Preckwinkle Suburban Visit
excerpt from Article in Daily Herald:
Suburban leaders expressed many other concerns and Preckwinkle was urged by area police chiefs to keep the lockup at the Cook County Circuit Court in Rolling Meadows open 24 hours a day.
“When we're laying off police officers and not hiring those lost to attrition, taking a fully trained policeman off the street to have him sit in a chair in the jail all night long in front of a prisoner behind bars, it's a cost we can ill afford,” said Mike Alsup, chief of police at Harper College and president of the North Suburban Association of Chiefs of Police.
Alsup later said he understands the challenge that presents to Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart in light of Preckwinkle's call for all county departments to trim 21 percent off their budgets.
Murphy said local law enforcement departments are willing to take turns providing someone to supervise the lockup overnight.
The sheriff's department is willing to continue talks with the chiefs and might be able to work out an intergovernmental agreement, Dart spokesman Steve Patterson said. However, collective bargaining and liability issues must be considered.
The court lockup in Rolling Meadows accepts arrestees from suburban agencies from about 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays, Patterson said. Detainees who do not post bond are transferred to the county jail at 26th and California in Chicago.
The sheriff's department already does not have enough court deputies to cover all the court rooms in the suburbs and at the Daley Center in Chicago, Patterson added. In fact, Dart has proposed doing away with the Saturday suburban bond courts.
Preckwinkle said after the meeting that it was the first she had heard of the chiefs' request, but she would look into it.
