Due to the ongoing 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 Dan Transier/electronic attendance Alderman Seaver Tarulis/in-person Alderman Craig Soling/in-person Absent: Alderman Marek (attending Public Works meeting) Other City Officials in Attendance: Police Chief Jim Jensen/in-person Others in Attendance: None The meeting was called to order at 6:02pm by Chairman Dan Transier. Citizen Comments: None Minutes for Correction/Approval: March 3, 2022 The minutes were approved as presented. New Business: 1. PS 2022-13 Monthly Reports Review for February 2022 - March 2022 Chief Jensen reported on February overtime, participation in Special Olympics, Valor Awards given at a City Council meeting and a Facebook post about a high school altercation. The Department honored a trooper on the anniversary of his death--he was on duty at the time of death. His son is a Yorkville police officer. Chief Jensen said significant time was spent on recruiting in February. He said last year there were over 100 applications and only 50 this year. He also reported on training hours, Part I and II crimes, the areas of traffic focus and he said written citations increased. Crisis intervention calls were down from 2021 and overall, incidents were down from February last year. Page 2 of 3 In March, there were reimbursed overtime hours, Polar Plunge participation and a focus on Facebook posts. Officer Goldsmith was recognized for his assistance with a program at the intermediate school. Facebook posts were started in March for Autism Awareness month in April. Chief Jensen said there were also several lost dog posts. Alderman Tarulis commented that the police response for lost dogs is much improved over several years ago when he received complaints that police did not respond well for these calls. There were 396 hours of training and many traffic stops for speeding on the major roads. Alderman Soling asked if the stops were in the morning or afternoon and he said he receives many calls about speeding violations on Rt. 34. Information about the time of day was not available, though Chief Jensen said many are during the rush hours. Chairman Transier asked if the cars can be towed if the tickets are written as misdemeanors and Chief Jensen will research. Alderman Soling asked about fraud cases such as bank accounts being compromised. The Chief said most of the cases involve out-of-state or out-of-country fraudsters. Mr. Soling also thanked the Chief for assistance with installation of a stop sign at Pleasure and Sunset. Alderman Soling said high school students cut through the subdivision to avoid Game Farm Road and there is a blind corner at Sunset causing near miss accidents. Also in March, many background investigations were done for liquor licenses. The Chief reported on Part I and II crimes, both down from last year, while crisis intervention calls were up from February. 2. PS 2022-14 Adjudication Reports for March and April 2022 Chief Jensen said in March, there were several parking tickets written after a 2-inch snowfall. Public Works is unable to plow when cars are parked on the street. Most were found liable with two dismissed. There was also a Disorderly Conduct at the Middle school and an alcohol sales to minor in April. 3. PS 2022-15 Fiscal Year 2023 Hiring Update The Chief thanked the Committee/Council for approving a 33rd officer--they are at 31 now. He shared the numbers for persons who applied and tested for officer positions and noted the low number of applications here and across the country. The Chief said other departments are offering higher salaries and also signing bonuses to attract candidates and Yorkville cannot compete with that. He is also considering a lateral movement program. He said plans for future retirements should be starting now and he will present a plan for consideration. Alderman Soling asked about part-time officers as a solution. The Chief said they have a part- time program, but no hours for it because of all the training requirements. There is also a liability. There are 3 Community Service Officers who work special events and are called in during snow days. An existing Citizens Police Academy Program has many participants who are now older and leaving the program. He hopes to start another one. 4. PS 2022-16 License Plate Recognition Update Chief Jensen said this topic is somewhat controversial. Yorkville voted no regarding the license plate recognition (LPR) system, but other towns covered in the multi-jurisdictional KenCom dispatch center voted for the system. The system is operational, however, Yorkville chose to not Page 3 of 3 have cameras in the city. If a major crime occurred that could be solved by using the system, Yorkville would have a choice to use the LPR. It would only be used for serious felony crimes and must be authorized by the command staff. The Detective Sergeant could be given access with the permission of the command staff, however, the patrol officers will not have access. When access is granted, a reason code must be given and the reasons will be audited every 60 days. The Inter-Governmental Agreement must be signed in order to retrieve data when needed. The Chief requested permission from the committee and Council for approval. Alderman Tarulis said he has mixed feelings, but added that it is a tool and he will approve using it. Other committee members were OK with approving it as well and this will move to the consent agenda. 5. PS 2022-17 Community Emergency Services and Support Act & 988 Illinois Suicide Prevention Hotline Update The 9-8-8 and CESSA programs are two separate entities. The 9-8-8 is similar to 9-1-1 and is a suicide prevention hotline to provide mental health support, guidance and resources. The program was mandated by the state and some funds have already been diverted from the 9-1-1 surcharge. The Chief predicts the KenCom fees might be increasing because of this diversion. CESSA is a mental health response team that will respond, instead of police, to calls for mental health assistance. If someone calls 9-1-1, that operator will be trained to ask the appropriate questions to determine the caller's needs and who should handle the call. The CESSA Act does not want police responding unless there is a threat. There is currently a mental health team in place in Kane County funded by a state grant and they are responding to multiple calls each days. Chief Jensen said his department had 144 mental health calls last year and 94-96 commitals. He said the police department and other emergency responding agencies are seeking more information since this was to have taken effect July 1, but has been pushed back to the end of the year Alderman Soling noted that officers have typically responded to EMS calls or fire department calls. If it is determined that intervention is needed, all personnel need to know what action is should be taken. Much more information is needed at this time. Old Business: None Additional Business: None There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned at 6:49pm.

Reviewed By: Legal Finance Engineer City Administrator Community Development Purchasing Police Public Works Parks and Recreation Agenda Item Number New Business #3 Tracking Number PS 2022-20 Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation Program (ILEAP) Accreditation Public Safety Committee – July 7, 2022 None Informational James Jensen Chief of Police Name Department Summary Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation Program (ILEAP) for the Yorkville Police Department Background The Yorkville Police Department will begin the law enforcement accreditation process in July of this year. Specifically, we will begin the Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation Program (ILEAP). Accreditation is a process in which an agency is evaluated on compliance with a set of prescribed standards established by an accrediting body. These prescribed standards are related to life, health and safety procedures following best practice standards in law enforcement. These standards are considered foundational for contemporary law enforcement agencies and provides the framework for addressing high risk issues within the agency. Refer to Exhibit A for an Accreditation Standard Example. The benefits of State or National Accreditation are many: 1. Increased Community Advocacy: Pursuing accreditation tells your community that professionalism and high performance are important to your agency. You demonstrate that you’re willing to invest in your department to ensure the service delivered by your officers are par none. Beyond any implicit direction some of the accredited policies explicitly direct agencies to develop community groups. 2. Staunch Support from Governmental Officials: Identifying and aligning an organization around effective policies is challenging (or else accreditation wouldn’t exist) due to the many unavoidable interpersonal dynamics at play. Having a third-party available to spot-check your department on best practices attracts the support of government officials because it streamlines an added layer of accountability. Instead of relying on intuition or inherited wisdom, you can manage your department and mitigate risk using validated policies. 3. Stronger Defense Against Civil Lawsuits: A lot of civil litigation can be summed up in a phrase on the tip of many a parent’s tongue: you should’ve known better. In trying to determine whether or not an agency can be found liable, it’s not uncommon for attorneys to look at existing policy. If your agency’s policies resulted from ad-hoc gut decisions over the years, it’s harder for you to demonstrate you or your officer did the right thing given the circumstances. However, your defense is stronger if you can show you complied with guidelines issued by an accreditor like ILEAP. It shows your agency has made an investment in professionalism and performance to ensure against the likelihood of receiving claims of negligence. 4. Reduced Risk and Liability Exposure: Accreditation policies like ILEAP’s are written to reduce the likelihood of a negative outcome. By structuring your agency’s policies around ILEAP’s, you are leveraging its collective experience which ensures you minimize blind spots and maintain awareness of best practices. 5. Greater Accountability within the Agency: It’s easier to hold someone accountable when you have an objective standard to point to. Instead of relying on hierarchy to move personnel in your desired direction, accreditation provides a blueprint that gets you there without slowing down to defend every decision. You’ll likely still receive pushback from your officers, but a goal of accreditation is a lot easier to accept than a one-off policy change for a single department. Accreditation is like any system; it moves the decision-making impetus away from you. That’s why it’s critical to have a good system in place. Memorandum To: Public Safety Committee From: James Jensen, Police Chief CC: Date: July 7, 2022 Subject: ILEAP Accreditation The Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation Program (ILEAP) is supported and sponsored by the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police and is one of twenty-two states, nation wide that support state accreditation programs. The attainment of State Accreditation is difficult to achieve and time intensive. Deputy Chief Ray Mikolasek will lead our departments efforts in achieving ILEAP Accreditation. The initial enrollment period is administrative in nature with a review of the two (2) accreditation tiers followed by the self-assessment process. The self-assessment process requires the careful review and implementation of the program-specific standards into policy, practice and program. This also includes public comment sessions, interviews with various individuals associated with the agency and community/stakeholder feedback. The assessment model works to ensure agency policies have been implemented that complement standards and that the agency is complying with its policies and other requirements associated with the accreditation process. Once the agreement with ILEAP is signed we will have three (3) years to complete the initial self-assessment process. All accreditation costs will be absorbed in our annual department operating budget. ILEAP Accreditation Costs Program Costs (Tier 1): $400 Annually Program Costs (Tier 2): $800 Annually Re-Assessment Cycle: Four (4) Years Personnel: One (1) Full-Time Staff Member Recommendation None Attachments Exhibit A: Nationally Accredited Standard Example – Code of Ethics ILEAP State Accreditation Tier 1 Accreditation: 69 Compliance Standards Tier 2 Accreditation: 181 Compliance Standards Total U.S State Accreditation Programs: 22 Total Illinois Accredited Agencies: 48 Local Accredited Agencies: 1 Law Enforcement Agency Exhibit A: Standard Example 1.1.2 Code of Ethics (LE1) A written directive requires all personnel to abide by a code or canon of ethics adopted by the agency and mandates that ethics training be conducted for all personnel, at a minimum, biannually. COMMENTARY: Sworn and non-sworn position dilemmas, temptations, responsibilities, and duties. The Canon of Ethics or Law Enforcement Code of Ethics published by the International Association of Chiefs of Police or the Code of Ethics of the Office of the Sheriff adopted by the National Sheriffs' Association, ICMA Code of Ethics adopted by the International City Managers Association, or APCO Telecommunicator Code of Ethics adopted by the Association of Public- Safety Communications Officials International, Inc., will satisfy partial intent of this standard. Adherence to those codes of ethics and to the United Nations Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officials may be included as an element of the oath of office. Ethics review can be in the form of classroom, shift briefing, computer based training and bulletins, or any combination of methods as determined by the agency. Time sensitive standard.
