UNITED CITY OF YORKVILLE
SPECIAL PUBLIC SAFETY MEETING
Thursday, November 10, 2022 6:00pm
City Hall Council Chambers
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 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/in-person
Alderman Craig Soling/in-person
Alderman Matt Marek/in-person
Absent: Alderman Seaver Tarulis
Other City Officials in Attendance:
Police Chief Jim Jensen/in-person
Others in Attendance: None
The meeting was called to order at 6:00pm by Chairman Dan Transier.
Citizen Comments: None
Minutes for Correction/Approval: September 1, 2022
The minutes were approved as presented.
New Business:
1. PS 2022-24 Monthly Report Review for August 2022 – September 2022
Chief Jensen presented a summary of the reports. He cited police activities for August including
National Night Out, Special Olympics, photos of community events, swearing in of a new officer
and softball tournaments. He reported on the numbers of training hours, crashes, directed patrol
and citations issued. He also reported on the Part I and II crimes and calls for service for the
month.
September stats were also reported by the Chief. He said the 9-8-8 system for mental health calls
is now functional. He also presented the number of training hours, crashes, citations, as well as
directed patrol efforts, Part I and II crimes, calls for service and portable sign results. He said gas
costs for squads will be over budget in September.
2. PS 2022-25 Adjudication Reports for August 2022 – October 2022
Page 2 of 2
Chief Jensen said there were 3 tickets dismissed and some citations were issued for expired plates
and registration. Disorderly Conduct tickets were issued during Hometown Days.
3. PS 2022-26 Ordinance Amending Title 5 of the Yorkville City Code (Police Commander)
Garrett Carlyle was recently promoted to Police Commander and Attorney Orr updated the city
ordinance to include that position in the Police Department.
4. PS 2022-27 Training Coordinator – Shared Services (Discussion Only)
A list of department training requirements was given to the committee members and Chief Jensen
said he was going to present the idea of a Training Coordinator at the capital budget discussion.
This would be a shared position with Plano and Oswego to save money on training and the cost
would be split 3 ways. Currently, department personnel spend 494 hours a year to set up training
which includes submitting outlines, organizing training, looking for sites and instructors, so
officers can receive credit for the training hours. The total salary with benefits would be about
$65,000. Chief Jensen said larger departments such as Aurora, already have a dedicated person
for this position. If Montgomery is added, 2 persons would be needed. He also said he would
like to see more common policies and more shared positions with all 3 municipalities. The
position would coordinate training, but not actually do the training, gather materials and forward
them to the state and would need law enforcement experience. The Committee approved the idea
and it will be moved forward by Chief Jensen.
5. PS 2022-28 Sale or Destruction of Surplus Equipment (Squad M1 & M22)
The Chief said he would like to dispose of 2 vehicles which have electrical and other issues.
Auto Smart in Oswego will sell/dispose of these vehicles with the Committee's approval.
6. PS 2022-29 Resolution Authorizing the Purchase of Two Police Interceptor SUVs from
Morrow Brothers Ford, Greenfield, Illinois in 2023 in an Amount Not to Exceed $142,000
from the FY 24 Budget
Due to the length of time and uncertainty of acquiring new squads in a timely manner, Chief
Jensen asked approval to order now instead of waiting. He would like to order only 2 of the 3
that are budgeted, since they likely will not be delivered until the end of next year. Alderman
Soling asked if the price is locked in when ordered. Chief Jensen said that he was told the price
will be locked and the cost is $71,000 per vehicle. He said some of the old equipment will be
transferred to the new squads by Morrow Brothers.
7. PS 2022-30 Meeting Schedule for 2023
The Committee agreed to continue to meet every other month at 6pm.
Old Business: None
Additional Business:
The Chief noted that all the items discussed tonight should be on the City Council agenda for the
following Tuesday.
There was no further business and the meeting was adjourned at 6:38pm.

DETECTIVE SQUAD
On October 24th, 2022, the Detective Squad experienced a change of leadership after
Commander P. McMahon was promoted. On that date, Detective Sergeant Nelson began his new
position. For the past three weeks, Detective Sergeant Nelson has been learning the complexities
of his new position, which includes evidence custodian duties, supervising the Detective Squad,
and background investigation.
In October, detectives received a tip from another agency regarding a retail theft that occurred
in September at Menards. Based on that tip, detectives traveled to a long-term motel complex in
an attempt to locate the suspect vehicle. Not only was the suspect vehicle located, but the
suspect was actively moving items into and out of the vehicle. That suspect was later identified
and confirmed to be the suspect of the retail theft. Based on that information, an arrest warrant
was issued for William Meyers, age 44 of Aurora, Illinois, and he is currently wanted for retail
theft.
During October, Detective Ketchmark, Detective Sergeant Nelson, and Commander McMahon
attended the Illinois Homicide Investigators Association Conference in Itasca, Illinois. That
conference focuses on improving detective’s abilities to investigate violent crimes and homicides.
The Homicide conference provides career development and also assists officers with receiving
required training hours to remain certified as a Lead Homicide Investigator, which Detective
Ketchmark, Detective Sergeant Nelson, and Commander McMahon are.
Detectives met with each of the registered sex offenders on Halloween, and passed out hanging
placards, that reminded them that they are not allowed to participate in Trick-or-treating events.
No issues were reported with any of the registered sex offenders living in the City of Yorkville
during Trick-or-treating.

Lost Dogs/Adoptions/Lost Ducks
Facebook Post (11/6/22): Help us find this dog’s owner! She was found with no tags in the area
of Hayden Dr and Wild Indigo Ln. Even though she didn’t want to get out of the squad car, we
think it’s best she spends the night at home. If you know where she lives or know the owner,
have them call the Yorkville Police Department at 630-553-4340. UPDATE: Update: Based on
your shares, 13-year-old Blackie was returned to her family! As always, thanks for your help!
Facebook Post (11/11/22): We need YOUR HELP!! This adorable guy was dropped off at a local
vet clinic with an unknown location of where he was found. A unique remark about him besides
the cute curly long hair is that he is blind. If this your adorable blind curly haired dog, he will be
hanging out with Officer Caruso for a few hours before going to the animal shelter, but we’d
rather get him home to you ASAP as he misses you!

Facebook Post (12/9/22): This Wednesday, the Yorkville Police Department hosted its 4th annual
Shop With A Cop event. This was made possible by many generous sponsors and volunteers. We
would like to thank Restore Church, Kiwanis, Yorkville Target, Yorkville Ace Hardware and
Rosati’s Pizza of Yorkville for their generosity and involvement. Our Department was blessed to
build relationships with nineteen amazing children who were able to have a special Christmas
celebration. We even had a special guest, Santa! Our family at YPD wishes you all the best this
Christmas season. #CommunityPolicing#Santa#ShopWithACop
Facebook Posts
Facebook Post (12/11/22): We are currently investigating a single vehicle accident on Galena
Road where a vehicle struck a pole. Power may be affected at area residences.
Facebook Post (12/12/22): We are keeping the Village of Oswego Police, IL and the Wilson
family in our thoughts and prayers as we mourn over the passing of retired Officer Keith Wilson.
Keith had strong ties to the Yorkville community and many of us were blessed to call him friend.
We will miss you Keith.
Facebook Post (12/19/22): With the chance of snow at the end of this week the Yorkville Police
Department wants to remind the public that per Yorkville city ordinance 6-2-3G, parking on city
streets is prohibited after a snowfall of more than 2 inches for 24 hours after the snowfall has
ended. Roadways that are clear of vehicles allow for more efficient, and quicker, removal of snow
by our snow plows. Failure to remove a vehicle from a city street may result in a $50 ticket and
the vehicle may be towed at the owner's expense.
Facebook Post (12/20/22): YPD continues to monitor the upcoming winter storm. The following
information comes from the National Weather Service:
Key Messages:
● Snow develops Thursday with rapidly deteriorating conditions
Thursday afternoon.
● Blizzard conditions possible, particularly late Thursday night
through Friday afternoon. Difficult to impossible travel.

school in his squad car! They won this ride to school in a raffle at a recent fundraiser. What a
great way start the last day of school before Christmas vacation!
Facebook Post (12/25/22): Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays from YPD day shift featuring
some special guests Kyiah & Paxton! We hope you & your families stay safe & warm
Facebook Post (12/27/22): There is currently a disabled semi on northbound Route 47 at Route

but, in the meantime, consider and alternate route.

Facebook Post (12/1/22): While working the night shift as a Police Officer you never know what
kind of call you may receive. Some calls are of the emergency nature and others are more
community oriented. Last night in the frigid temperatures, Officer Meyer received a call about a
small kitten stuck in a bush. Officer Meyer was able to capture this stray and bring the kitten to
his warm squad car. Due to the age of the kitten it needed to be fed by syringe. It was at this time;
other members of the team were able to feed the kitten. Officer Meyer was able to transfer this
kitten to an animal hospital for future care. In the spirit of Christmas, Officer Warren named this
kitten Kevin. This name was given due to his favorite Christmas movie Home Alone. However,
we have our suspicions that he named the kitten Kevin after himself! Patrol squad D hopes this
post starts your day in a positive way. Happy Thursday!
Facebook Post (12/2/22): Help us find her home! She was located in the area of Somonauk St
and McHugh Rd earlier this evening. She’s starting to get pretty comfortable around here…. Help
get her home before we get too attached. If you know where she lives, call the Yorkville Police
Department at 630-553-4340. UPDATE: The dog has been transferred to Kendall County Animal
Control.

2022 Department Goal Year End Review
James Jensen Chief of Police
Name Department
Summary
Yearend review of the Yorkville Police Department 2022 Annual Department Goal.
Background
Organizational goals are strategic objectives that help define an organization’s purpose. There
are many advantages to establishing organizational goals:
x They guide staff efforts
x Justify an organizations activity
x Assist in defining performance related standards
The department goal for 2022 provides clear direction into the expectations of our staff and the
expansion of our community policing efforts in the United City of Yorkville. The objective of this goal
is to perform each duty, task and responsibility, no matter how serious or mundane with absolute
excellence. Every contact on the street, in the school or in someone’s home is an, “interview”. We
control how we respond to someone. We control our attitude. We control our professionalism and most
importantly we control the outcome of that contact.

YORKVILLE POLICE DEPARTMENT
2022 Department GOAL
Organizational goals are strategic objectives that help define an organization’s purpose. There
are many advantages to establishing organizational goals:
x They guide staff efforts
x Justify an organizations activity
x Assist in defining performance related standards
The department goal for 2022, as listed below, provides clear direction into the expansion of our
community policing efforts in the United City of Yorkville. Divisional Command Staff will be
given full latitude and discretion in working with their supervisory staff to develop and
implement action plans geared toward this goal.
GOAL #1: Incorporate our Workplace Values into every decision with the
goal of absolute EXCELLENCE.
Goal Objective: The objective of this goal is to perform each duty, task, and responsibility, no
matter how serious or mundane, with absolute excellence. Every contact on the street, in the
school or in someone’s home is an “interview”. WE control how we respond to someone. WE
control our attitude. WE control our professionalism and most importantly WE control the
outcome of that contact.
Excellence Defined: Excellence is defined as the quality of being outstanding or extremely
good. Excellence means that you strive to be the best you can be and to do the best you can do.
Workplace Values Defined: Workplace values are the moral compass of what we believe in as
an organization. Everything we think and everything we do should be centered around our
values. These values play a key role in the successes of our decision-making processes and in
the successes of our organization.
YPD Values: The Values of the Yorkville Police Department rest in our three “Non-
Negotiables”. These “Non-Negotiables” provide transparent guidance into the organizational
beliefs and expectations of those within the organization.
1. Honesty & Integrity: Honesty is being truthful, sincere and free of deceit. Integrity is
the practice of showing strong adherence to moral and ethical principles and values such
as honesty, honor, dependability, and trustworthiness. A person with integrity does the
right thing, even behind closed doors.
2. YPD Community Policing is building partnerships and relationships with the
community to prevent crime, solve neighborhood problems and creating a safe social
environment for people to live.
3. Professionalism: The skill, good judgment and polite behavior that is expected from a
person who is trained to do a job well. Treat others as you want to be treated. Treat
others as they are your mother, father, son, daughter, or spouse.
Measures of Success: The evaluation of performance and the measurements of success will
include the following:
x Command Staff Check-In: Bi-weekly (every two weeks) meetings will be conducted
with the Command Staff to discuss our department goal and evaluate our successes and
areas for improvement.
Annual Update: The original intent of this goal was to meet and discuss at the bi-
weekly meetings conducted between the Chief of Police and each Command Officer.
While this was done, we also do this at our weekly command meetings. During each
meeting we talk about individual staff members and teams, reviewing both challenges
and successes within the organization. These meetings have proven to be very helpful
as they provide updates of what is going on in the organization both positive and
negative and they allow us to identify areas of concern or improvement both
professionally and personally. (Discussion Topics: Internals/complaints, high crime
areas, union issues/concerns, CIT, Accreditation updates, program updates, etc.)
x Supervisor Meetings: Monthly Sergeant meetings will be organized to discuss our
department goal and evaluate our successes and areas for improvement.
Annual Update: Monthly Sergeants meetings have been conducted throughout the
year. During these meetings each Sergeant talks about team/individual
accomplishments along with individual performances. Issues of concern are discussed
within the group along with implementation and communication plans for
improvement. In addition, bi-weekly meetings were held with the Patrol Sergeants.
Our Sergeants took initiative to improve in-house record keeping (Kelly Time) and
initiative to interact with our community (Marketplace, community roll calls, traffic
letters)
x Department Complaint Reviews (Internal Investigations, Complaint Inquiries): The Field
Operations Division will conduct a monthly review of complaints and internal
investigations. Each complaint and IA will be discussed at our weekly Command
meeting. Complaint Inquiry is a classification used to address and document a citizen
concern or question about a policy, procedure or tactic used by an employee of the
Department. The purpose of a complaint inquiry is to review the employee’s actions with
regards to a citizen’s complaint in which an optional, official formalized sworn
complaint is not requested by the complainant. ALL complaint inquiries are investigated
and forwarded through the chain of command for review.
Annual Update: Complaints, both formal and informal are discussed at our weekly
command meetings. In 2022 there was one (1) formal internal investigation. This
complaint was “unfounded”. Regarding 2022 complaint inquiries we investigated five
(5) complaints, all of which were “unfounded”. In addition, our officers received
several compliments and thank you letters for their response with mental health
incidents and impromptu interactions with the public.
x Response to Resistance Reviews: The Field Operations Division will conduct monthly
reviews of each Response to Resistance to determine not only policy compliance but
ethical compliance.
Annual Update: A Response to resistance review is conducted when the forced used is
beyond what is normal and customary in making an arrest. Our multitiered review
process goes through five layers of review to include the Shift Sergeant, Defensive
Tactics Instructor, Police Commander, Deputy Chief and Chief of Police. In addition,
all Response to Resistance cases are discussed at our weekly command meeting. This
year we arrested 421 people, responded to 101 mental health calls for service,
participated in 65 voluntary/involuntary committals and handled 13,538 incidents
throughout the year with only five (5) Response to Resistance cases. In all response to
resistance cases the force used by officers was deemed appropriate and within policy.
Officer training specific to force, to include deadly force is ongoing throughout the
year meeting both departmental standards and the Illinois Law Enforcement Training
and Standards Board standards.
x Incident Debriefings: Incident debriefings will be conducted to identify departmental
responses and areas for improvement. Incident debriefings can be conducted on any call
for service determined by the Shift Supervisor.
Annual Update: Incident debriefs have been conducted on a multitude of cases/calls to
include storm response, missing person, response to resistance calls, mental health
calls for service, hold-up alarms and a house fire.
x Daily Pass-On Audits: The Command Staff will conduct daily reviews of Pass-On to
assist in identifying debrief opportunities as well as evaluating our departments response
to calls for service.
Annual Update: Pass-On is reviewed daily by YPD Command staff. These reviews are
conducted to not only make sure our response to calls for service are appropriate and
within policy but to identify any potential concerns or liability related issues.
Throughout the year questions have been asked, by command and elected officials
regarding death investigations, missing persons, stolen vehicles, bar fights, storm
response, domestic violence and business assists.
x Social Media Audits: The Support Services Deputy Chief will conduct monthly audits of
our social media accounts to examine not only our positive footprint in the community
but any complaints or issues that could have a negative impact on our department’s
reputation.
Annual Update: Social media pages (Facebook & Instagram) are reviewed weekly by
command staff with an informal audit being done after each post. This audit review
includes comments or complaints made by the public, a review of the likes and dislikes,
total number of hits or shares per post and the overall approval of the community
based on the posted comments. All questions and private messages are reviewed and
responded to in a timely fashion. Public comments that are inappropriate or violate not
only Facebook and Instagram standards, but our department standards are
immediately “hidden” however not removed completely from the site.
x Personnel Early Warning System: A Personnel Early Warning System (PEWS) is
designed to help identify and assist employees who display behavior consistent with early
indicators of certain performance and/or stress related problems and to facility any
necessary or appropriate follow-up activities before the behavior becomes detrimental to
the individual and/or the agency. Currently, we do not have a PEWS. This year we will
be researching, developing and implementing such a program.
Annual Update: The development of our Early Warning System (EWS) is in process.
This goal is going slower than expected, however, on track to be fully implemented and
integrated into policy by the end of 2022. We have purchased and trained all
supervisors and command staff personnel on the Frontline Pro-Standards Tracker
which is a cloud-based professional standards software program making it easier to
manage and track compliments, complaints, awards, injuries, excessive sick time
usage, response to resistance, vehicle pursuits, and internal investigations
“What do you want the Yorkville Police Department to be known for? What do
you want our Legacy to be?”

performance and behavior can be addressed before they hurt the staff member or the organization.
