UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE
PUBLIC SAFETY MEETING
Thursday, November 5, 2020 6:00pm
City Hall Conference Room
800 Game Farm Road, Yorkville, IL
Note: This meeting was held in accordance with Public Act 101-0640 and Gubernatorial
Disaster Proclamation issued by Governor Pritzker pursuant to the powers vested in the
Governor under the Illinois Emergency Management Agency Act. Due to the current
Covid-19 pandemic, The United City of Yorkville is encouraging social distancing by
allowing remote attendance at the Public Safety Committee meeting.
In Attendance:
Chairman Seaver Tarulis, in-person Alderman Daniel Transier, remote
Alderman Jackie Milschewski, remote
Absent: Joel Frieders
Other City Officials in Attendance:
City Administrator Bart Olson, remote Alderman Chris Funkhouser, remote
Police Chief Jim Jensen, in-person Purchasing Manager Carri Parker, remote
Others in Attendance: none
The meeting was called to order at 6:00pm by Chairman Seaver Tarulis and a quorum
was established.
Citizen Comments: None
Minutes for Correction/Approval: September 3, 2020
The minutes were approved as presented.
New Business:
1. PS 2020-25 Monthly Report Review for August and September 2020
Chief Jensen reported on overtime hours (part of which was reimbursed), training hours,
traffic crash data and in particular, the location of many crashes at Schoolhouse Rd. and
Rt. 47. Chief Jensen and Eric Dhuse are collaborating on this issue. Also reported were
citations/warnings issued, Part I and II data, calls for service and traffic details. He noted
that overall, gas usage and mileage were down.
Page 2 of 3
2. PS 2020-26 Adjudication Reports for September and October 2020
The Chief reported on multiple tickets issued for Cozy Spa and two dog incidents. No
further discussion.
3. PS 2020-27 Accreditation Discussion
This topic was brought forward for discussion and feedback. Chief Jensen was involved
in the accreditation of the Oswego Police Department and said less than 6% of police
agencies in the U.S. have this honor and only 4% have accreditation with distinction.
One of his goals is accreditation for the Yorkville Police Department. He said the
process is long and expensive and there are accreditations both through the state and
nationally. National accreditation standards are inspected every 3 years, while the state is
on a 4-year cycle. If issues are found, the department is allowed to correct them. These
programs require a department to meet many standards. He said only 42 agencies in the
state are accredited. He added that the new city hall/police facility will help meet the
standards, but it could take 1-3 years to obtain initial accreditation.
Alderman Transier asked about the benefits of state vs. national accreditation. A memo
in the packet lists the various advantages and also the standards for being accredited. The
budget already includes funding, but Chief Jensen said it would be best to wait for the
transition to the new building.
4. PS 2020-28 Surplus Request for Disposal of Police Vehicles
In March, the Council authorized the purchase of a new squad. It will be received in a
couple weeks and will be designated for patrol. Ms. Parker said it is recommended to
send an old vehicle, a 2014 Caprice, to auction. The committee was OK with this and the
item moves forward to the City Council.
Old Business:
1. PS 2020-15 E-Citation Implementation
a. Intergovernmental Agreement with Kendall County Circuit Clerk
b. Agreement with KenCom for Purchase of Additional Tyler/New World
Products – Brazos Electronic Citation Software Program
The Chief said this item was tabled earlier due to Covid and budget concerns. It is being
brought forward now for approval. Automation and Technology had been identified as
a 2020 Council goal. Currently CAD and a records management system are housed in
KenCom and the new E-Citation/Brazos will combine both of these systems. He gave an
example how it would work for officers in the field and said the system will print a
warning/citation in the squad car and the citation will also be uploaded into the Circuit
Clerk's office. The Chief cited the number of hours of saved time and paper with this
system.
He said the cost is $48,230 for 15 printers and 2 handheld devices and the Clerk's office
will reimburse the police $21,900 of that amount. The total cost to the city is $26,330
which is budgeted. There is also an annual maintenance cost of $1,366 which will be
shared with the Clerk's office. KenCom also holds the contract for the New World
software and because of this partnership, an IGA was drafted by the Chief and City
Page 3 of 3
Attorney Orr. Alderman Transier asked if part of the cost will be transferred to offenders
or if the Clerk's office will add a fee on the offender. Chief Jensen will research, though
he knows the state has limited the fines and fees based on citations. The committee
recommended approval of this purchase and it moves to City Council.
Additional Business
Chairman Tarulis asked about police officers' reactions to the new building being
purchased for city hall and the police department. The Chief said many officers have a
very favorable opinion of this purchase and took tours of the building the day after the
purchase.
There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned at 6:49pm.

Traffic Crash Information
Here at the Yorkville Police Department, Traffic Safety is one of our primary concerns. We will start
posting traffic tips, concerns, and beneficial information on a regular basis. Please feel free to like,
comment, and share these posts to help spread the word on vehicle and traffic safety and to help keep
the community stay safe on our roadways.
This year, the highest volume of traffic crashes to date in Yorkville occurred at the intersection of Rt.
126 and Rt. 47. There were 25 crashes at this location. A majority of these crashes were rear-end
collisions for vehicles waiting to turn right on red. As a friendly reminder, avoid following too closely
and ensure the vehicle in front of you has cleared the intersection prior to moving forward.
Be on the lookout for more posts and helpful tips regarding traffic safety!
St. Patrick’s Church
A special thank you to Father Matt and St. Patrick’s Church for the prayer card and St. Michael medal.
All of our Officers were provided with this thoughtful gift.
Fraud and Scams
Officer Jeka and the Yorkville Police Department would like to provide some helpful tips on how to
avoid falling victim to scams.
Gift cards are a way to give someone a gift this upcoming holiday season. This is also a popular way
for scammers to steal from you. Gift cards are just like cash. If you buy a gift card and someone uses
it most likely you cannot get your money back. Gift cards are GIFTS, never a payment method.
Anyone who demands payment with a gift card via telephone, text, email, or mail this is often a
scam.
Imposters will ask you to pay with gift cards. The most common tactic they use is to pressure you
into a sense of urgency to send money right away. Imposters will often tell you to buy a popular gift
card from box stores. Once the card is purchased, the scammer demands the PIN on the back of the
card. Once they have done that the money is gone and often without a trace.
Popular scams include
• Imposters informing you you've won a prize, often one you've probably never entered. However
first they require a gift card to pay the prize fee.
• An Imposter from a utility company threating you to turn off your water, electric, or internet.
However, they will keep your utility's on with a gift card payment.
• Tech support requesting payment with a gift card to fix your computer. (Be cautions of installing
ransom ware on your computer and make sure it is from a trusted source.)
• The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or a Law Enforcement agency threating to arrest you, unless
you pay with a gift card.
• Buying an item online where the scammer sends you a check for a large amount of money over
your asking price "accidentally". The scammer asks you to give the difference back to them on a gift
card. The check you cashed, will turn out to fake.
The Yorkville Police department welcomes you to contact us if you are unsure of the legitimacy of
the situation.
Motor Vehicle Theft
On October 17th, 2020 at approximately 4:30 am the Yorkville Police Department was notified of a
vehicle theft from a garage in the 700 block of Morgan Street. In this incident the vehicle, a 2003
Chevrolet Trailblazer was left running in the garage of a residence prior to being taken.
At approximately 4:36 am our Officers were dispatched to a business in the 2000 block of S. Bridge
Street regarding a suspicious person call for service. Subsequently, the previously mentioned stolen
vehicle was recovered, as it was found in a ditch in the 7000 block of S. Bridge Street.
At approximately 4:40 am Yorkville PD was advised of a single vehicle accident that had already
occurred in the 1000 block of South Main Street. During this incident, a 1999 GMC Sonoma
sustained heavy front-end damage. The vehicle remained on scene, but the driver had left the
scene of the accident prior to police arrival. Through an on-scene investigation at the suspicious
person call for service, Police were able to verify that the individual involved in the accident in the
1000 block of S. Main Street was Griffin K. Gillespie (18 years of age) of the 13000 block of
Timberwood Circle, Plainfield, IL. Gillespie was taken into custody regarding numerous driving
offenses including Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol.
Through further investigation, Police were able to verify that Gillespie had driven the previously
mentioned stolen vehicle, which was recovered in the 7000 block of S. Bridge Street.
Gillespie has been charged with the following: Theft of Motor Vehicle (Class 2 felony), Trespass to
vehicle (Class A misdemeanor) Driving under the Influence of Alcohol (two sperate counts), Illegal
transportation of alcohol, operating an uninsured vehicle, Improper lane usage and Failure to
reduce speed to avoid an accident. He is currently in custody at the Kendall County Jail.
Charges are not proof of guilt. The defendant listed in this release is presumed innocent and is
entitled to a fair trial, at which it is the burden of the State to prove guilt beyond a reasonable
doubt.
Aggravated Assault
On 10/11/20 at approximately 10:43am, Yorkville Police Department with the assistance of the
Kendall County Sheriff's Office responded to the area of Autumn Creek Blvd and Orchid St.
regarding suspicious activity. Police were informed by the reporting person , a vehicle pulled up and
pointed an object at him. At that point the caller heard three "pops" and the vehicle departed.
There has been no physical evidence recovered that can substantiate a firearm was used at this
point. The vehicle was located a short distance later unoccupied. Responding officers located in
plain view, what appears to be a paintball gun in the back seat of the offending vehicle. The vehicle
has been secured by police for this pending investigation. If you have any information, please
contact the Yorkville Police Department at 630-553-4343.
Aggravated Discharge of a Firearm
On October 5th, 2020 at approximately 6:57pm, the Yorkville Police Department responded to a
residence in the 1400 block of Orchid Street regarding the report of multiple gun shots fired. Police
located multiple shell casings and made contact with an area resident. It was discovered that a
home sustained damage. There have been no injuries reported and Police are on scene
investigating. We are asking the public to contact us at 630-553-4343 with any information.

On this day in 2016 history was made. The Chicago Cubs were crowned World Series Champions. Have a great day friends! – Sorry had to do this for all you White Sox Fans.
Frauds and Scams The Yorkville Police Department would like to inform our residents of a current trend regarding fraudulent activity and identity theft. We have had many reports of fictitious unemployment claims. We encourage our residents to take some precautionary measures that could prevent you from becoming a victim or could help you catch things early on.
• Please check your bank account records to make sure you have not been compromised.
• Do not share personal information on social media.
• Beware of telephone calls or emails from unverified individuals seeking private information.
• Conduct a credit check and look for suspicious activity. Per the FBI, many victims of identity theft related to unemployment insurance claims do not know they have been targeted until they try to file a claim for unemployment insurance benefits, receive a notification from the state unemployment insurance agency, receive an IRS Form 1099-G showing the benefits collected from unemployment insurance, or get notified by their employer that a claim has been filed while the victim is still employed.
Traffic Safety According to the National Safety Council, cell phone use while driving accounts for 1.6 million crashes per year. Just as a reminder, unless your electronic device is used handsfree • It is illegal to use an electronic device at any time while driving or while at a stop light • In addition to voice calling, activities such as texting, web browsing, playing video games, or phone use in general all contribute to distracted driving
• Tips to keep drivers safe • Avoid being tempted by putting the cell phone out of sight-such as in the center console • Place phone on “do not disturb” or set an “auto reply” message for when driving • If you cannot avoid texting, please pull over in a safe and legal location prior to using the device.
Traffic Safety Campaign With one of the busiest travel times of the year just around the corner, the Yorkville Police Department is reminding motorists to buckle up and drive sober to ensure that everyone gets to the Thanksgiving table safely. While we believe that the majority will follow these traffic laws and are compliant, we wanted to let you know about our upcoming efforts in our attempt to make sure everyone has a safe holiday! “On regular days and holidays alike, law enforcement too often see the results of driving impaired and not wearing a seat belt,” said Deputy Chief Mikolasek. “They are both tragic and preventable. Whether you’re driving cross-country or across the street, please remember to wear your seat belt and make a plan for a sober ride home.” Throughout the year, many traffic deaths and injuries could be prevented with the click of a seat belt or the choice to designate a sober driver. More than 30% of motor vehicle crash fatalities in Illinois involve an alcohol-impaired driver, and data shows drug-involved driving is on the rise.
To combat these trends, the Yorkville Police Department is joining the Illinois Department of Transportation, the Illinois State Police and local law enforcement agencies in a statewide effort to save lives by stepping up enforcement of seat belt and impaired driving laws. Motorists will see this increase in safety patrols from Nov. 20 over the holiday weekend through the early morning hours of Nov. 30. We would like to thank all of our safe and compliant drivers in advance. The Thanksgiving enforcement effort is made possible by federal traffic safety funds administered by IDOT as part of the statewide Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over and Click It or Ticket campaigns.
Traffic Crash Safety This week tends to be one of the busiest weeks of the year for travel. People are traveling for the holiday and are shopping. We want to encourage the public to do a few things; put the cell phone down, don't drive tired and don't drive intoxicated. Below are pictures from a traffic accident from earlier this year. The driver of the vehicle sustained minor non-life threatening injuries. The cause of this crash was a tired driver. We want to thank the driver for allowing us to educate the public on how dangerous driving tired is by giving us permission to share these photos. We wish you all a safe and happy Thanksgiving.
A huge thank you to the Circle Center Grade School PTO and Yorkville Intermediate School PTO for the donation of pie and sweets!
On this beautiful fall day Community Service Officer Shapiama was able to meet some new friends while on neighborhood patrol!
Happy Veterans Day. We are thankful for all who have served. At YPD we have veterans who served in the Marine Corps, Navy and Army.
Citizens Police Academy Graduation Congratulations to our Citizens Police Academy class on their graduation. This group dedicated 10 Wednesday nights to learning about the functions of our Agency and the policing profession. What a great group. We look forward to hosting our next class in 2021.
Chief Jensen and the Yorkville Police Department would like to congratulate Officer Dale Arentsen on his recent retirement from the Yorkville Police Department. Officer Arentsen has served as a part time Patrol Officer since December of 1992. He served this community with honor and dedication. Officer Arentsen passionately served as a Motor Officer and devoted many hours to community policing. We are grateful for your years of service and wish you a happy retirement Dale! -Your YPD family
Business Thank You: A special thank you to 360 Hazardous for the complimentary squad car sanitation. Several of our patrol vehicles were sanitized today to help keep our officers and community safe!
Thank you to our friends at the Yorkville Home Depot for providing Panera Bread for lunch today!
HOLIDAY CELEBRATION: What a special weekend. Thank you to the United City of Yorkville Parks and Recreation Department. There was a Drive by Santa, Drive In Christmas Tree Lighting and Fireworks! #Yorkvillecommunity
HAPPY THANKSGIVING: This Thanksgiving, we’re thankful for the support of our residents, business owners, and the City Council. The generosity, kind notes, and gestures have not gone unnoticed. A few weeks ago, Officer Robbie Hart mentioned an initiative our Police Department could take this Thanksgiving to return the favor to the community. He mentioned providing meals for those in need. As this idea became reality, our team picked Upper Crust Catering to provide the meals. Not sure if you have ever had Upper Crust – it’s amazing. As we advertised this opportunity among our team members, we saw the generosity of our staff, as they were able to donate enough to purchase 45 individual meals. But it didn’t just end there – some of our staff including our midnight shift Officers came in during their own time to drop off the meals. Although this was a pilot effort this year, we
hope to make this into a great tradition. We had the privilege to make some of the phone calls to the recipients – the gratitude and emotion was humbling from those accepting the meals. This year, we focused primarily on our senior residents, but also to those who have medical issues or are in need. We understand this year’s Thanksgiving will be different for many, and we hope we can help. Happy Thanksgiving!
CROSS LUTHERAN CHURCH (Thank You): The Yorkville Police Department night shift would like to thank the Cross Lutheran Church group who brought our officers an amazing Thanksgiving dinner. We hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving as much as we did.

On 11 November 2020, the entire Detective Squad assisted the Kendall County Sheriffs
Department on a homicide investigation in Boulder Hill. During that investigation, members of
the Detective Squad assisted with canvassing the neighborhood, evidence
identification/collection and the drafting of search warrants.
On 24 November 2020, the Detective Squad conducted compliance checks for business with
licensed to sell packaged alcohol products. Three business were found to be in violation and

Program. Discussion/Informational Item Only.
Summary
Yorkville Police Department 2021 Crisis Intervention Team Program
Background
One of our department goals for 2020 was to research and develop a Crisis Intervention Team.
Throughout the year we have been researching programs from around the area and around the country,
gathering data, developing relationships with team partners and training our staff. We have developed
our mission and core focus of our Crisis Intervention Program along with written policies (Exhibit A &
B) outlining our team’s response to those with suspected mental illness, developmental limitations and
those in crisis. The Department Crisis Intervention Team program will be fully operational January 1,
2021.
CIT Mission
The Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) is a partnership between the Yorkville Police Department working
with mental health consumers and family members. Our collective goal is to champion dignity and
compassion for those experiencing mental health crisis and those with developmental limitations. CIT
will exist to assist citizens to normalize and understand their physical and emotional reactions to mental
health crisis and developmental limitations. CIT officers will be part of a specialized team, which can
respond to a crisis at any time and will work with the community to assist in progressing physical and
emotional recovery from crisis events.

YORKVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT
Crisis Intervention Team (CIT)
SUBJECT: Crisis Intervention Team (CIT)
EFFECTIVE DATE: TBD
DISTRIBUTION: All Personnel
REVIEW DATE: January 1, 2020
Purpose: This order identifies and implements the role of the Yorkville Police Department’s Crisis
Intervention Team and its goal to improve the Department’s response to incidents involving persons who
are known or thought to have a mental illness, developmental limitations, or who may be in crisis.
Policy: The need to recognize the dynamics of crisis management for those with mental illness and
developmental limitations are routine requirements of employees performing enforcement and
investigative functions. Working with individuals in crisis or enforcement situations with persons who are
known or thought to have emotional or mental illness and developmental limitations requires an employee
to have the knowledge and skill to assist the person effectively and appropriately.
Mission Statement: The Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) is a partnership between the Yorkville Police
Department working with mental health consumers and family members. Our collective goal is to
champion dignity and compassion for those experiencing mental health crisis and those with
developmental limitations. CIT will exist to assist citizens to normalize and understand their physical and
emotional reactions to mental health crisis and developmental limitations. CIT officers will be part of a
specialized team, which can respond to a crisis at any time and will work with the community to assist in
progressing physical and emotional recovery from crisis events.
Vision Statement: A partnership between the Yorkville Police Department and community where
people in mental health crisis and those with developmental limitations find safety, help and hope.
To achieve this purpose, the Department will create a Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) consisting of
specially trained employees working with the Kendall County Health Department, and other local
resources to respond to incidents involving persons who are known or thought to have mental illness and
persons who are known or thought to have developmental limitations or who may be in crisis, in order to
reduce the number of repeat calls requiring public safety resources, to help de-escalate the potential
volatility of the circumstance, and to connect the person to appropriate services.
This Policy will be comprised of the following sections:
I. Definitions
II. Team Structure
III. Team Selection
IV. Procedures
V. De-Escalation
VI. Mutual Aid Requests
VII. Training
VIII. Documentation
IX. Compliance

Police Department employee designated to direct and coordinate the purpose and
activities of the CIT. This is a collateral duty within the Department.
C. Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Core Group: A group that will be responsible for the
direction and supervision of the CIT. The group will have representation from Patrol,
Command, and Support Services. The CIT core group shall meet on a regular basis.
D. Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Officer: A sworn officer who has successfully

the CIT.
E. Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Stakeholders Group: Persons or organizations who

G. Mental Illness Crisis: A situation where a person’s normal coping mechanisms have
become overwhelmed causing the person to pose an immediate and significate risk to
himself/herself or others.
H. Mental Illness: A mental or emotional disorder that substantially impairs a person’s
thought, perception of reality, emotional process, judgement, behavior, or ability to cope
with the ordinary demands of life, but does not include a developmental disability,
dementia or Alzheimer’s disease absent psychosis, a substance abuse disorder, or an
abnormality manifested only by repeated criminal or otherwise anti-social conduct (405
ILCS 5/1-129).
I. Developmental Limitations: In general, a severe chronic disability of an individual that
is attributable to a mental or physical impairment or combination of mental and physical
impairments, manifested before the person attains age 22, is likely to continue
indefinitely, results in substantial functional limitations in 3 or more of the following
areas of major life activity: self-care, receptive and expressive language, learning,
mobility, self-direction, capacity for independent living, and economic sufficiency; and
reflects the person’s need for a combination and sequence of special interdisciplinary or
generic services care, individualized supports, or other forms of assistance that are life
long or extend duration and are individually planned and coordinated (20 ILCS
4010/2002).
J. Cognitive Impairment: For the purpose of this policy, persons living with cognitive
impairment (i.e. Dementia, Alzheimer’s) will be included alongside those with mental
illness and developmental limitations for services provided by CIT officers.
II. TEAM STRUCTURE
A. The Department shall operate a CIT in order to respond to persons known or thought to
have mental illness or who may be in crisis and those with developmental limitations. It
shall consist of a CIT coordinator, sworn CIT officers, non-sworn CIT support
employees, and a CIT core group. In addition to the CIT, there shall be a CIT
stakeholders group of persons and organizations in the community.
III. TEAM SELECTION
A. CIT Officer: A Yorkville Police Officer who has successfully completed certified crisis
intervention training.
B. CIT Support Employee: The CIT coordinator selects support employees. The member
must exhibit good judgement, interact well with the public, and have received satisfactory
Department performance evaluations.
C. CIT Coordinator: The Chief of Police or designee shall select the CIT Coordinator.
IV. PROCEDURES
A. CIT officers shall not assume unreasonable risk of injury while interacting with a person
with mental illness or developmental limitations. The CIT officer shall use his/her best
judgement and follow safety procedures and legal protocols when intervening. The CIT
officer’s response shall be in accordance with Yorkville Police Department policy 319 –
Mental Health Protocol.
B. Whenever possible, a CIT officer will be assigned to incidents involving an individual
who is suspected or known to have a mental illness while in crisis or those with
developmental limitations. A supervisor may assign a CIT officer to a call for service if
there is a reasonable belief that the person in crisis may benefit from the CIT officer’s
specialized training and knowledge.
1. Intervention – Following an assessment of the individual and situation, if it is
ascertained that a CIT response is needed, the CIT officer will follow through with
one of the following:
a. Informal – If there is no imminent danger to self or others, allowing the
individual to seek treatment in accordance with the individual’s treatment
schedule. This may include referral to the Kendall County Health
Department or other local resources. Case management may also be used,
e.g. de-escalation techniques and subsequent follow up.
b. Formal – Petition for commitment to a mental health treatment facility.
c. Criminal Arrest – The actions of the subject in crisis fulfill the elements of
a criminal offense and the person is arrested. This intervention should
consider other types of dispositions including mental health court and other
diversion programs.
C. Following the initial incident, the case shall be referred to the CIT coordinator for follow
up cases to CIT officers as appropriate. The assigned CIT officer shall follow up the case
in accordance with Department policy and CIT training, and document the follow up
actions in a Supplemental Report or by utilizing CAD notes.
V. DE-ESCALATION
A. Absent an imminent threat to the public, Officers should consider that taking no action or
passively monitoring the situation may be the most reasonable response to a mental
health crisis. Consider strategic disengagement which may, as circumstances dictate,
include removing or reducing law enforcement or other responding resources. CIT
officers should avoid confrontation in favor of utilizing distance, cover, and time to
pursue a positive outcome.
B. Once it is determined that a situation is a mental health crisis and immediate safety
concerns have been addressed, responding members should be aware of the following
considerations and should generally:
2. Evaluate safety conditions.
3. Introduce themselves and attempt to obtain the person’s name.
4. Remain calm, confident, firm.
5. Be patient, polite, courteous and avoid overreacting.
6. Speak and move slowly and in a non-threatening manner.
7. Moderate the level of direct eye contact and give distance.
8. Remove distractions or disruptive people from the area.
9. Demonstrate active listening skills (e.g. summarize the person’s verbal
communication).
10. Get on their level – do not compromise officer safety, utilize cover officer.
11. Avoid joking, negative reactions.
12. Don’t take what they say personal.
13. Provide for sufficient avenues of retreat or escape should the situation become
volatile.
14. Avoid stances or tactics that can be interpreted as aggressive.
15. Avoid allowing others to interrupt or engage the person.
16. Avoid cornering a person who is not believed to be armed, violent or suicidal.
17. Don’t argue, speak with a raised voice, use threats or use deception to obtain
compliance.
VI. MUTUAL AID REQUESTS
A. CIT officers may respond to the request of an outside law enforcement agency for a
person with mental illness/developmental limitations in crisis if the person would benefit
from the skills, knowledge and ability. CIT officers will only respond following the
formal request from the outside agency.
B. When responding in this capacity, the CIT officer will act in a complementary manner to
the requesting agency.

The Citizens at Risk (C.A.R) Program will be open to all residents of Yorkville, including school
district #115 students and those that attend any private school, pre-school, or day care within the
city limits. This is a voluntary, proactive, assistance program intended to identify residents that
may become confused, disorientated, missing or lost. C.A.R is designed to assist officers in
gathering first hand information for quicker dissemination to other officers, as well as other
police departments, for citizens with special needs or care. C.A.R will allow parents, children of
senior parents, or seniors of sound mind to register with the Yorkville Police Department creating
a record for that person in the event that person is lost, missing and could be in danger or easy
prey for criminals due to special needs.
II. Procedures:
A. The initial C.A.R. application will be readily accessible at the Yorkville Police Department. It
also can be mailed to any person interested in the program. Once completed and received at

paperwork.
3. A picture of the at-risk resident, their name, date of birth, physical description, and
other pertinent information will be collected to be maintained in an in-house
computer system.
C. The Records division will maintain C.A.R files. The completed application and associated
paperwork will be on file until such time as participation is no longer requested. After
receiving notification of non-participation, the serialized bracelet will be returned.
Participants, or their responsible party, will be required to provide the department with
updated information regarding the at-risk resident.
D. The Missing Person policy guidelines and procedures will be followed for all reported
missing persons. The C.A.R. program is to be utilized as a tool to assist if possible.

responding officer about participation in C.A.R and the corresponding C.A.R.
identification number.

Yorkville Police Department Adoption of 10 Shared Principles
Public Safety Committee – January 7, 2021

James Jensen Chief of Police
Name Department
Discussion of the 10 Shared Principles through the NAACP and the Illinois
Association of Chiefs of Police.
Summary
Discussion of the 10 Shared Principles through the NAACP and the Illinois Association of
Chiefs of Police.
Background
In March of 2018 the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police (ILACP) and the Illinois NAACP
announced a resolution of shared principles that are designed to bridge the gap of mistrust between
police and communities of color. The first of its kind in our nation’s history, the agreement between the
NAACP and a statewide law enforcement agency identifies the common ground between local law
enforcement and communities of color in their commitment to and passion for defending civil rights and
keeping communities safe.
In June of 2020, Chief Jensen signed the Affirmation of Shared Principles with the Illinois
Association of Chiefs of Police recognizing the Yorkville Police Department as one of the 251 Illinois
Law Enforcement agencies adopting the 10 shared principles. Training is being provided to the
members of the Yorkville Police Department, both sworn and civilian, and the signed 10 Shared
Principles resolution will be hung in the lobby of the Yorkville Police Department announcing our
commitment to bridging the gap of mistrust between police and communities of color.
Recommendation
