately. We're happy to report that our deputy survived the harrowing incident and is recovering at home until he can return to duty.
These inmates came to his aid because our deputy, like most law enforcement officers, treats people with the dignity they deserve. These inmates had no obligation whatsoever to render aid to a bleeding, vulnerable deputy, but they didn't hesitate. Many people have strong opinions about law enforcement officers and criminals, but this incident clearly illustrates the potential goodness found in both.
We're proud of our deputy, whose strong desire to serve gave him the strength to activate the door release when he believed an inmate needed his help. In doing so, he released his rescuers. We're proud of them, too. Thank you.
Heart breaking story out of Chicago. Our Police have to deal with a great deal of stress. We should never forget all they do for us.

APD NEWS RELEASE: UNEMPLOYMENT DEBIT CARD SCAM
The Aurora Police Department has received multiple reports from Aurora residents who have received a debit card for unemployment claims they did not file. Most of these reports involve a debit card issued to the victim from KeyBank via the Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES).
According to IDES, unemployment systems across the country are seeing an increase in fraud of unemployment insurance programs during the COVID-19 pandemic. IDES is also working with local and federal law enforcement authorities to investigate, pursue, and prosecute those who are defrauding the unemployment insurance system. According to IDES, an individual who has not filed an unemployment claim but has received a debit card or an unemployment insurance (UI) finding letter in the mail has most likely been the target of fraud. An individual’s personal identifying information being used by fraudsters to file an unemployment claim is likely due to a prior cyber hack or data breach, such as the Equifax breach. It is imperative that individuals take the following steps if they have not filed an unemployment claim and have erroneously received an unemployment debit card or UI finding letter in the mail:
1. Immediately call IDES at 800.814.0513 and when prompted: * Select the English or Spanish language option * Selection option 1 for claimants * Selection option 5 to report identity theft
2. Do not activate the debit card that was mailed to you
3. File a police report with the Aurora Police Department
4. File an online complaint with the Federal Trade Commission at Identitytheft.gov
If you suspect you have been a victim of this scam, please contact the Aurora Police Department at (630) 256-5000 or come to the Aurora Police Department to file a report with our front desk officer.
Keeps getting worse in Chicago. Thank you to our DuPage County law enforcement personnel and our States Attorneys office that do an excellent job protecting DuPage County.

Thank you to our States Attorney Bob Berlin for fighting to keep our streets safe from drunk and/or high drivers. The case referenced in his post is a heartbreaking one that involved the loss of a young girl’s life to an intoxicated driver.After asking for the maximum 14 year sentence but only half of that being handed down by the judge, this tragic case has exposed what I believe to be inadequate sentencing parameters available to the Court that do not equate the loss with the punishment.
Workers in construction zones rightfully enjoy enhanced protection from reckless and drunk drivers, and I believe our children deserve similar, if not stronger, protections. That is why I will be introducing legislation in Beth Dunlap's honor that will further protect our children when going to and leaving school. #RememberBeth #SchoolSafety #PublicSafety #DuPageCounty

This was a terrible crime. Thank you to our States Attorney’s office for bringing justice to the victims family.DuPage County State’s Attorney Robert B. Berlin announced today that James Aydelotte, 23, (d.o.b. 7/1/1997) formerly of Glen Ellyn, has been sentenced to thirty years in the Illinois Department of Corrections (IDOC) for the 2017 murder of forty-nine-year-old John Murray of Glendale Heights. On October 1, 2019, Aydelotte entered a blind plea of guilty the murder in front of Judge Alex McGimpsey, who accepted his plea. In exchange for his guilty plea, the State agreed to cap its sentencing recommendation at forty-five years in the IDOC.
On January 17, 2017, at approximately 6:40 p.m., DuPage County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a 911 call on the 200 block of Mildred lane in unincorporated Glen Ellyn. Upon their arrival, deputies found Murray injured and unresponsive. An investigation into the matter revealed that Murray was visiting with Aydelotte when the two men got into a verbal argument. At some point in time, the argument turned physical with Aydelotte striking Murray in the face. The investigation also found that Aydelotte stomped on Murray’s head and also cut Murray in the leg with a knife. Murray was transported to a local hospital where he passed away from his injuries the following day. Aydelotte was taken into custody at this time and has remained in custody at the DuPage County Jail since on a bond of $4 million with 10% to apply.
“Nearly three-and-a-half years ago, James Aydelotte brutally murdered John Murray,†Berlin said. “After punching him in the face, stabbing him in the leg and stomping on his head, Mr. Aydelotte then lied to authorities claiming Mr. Murray’s injuries were due to a fall down the stairs. This afternoon, Judge McGimpsey gave Mr. Aydelotte a well-earned thirty-year sentence. While the sentenced handed down today will not bring John back to those who loved him, perhaps it will help them in some way as they continue their lives knowing that the man responsible his murder will spend the next three decades of this life behind bars. I would like to thank Assistant State’s Attorneys Kristin Sullivan and Sean Kinsella for their work in holding Mr. Aydelotte responsible for the murder of John Murray.â€
Aydelotte will be required to serve 100% of his sentence before being eligible for parole.
Nice job!

Another hit and run in Aurora. Please contact Aurora PD should you have any information.#APD News Release: MAN KILLED AFTER BEING STRUCK BY TWO VEHICLES IN HIT AND RUN CRASH ON CITY’S EAST SIDE
The Aurora Police Department is investigating after a man was killed after being struck by two vehicles on the city’s east side.
Just before 10:00 p.m., Aurora’s 911 Center received reports of a person struck by a vehicle on Ogden Avenue just west of Long Grove Drive. Aurora Police officers and the Aurora Fire Department arrived on the scene and found a man lying in the roadway. Paramedics attempted to perform lifesaving measures, but unfortunately pronounced the man dead on the scene.
Responding officers immediately began gathering information and learned witnesses saw two vehicles strike the man. The first vehicle pulled off into a nearby parking lot and waited to speak to officers, but the other vehicle fled the scene. Officers are currently following up on leads to locate the second vehicle.
Aurora Police’s Traffic Division responded to the scene to begin conducting an investigation into the crash. Traffic investigators used state-of-the-art drone technology to create a 3D digital map of the scene that allows investigators to see specific details and measurements of the scene.
Ogden Avenue remained closed between South Frontenac Street and Village Green Drive while traffic investigators reconstructed the accident. Emergency Volunteer Service members from Aurora’s Emergency Management Agency provided light trucks and street blockades to assist with road closures and scene lighting.
The investigation into the circumstances of the crash is on-going. Anyone with information about the accident is asked to call the Aurora Police Department’s Traffic Division at 630-256-5330 or call Crime Stoppers at 630-892-1000 to report information anonymously.
Crime Stoppers offers cash rewards up to $5,000 and anonymity to citizens who furnish information leading to the arrest of felony crime offenders and the capture of felony fugitives.
