Minutes for Correction/Approval: January 7, 2021
The minutes were approved as presented.
New Business:
1. PS 2021-05 Monthly Report Review for December 2020 and January 2021
Chief Jensen said he has distributed the annual report with 2020 highlights to the Council
members. He then highlighted the two monthly reports and said the Part I crimes have
sharply increased partly due to the unemployment fraud reports. He also discussed
overtime hours, events, retirements/promotions/new hires, training, number of car crashes
and calls for service. Part II crimes were slightly lower for December. He said crisis
intervention calls are being tracked. No further discussion.
Page 2 of 2
2. PS 2021-06 Adjudication Reports for January and February 2021
There were several cannabis violations for smoking while driving and for underage use.
Chief Jensen said there were also two Building and Zoning issues. No further discussion.
3. PS 2021-07 Approval of FY 22 Vehicle Purchases
Ms. Parker said the Police Department reviews their fleet needs each year and $150,000
per year is budgeted for new vehicles. Two new Explorers are proposed to be ordered
this year at a total cost of $122,000 and a 16-18 week turnaround. They will be equipped
the same as the squad cars and the Chief said light bar equipment is reused at least two
times when possible. This purchase is recommended and this item moves forward to the
City Council meeting on March 9th. Mr. Olson added that a revenue surplus is expected
in 2021 and he recommended purchasing additional items including two more police
vehicles. The committee was in favor of these recommendations.
4. PS 2021-08 Surplus Request for Disposal of Police Vehicles
Ms. Parker said a 2013 Impala with a resale value of $5,000 is ready for disposal. This
will be brought forward to the March 9th City Council agenda.
5. PS 2021-09 Liquor Code Amendment – New License Class – Movie Theater
Mr. Olson said City Clerk Pickering drafted a memo for a new liquor license class and
code amendment in response to an NCG Theater request to sell liquor at the theater.
They had proposed this a few years ago as well. Ms. Pickering said the amendment
would allow beer, wine and liquor sales. Chief Jensen said he considered the
enforcement angle and reached out to other PD's who reported no criminal issues. No
glass bottles will be allowed and contents of a can must be poured into plastic cups.
Alderman Transier inquired about the hours of service. Mr. Jankovic said sales will
begin when the business opens, but would probably not include morning service due to
minimal demand. Mr. Olson recommended approval and to make it effective
immediately. Alderman Frieders suggested waiving the $850 fee in 2021 due to the
pandemic losses for the theater. This moves to the March 23rd Council agenda with
committee approval.
Old Business: None
Additional Business
Alderman Milschewski said there are no curbs/gutters in the older sections of town and
people park in the parkway and on the sidewalks causing a muddy mess. Chief Jensen
will speak with Peter Ratos for a solution.
There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned at 6:32pm on a motion by
Alderman Milschewski and unanimous voice vote.

COMMUNITY POLICING INITIATIVES
Today, Officer Davis completed a Citizen At Risk registration
with our friend Hannah. Thank you for letting us share this
moment, and for being a part of and believing in this program.
#community
This morning one of our Officers was helping children cross the street to one of our
elementary schools. Little did the Officer know the kind of heartfelt thank you he would get.
We appreciate this card more than you will ever know. #community#yorkville
Today, while out on a walk with his owner Bill, Huckleberry decided to work on his K9
training and sniff the exterior of Officer Swanson’s squad car for hidden treats (donuts). He
unfortunately didn’t find any this time. Huckleberry was still excited to show off his skills! Bill
said his 9 month old German Shepherd is in obedience training but Huckleberry wishes he
could be a police K9 one day. Drop a picture of your future police K9’s in the comments!
This evening Officer Jordon got to make some
new friends while on patrol. These kids were
inquisitive and asked many questions about the
flashlights Officers need to carry.

DETECTIVE SQUAD
DETECTIVE SQUAD HIGHLIGHTS
As a School Resource Officer, Ryan Goldsmith is tasked with a variety of responsibilities. These
include, but are not limited to, assisting faculty with maintaining a safe, productive
environment to learn and teach, investigating criminal offenses that occur on school property
and building a strong relationship with students. As the sole member of the police department
currently assigned specifically to the schools, Officer Goldsmith represents the entire police
department to every student in the school district. As a veteran of fifteen years with the
Yorkville Police Department, Officer Goldsmith has a wealth of knowledge from his many years
of service. In March 2021, Officer Goldsmith used that knowledge as a guest speaker in eight
driver’s education classes at the Yorkville High School. When meeting with these classes,
Officer Goldsmith discussed a variety of topics such as seat belt usage, drinking and driving,
Scott’s Law, and what to do when pulled over. As a police officer who has seen the awful
results of serious traffic crashes, Officer Goldsmith was able to present the student’s with a
point of view they may not receive otherwise.
Meanwhile, the other detectives are currently investigating several in depth and lengthy
financial crimes in addition to several theft, sexual abuse / assault, burglary and fraud cases.

FACEBOOK POSTS – CALLS FOR SERVICE/INFORMATIONAL POSTS
On March 27th, 2021 at approximately 4:10pm, the Yorkville Po lice Department began
investigating threatening phone calls made to Ken Com dispatch. Over the course of several
phone calls, the caller threatened to kill police, paramedics and kill a 911 dispatcher. The caller
then proceeded to threaten to “kill the whole city” and that he would start going around the
state of Illinois to shoot people. This same individual proceeded to call and threaten a
business in the 200 block of E. Veterans Parkway. The subject threatened acts of violence
against this business and its employees.
Through the investigation Police were able to secure an arrest warrant for Claude Gauthier

of making a terrorist threat (class X felony) and two counts of falsely making a terrorist threat
(class 1 felony).
On March 28th, 2021 at approximately 12:25am, Claude Gauthier was taken into custody by
the Kendall County Special Response Team at his residence. He was transported to the Kendall
County Jail where he is being held on a 1-million-dollar bond (ten percent to apply).
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.

A new traffic pattern at the Autumn Creek Elementary School was developed and implemented April 14th. This was a collaborative effort between the Yorkville School District, Yorkville Police Department and parents of Autumn Creek to address traffic issues and concerns during parent drop off. Our agency would like to congratulate Community Service Officer Aktabowski on accepting a police officer position out of state. Thank You Carter and best of luck!
OFFICER RECOGNITION: This evening American Legion Post 489 recognized a couple of our officers for their outstanding work. Officer Cory Shepherd is a Marine Corps Veteran. In March Officer Shepherd responded to a residence for a subject not breathing. Upon assessing the scene, he learned the subject had an opiate overdose. By administering Narcan the subject began breathing and made a recovery. Officer Shepherd's efforts were truly heroic. Officer Roman Soebbing is a U.S. Navy veteran. Officer Soebbing coordinated the Polar Plunge for our agency which raised over $3200 for Special Olympics Illinois in March. Additionally, he coordinated a blood drive held at the library. Officer Soebbing is the definition of a public servant always giving back to his community.
A special thank you to our new friends for dropping off some snacks for our officers!

Thank you all for sharing the post to help find his owner!

Upon arrival, Officers learned that Richard Bosse (54 years of age) of the 400 block of Woodworth Street Yorkville, came over to a neighbor’s driveway in the 400 block of Woodworth. During the dispute, Bosse displayed a pistol and pointed the firearm at the individuals present. Officers on scene investigated the incident and arrested Bosse at his residence. Bosse was transported and booked at the Kendall County Jail. He is to appear before a judge to have his bond set. Bosse has been charged with Aggravated Unlawful Use of a Weapon (Class 4 Felony), Aggravated Assault (Misdemeanor), Conceal Carry License Firearm Violation (Misdemeanor) and Disorderly Contact (Misdemeanor). 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. Burglary to Motor Vehicle Just a reminder to lock your car doors overnight and to keep valuables out of site. We did have a burglary to motor vehicle report in the Bristol Bay subdivision.

DETECTIVE SQUAD
DETECTIVE SQUAD HIGHLIGHTS
During the month of April, the Detective Squad completed a variety of investigations in which charges
are pending. These investigations include Unlawful Use of Credit Card, Possession of Lost Credit Card
and Violation of the Sex Offender Registration Act. Warrants are to be issued for the suspect’s in those
cases. A vehicle that was stolen from the 100 block of Fox Street on 4 April was recovered in Rockford,
Illinois on 24 April. Although the vehicle was not occupied at the time of recovery, the suspect has been
identified and the case is being actively investigated. Other cases currently under investigation include,
but are not limited to, Possession of Child Pornography, Criminal Sexual Abuse, Criminal Sexual Assault,
Unlawful Dissemination of Private Sexual Images and two very complex Financial Exploitation of the
Elderly cases. Additionally, detectives performed three random sex offender checks with no violations
being found. In addition to all of their “usual” responsibilities on duty, every member of the Detective
Squad was also focused on preparing for the sergeant’s promotional exam while off duty. The
sergeant’s promotional exam, which requires immense commitment and preparation, did not distract
any member of the squad from their current cases and responsibilities.

Lost Dogs
Update: the owner has been located.
This K9 was located in the Greenbriar subdivision this evening. Please contact YPD at 630 -553-
4343 and help us reunite this K9 with their family.
Update: the owner has been located.
We are happy to share a special story with you regarding last night’s found dog, Zulu. When
being returned to its owner we learned Zulu is a seizure alert dog. The owner, John stated
that Zulu is responsible for alerting him if his son has a seizure during the night. The family
could not be happier that Zulu was returned because now his family will be able to sleep
soundly tonight knowing that Zulu is back on the job. Thank you for letting us share this
story John!

Today, May 11th, 2021, marks 10 years since 6 -year-old Timmothy Pitzen was last seen. To this
day, this remains an on-going and active missing persons investigation by Aurora Police’s
Investigations Division.
Today, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has created a new age progression
image showing what Timmothy might look like today at 16 years old.
Timmothy was six years old when he disappeared on May 11, 2011, after his mother, Amy Pitzen,
unexpectedly picked him up from school. The next day, after no replies to repeated phone calls,
Timmothy’s father reported his wife and son missing. On May 14, 2011, Amy was found deceased
in a motel in Rockford, Illinois and there was no sign of Timmothy. Investigators say Amy
committed suicide and left behind a note indicating that Timmothy would be well taken care of.
“We hope this new age progression will help someone recognize Timm othy,” said Aurora Police
Lead Detective John Munn. “Our investigation remains active and we’re committed to finding
Timmothy.”
Anyone who may have information is asked to call The National Center for Missing & Exploited
Children at 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678) or the Aurora Police Department’s Timmothy
Pitzen Tip Line at (630) 256-5516.

UPDATE on Yorkville Police Department 2021 Crisis Intervention Team
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 outlining our
team’s response to those with suspected mental illness, developmental limitations and those in crisis.
The Department Crisis Intervention Team program has been 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.
