For May, June and July, in addition to the stats, the Chief also noted specific officer training and

Greenbriar with drivers ignoring the stop sign. In July Yorkville took part in a detail with the
Illinois State Police and Kendall County Sheriff regarding human trafficking which resulted in 3
arrests. He also reported on meeting a therapy dog and the handler who will be available if
needed. There was a Facebook post about Detective Sergeant Matt Nelson being the law
enforcement officer of the year as a result of his investigation of an incident at the water park.
He said his department is working with IDOT on the intersection of Routes 126 and 47 due to the

speeding issues continue on Routes 34, 71, 47 and Fox Rd. He also reported on vehicle usage.

COMMUNITY POLICING INITIATIVES
Community Information
Facebook Post (8/1/24): The Kendall County Association of Chiefs of Police is proud to highlight
our Chaplain Program and the dedicated and wonderful chaplain volunteers who serve the residents
of our county. This week, we are pleased to spotlight Chaplain John Beery of Restore Church in
Yorkville.
Chaplain Beery has spent the past three years deeply involved in his faith community and the last
year serving as a Chaplain with our Association. His mission as a Police Chaplain is to support the
4 C's of Chaplaincy: Community, Care, Compassion, and Collaboration. He serves as a beacon of
hope, offering a listening ear and a comforting presence to those in need.
Chaplain Beery loves serving and helping people both in good times and bad. "It is truly an honor
to serve the residents of Kendall County and the Law Enforcement community," he says. Whether
offering spiritual guidance, emotional support, or simply being present, Chaplain Beery embodies
the spirit of service that is at the heart of the Chaplain Program.
The Kendall County Association of Chiefs of Police is committed to continuing and expanding the
Chaplain Program, recognizing the essential role that chaplains like John Beery play in supporting
our community and law enforcement personnel. We are grateful for his unwavering dedication and
look forward to his continued contributions.
For more information on the Chaplain Program or if you want to speak with Chaplain Beery, please
contact him via email at yesitsme1962@gmail.com.
Facebook Post (8/6/24): Chaplain Matt Conrad
Position: Pastor at Cross Lutheran Church, Yorkville
Kendall County Law Enforcement and the Kendall County Association of Chiefs of Police would
like to recognize another Chaplain serving the residents of Kendall County.
Chaplain Matt Conrad has been with Cross Lutheran Church in Yorkville for the past 9 years and
has been with our Chaplains Program since its inception. Chaplain Conrad, a Yorkville resident,
says his motivation for serving as a Chaplain is to support law enforcement and serve the residents
of Kendall County. He deeply appreciates the dedication and effort of law enforcement in protecting
and serving the community. More importantly, he appreciates serving and helping those community
members in their time of need.
For Chaplain Conrad, the most rewarding part of his role is getting to know and help people.
Chaplain Conrad wants the community to know how much he appreciates everyone and values the
opportunity to serve and assist those in need. He is grateful for the strong community spirit and the
chance to contribute positively to the lives of others.
If you have questions about our Chaplains Program or would like to speak with Chaplain Conrad,
you can email him at mconrad@hiscross.net.
Facebook Post (8/6/24): A BIG THANK YOU! to our community for showing up and spending
the evening with us for National Night Out! We are grateful for a community that supports YPD
and it was such a fun time to hang out with a Ghostbusters theme. We hope everyone enjoys the
rest of their summer, and remember, “We ain’t afraid of no ghosts!”
Facebook Post (8/12/24): BACK TO SCHOOL.......BACK TO SCHOOL...
Showing our age with this reference! 27 years ago...let that sink in. It's almost time to head back to
school. We want everyone to have a safe and productive return to school, so stay tuned as we will
be posting safety tips leading up to our first day.
Facebook Post (8/12/24): Who else was "first one on, last one off" for the bus ride?? Those
unlucky few learned early lessons in patience.....and where everyone lived!
Please make sure to pay attention as our buses are out getting our kids to school safely.
Facebook Post (8/13/24): Remember our young pedestrians and cyclist one their way to school.
Please take time to look twice when entering intersections and crosswalks. We are just a few days
away and we hope everyone has a great start to the school year.
Facebook Post (8/13/24): It is time to highlight another Kendall County Association of Chiefs of
Police Chaplain.
Chaplain Vernon Fatima has been with Grace Community Church in Yorkville for the past 14 years
and has been an integral part of the Kendall County Association of Chiefs of Police Chaplains
Program since its inception. His commitment to serving as a Police Chaplain began during the
COVID-19 pandemic, driven by a strong desire to give back to law enforcement and the community
he serves.
According to Chaplain Fatima, the most rewarding part of his role is the opportunity to give back
to those who serve the community. He is empathetic towards the challenges faced by law
enforcement and believes that service to the community should take precedence over any agenda.
With over 20 years of residency in Kendall County, Chaplain Fatima wants everyone to know how
much he appreciates the opportunity to serve and support the residents of this county.
The Kendall County Association of Chiefs of Police is committed to continuing and expanding the
Chaplain Program, recognizing the essential role that Chaplains like Vernon Fatima play in
supporting our community and law enforcement personnel. We are grateful for his unwavering
dedication and look forward to his continued contributions. For more information on the Chaplain
Program or if you want to speak with Chaplain Vernon Fatima, please contact him via email at
vfatima@icpc4cops.org

To you parents, we hope you have an extra dose of patience getting the kids out of bed and dressed
before noon! Please be safe as we start the new school year.
Facebook Post (8/30/24): Chaplain Dave Fox
Harvest New Beginnings Church, Oswego
Let's highlight Chaplain Dave Fox, a dedicated member of the Kendall County Association of
Chiefs of Police Chaplain Program.
Chaplain Fox has been with Harvest New Beginnings Church in Oswego for 16 years and has been
a vital part of the Chaplain Program since its inception. Notably, he served the City of Joliet for 28
years as a Police Officer. As a retired officer, Chaplain Fox has firsthand experience with the
difficult situations and heartbreak faced by both the public and law enforcement.
Driven by his desire to serve those in need and support individuals experiencing trauma, Chaplain
Fox is a true servant leader who believes in the power of having compassionate people in our lives.
For him, the most rewarding part of being a Police Chaplain is building relationships and giving
back to the community that has provided so much to him and his family.
When asked what he wants the public to know about him and the Chaplains Program, Chaplain Fox
emphasized that TV does not accurately depict law enforcement. He wants people to understand
that Officers and Chaplains are here to help, support, and encourage. The Kendall County
Association of Chiefs of Police is committed to expanding the Chaplain Program, recognizing the
essential role that Chaplains like Dave Fox play in supporting our community and law enforcement
personnel.
We are grateful for his unwavering dedication and look forward to his continued contributions. For
more information on the Chaplain Program or to speak with Chaplain Dave Fox, please contact him
via email at dave@hnb.church.

TRAFFIC COMPLAINT / ENFORCEMENT INFORMATION
In January through August 2024, the Yorkville Police Department had received traffic concerns for various locations in
town. These concerns were established through both citizen concerns and areas of concern for the department. All citizen
concerns were tracked for potential issues. In some cases to verify that the concerns needed to be further addressed, (5)
five years of crash data was researched. In addition, these locations were further researched by utilizing the department’s
speed signs. These speed signs were able to collect traffic data related to traffic counts, speed data, and various times of
day of violations. In addition, the department also relied upon its partnership with EEI.

DETECTIVE SQUAD
On 08/05/2024, Detective Johnson was able to secure an arrest warrant for Joseph Scioli for Aggravated
Criminal Sexual Abuse and Aggravated Battery from an incident stemming from June of 2024. For that case,
Scioli allegedly inappropriately touched a female juvenile, unbeknownst to the victim, in a public place. A
good Samaritan came forward and reported the incident to the staff of the facility where it occurred. After an
extensive investigation, the female victim and her family, along with the suspect, was identified and Scioli was
subsequentially charged. Shortly after the issuance of the warrant, Scioli turned himself into the Kendall
County Sheriff’s Office.
On 08/27/2024, the Yorkville Police Department honored two male juveniles for their life saving efforts at a
pool party that occurred in July of 2024. The two male juveniles were identified after surveillance video from
the home was able to be accessed by the Investigation’s Unit and was reviewed. One of the male juveniles
observed another male juvenile under the water and appeared to be unconscious. That male dove to the bottom
of the pool and retrieved the unconscious youth. The other male juvenile then removed the unconscious male
from the pool and began chest compressions until adults took over. The unconscious male was eventually
revived and transported to a local hospital where he made a full recovery. Without the efforts of these two
brave children, the other child would not be here today.

Facebook Post (9/18/24): Thank you Taylor for coming to visit with us. It was great meeting you and
a real pleasure showing you around YPD.
Facebook Post (9/18/24): ***Rumor Control***
We are aware of the writing on the wall of the Yorkville Freshman Academy regarding a possible school
threat. We are working with school district administration and security to locate the involved individuals.
We will be taking this situation seriously and will investigate the issue. Currently we do not have evidence
of a legitimate threat. We will be placing an increased police presence around the campus throughout the
day and the coming week until this situation is resolved.
This is following an unfortunate trend we have been seeing lately circulating through various social media
platforms which has effected our district along with surrounding districts as well. Please take time to speak
with your children about the severity of communicating such things.
***UPDATE***
The juvenile suspect has been charged with class 4 felony disorderly conduct and taken immediately to the
St. Charles Juvenile Justice Center to be placed into secure custody.
***Original Post***
Yorkville Police conducting a joint investigation with Yorkville District 115 and their security team have
identified and located the suspect from the recent threat to the Yorkville Freshman Academy. The suspect
was identified as a juvenile male who attends the Yorkville Freshman Academy. This juvenile has been
w w w ’ ’
to identify the proper criminal charges. Currently we have not discovered any additional evidence of efforts
to carry out this threat. Contrary to local Facebook reports, no firearms were located in the students
possession. This continues to be an ongoing investigation and charges will be released once confirmed
Facebook Post (9/20/24): ***Snapchat Threats***
We have been made aware of a snapchat that is being passed around regarding potential "three part"
school threat. This exact snapchat has previously been identified by several other agencies outside of
Kendall county, investigated, and did not reveal any credible threats. Additionally, it has been previously
submitted to the Illinois State Police Statewide Terrorism and Intelligence Center (STIC) for additional
investigation. At this point we have no evidence this is a credible threat.
This is a serious subject and threats of this manner will always be taken seriously. Please keep in mind,
social media is a great tool for communication, fun, and entertainment but please be responsible with what
is shared.
Facebook Post (9/23/24): ***Burglary Arrest***
On Monday September 23rd, 2024 at approximately 12:30 a.m. Yorkville Police responded to an activated
alarm at a closed business on the 600 block of center parkway. The response resulted in officers locating
and arresting an individual who was actively burglarizing the business. Upon arrival, officers noticed a
unsecured exterior door and what appeared to be a window air conditioner partially pulled from the
window. Shortly thereafter officers discovered a male inside the building attempting to remove
prescription medication. The male, Connor P. Naughton (m/w 27 yoa 300 block East Kendal Dr. Yorkville
IL), was taken into custody without incident. Yorkville Police were assisted in this response by the Kendall
County Sheriff's Office and Plano Police Department. Naughton was transported to the Kendall County Jail
on class 2 felony burglary charges.
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.
Facebook Post (9/24/24): Rain or Shine This month YPD officers participated in an Emergency Vehicle
Operations Course (EVOC) where they sharpened their skills behind the wheel in order to master critical
driving maneuvers. This hands on training focused on maneuvers to reduce traffic crashes & teach officers
how to safely navigate hazards when responding to emergency calls for service.
Special thanks to Raging Waves Waterpark for allowing us to use this space to get our officers trained!

We would like to highlight Police Chaplain Erik Gauss, who has been serving as one of the Pastors at Cross
Lutheran Church in Yorkville for just over 18 years. Chaplain Gauss has been a dedicated member of the
Kendall County Association of Chiefs of Police Chaplain Program since its inception.
When asked why he serves as a Chaplain, Gauss shared that his motivation is to give back to the community
and to support the police department as well as those in need of assistance. Through his work as a police
chaplain, he has come to know and support many families, both within his church and the community,
building strong and meaningful relationships with them.
According to Chaplain Gauss, the most rewarding part of being a police chaplain is being called out to help
people during their worst times. He finds great fulfillment in being an additional resource for the police
and providing extra support for families in crisis. When asked what he wants the public to know about him,
Chaplain Gauss emphasized that supporting the community is his driving force. He recognizes that those in
law enforcement help people, and he is blessed to be able to assist those who are dedicated to serving
others. We are grateful for his unwavering dedication and look forward to his continued contributions. For

leap. I was searching for something to do to help, looking for something that I could make a difference in,"
he shared. For Chaplain Lockman, the most rewarding part of being a Police Chaplain is the one-on-one
time he spends with the public and officers, fostering positive interactions and humanizing those who need
support. When asked what he would like the public to know, Chaplain Lockman emphasized that he is here
to help, offer guidance, and provide support in any way he can.
We are incredibly grateful for your service, Chaplain Lockman. Thank you for everything you do for our
communities! If you would like to reach out to Chaplain Lockman, you can contact him via email at
Chad.A.Lockman@gmail.com.

TRAFFIC COMPLAINT / ENFORCEMENT INFORMATION
In January through September 2024, the Yorkville Police Department had received traffic concerns for various locations
in town. These concerns were established through both citizen concerns and areas of concern for the department. All citizen
concerns were tracked for potential issues. In some cases to verify that the concerns needed to be further addressed, (5) five
years of crash data was researched. In addition, these locations were further researched by utilizing the department’s speed
signs. These speed signs were able to collect traffic data related to traffic counts, speed data, and various times of day of
violations. In addition, the department also relied upon its partnership with EEI.

Resolution Authorizing the Purchase of Two (2) Police Vehicles for the FY26 Budget
Special Public Safety Committee – November 21, 2024
Supermajority (6 out of 9)
Approval
Please see the attached memo.
James Jensen Chief of Police
Name Department
Summary
Staff is seeking support to pre-order two (2) 2025 Ford Interceptor SUV vehicles in the amount not to
exceed $154,452 that will be proposed in the FY2026 budget.
Background
Our last twelve patrol vehicles purchased have been through Morrow Brothers Ford in Greenfield, Illinois.
These vehicles have been Police Utility Ford Explorers. We have heard positive feedback from our officers
regarding these vehicles. Some of the highlights include ample space for equipment, the prisoner transport
area is larger, and the vehicles are AWD.
Purchasing an SUV for patrol offers many advantages for the department. The winter months are harsh
and having an all-wheel-drive vehicle will allow for safer roadway travel during inclement weather. Added
interior room in the vehicles provide staff comfort as well as storing the necessary equipment (i.e., rifles,
shotguns, ballistic shields, helmet, etc.).
Currently, Sutton Ford in Matteson, Illinois, holds the state bid for the purchase of police fleet SUV
vehicles. Sutton Ford has provided a vehicle cost of $47,013.00 for the 2025 Ford Interceptor SUV.
Unfortunately, Sutton Ford requires an order for 2025 Ford Explorers be placed by the end of September
2024 to guarantee deliver in 2025, and failure to meet that deadline, may delay delivery until 2026. As
mentioned previously, we have purchased vehicles from Morrow Brothers Ford for many years. Morrow
Brothers Ford advised they are still taking orders for 2025 Ford Interceptor SUVs through the end of the
year. Morrow Brothers has promised those vehicles at $44,940.00, which currently brings the total to
$2,073 per vehicle less than Sutton Ford’s current state bid pricing. Currently, Morrow Brothers Ford is
taking orders on a first come first serve basis for agencies to receive 2025 police vehicles. We would like
to be added to that list. We would not take delivery/ownership of these vehicles until after May 1, 2025
(FY26). In the event we are placed on the list but have to cancel our order there is no penalty or cost to
the United City of Yorkville.
See the attached vehicle specifications and pricing form (Exhibit A) for vehicle equipment and pricing.
Below is a breakdown of the cost of a new patrol SUV which includes additional equipment and
installation.
Morrow Brothers Vehicle Base Cost $45,245
Other Vendors Additional Equipment Costs $31,981 (including installation)
Total Squad Cost not to exceed $77,226 per vehicle
***Included in the base vehicle cost is registration, key fobs, headlight wig-wag lighting, prisoner door
locks, heated mirrors, police idle switch and grill prewire. Morrow Brothers Ford offers specific

equipment packages that are installed in the vehicle upon delivery. We have compared the cost of
purchasing and installing through a third party and have found Morrow Brothers to be cost-efficient and
time efficient to include these items in the initial vehicle purchase.
The two (2) vehicles proposed for purchase will be two (2) fully marked squad cars. This would mean the
lightbar would be on top of the vehicle, decals on the vehicle and a prisoner cage.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the ability to pre-order two (2) 2025 Ford Interceptor SUV vehicles and associated
equipment in the amount not to exceed $154,452 as will be included in the FY26 budget.

Intergovernmental Agreement – School Resource Officer (SRO)
Special Public Safety Committee – November 21, 2024
Majority
Approval
Approval of an Intergovernmental Agreement between Yorkville Community
School District 115 and the United City of Yorkville regarding the School Resource
Officer (SRO) position. This agreement facilitates a positive, collaborative
relationship between local law enforcement, school administration, educators,
service agencies, community-based organizations, parents and students residing
within the Yorkville school District.
James Jensen Police
Name Department
Summary
Approval of an Intergovernmental Agreement between Yorkville Community School District
115 and the United City of Yorkville regarding the School Resource Officer (SRO) position.
This agreement facilitates a positive, collaborative relationship between local law enforcement,
school administration, educators, service agencies, community-based organizations, parents and
students residing within the Yorkville school District.
Background
The goal of the School Resource Officer (SRO) program is to create a safe, secure, and
supportive environment in which students can engage in their education without fear or
disruption. Through this program, specially trained law enforcement officers work closely with
school personnel to prevent juvenile crime, promoting a safe learning atmosphere that
encourages students to excel both academically and socially.
The Yorkville Police Department has long partnered with Yorkville School District #115,
providing a dedicated, full-time SRO as part of our team of 34 sworn officers. Currently, the
SRO, assigned to our criminal investigations division, is stationed at Yorkville High School but
frequently assists other schools in the district, addressing calls for service and reducing the
response load on our Field Operations Division. This valuable support will continue under the
proposed Intergovernmental Agreement.
Presently, the Yorkville Police Department covers all costs associated with the SRO position,
including salary, benefits, workers' compensation, training, and overtime. While the program’s
operational role will remain the same, the proposed Intergovernmental Agreement introduces
changes to its financial aspects. Under this new agreement, the department will still cover salary,
benefits, and workers' compensation costs; however, the school district will reimburse all
overtime costs, including SRO and detail officer overtime, and share 50% of SRO training
expenses. This arrangement allows for comprehensive support to the school district while
effectively distributing associated costs.
The length of the proposed Intergovernmental Agreement is four (4) years with the ability to
terminate the Agreement by either party, at any time, with at least thirty days prior written
notice.
Recommendation
Approval of the Intergovernmental Agreement with Yorkville School District #115.

1295922.2
1. School Resource Officer Program: District 115 and the United City of Yorkville hereby
create a School Resource Officer Program (the “Program”) to facilitate a positive
collaborative relationship between local law enforcement, school administration,
educators, service agencies, community-based organizations, parents and students residing
with the District 15 community. Additional requirements for the School Resource Officer
program pursuant to this Agreement are set forth in the attached Exhibit A. The goal of
the Program is to maintain a safe, secure environment, free of violence and fear, which will
allow the educational process to occur in a natural uninhibited manner. The Program shall
direct increased and focused attention to the prevention of juvenile crime through the
positive, proactive involvement of law enforcement personnel, specially trained to work
with high school and middle school students and school personnel with respect to the
prevention of substance abuse, gang activity, violence and other forms of socially
unacceptable behavior that threaten a positive educational environment.
The City shall provide one School Resource Officer (SRO) for the District who will
primarily be stationed at the Yorkville High School. It is understood that the SRO can float
between all District schools located within the City of Yorkville depending on the need as
determined by the School Resource Officer.
2. Reimbursable Expenses: The School District agrees to reimburse the City for overtime
costs ONLY (at 1.5 times the current hourly rate) for SRO and additional Officer services
provided by the City to the School District under this SRO Agreement. Overtime for the
SRO is defined as any hour worked beyond the normal eight-hour school day. Overtime
for additional officers is defined as any hour worked at the request of the school district for
special events (i.e. football games, dances, etc.). The Department will make every effort
to assign the SRO to the requested Overtime event(s), however, if the SRO is not available
a patrol officer may be assigned to fulfill the request with the approval of the District.
The number of officers assigned to district special events will be determined and agreed
upon by both the District and the City. The City shall cover all salary and associated
insurance, workers compensation, pension, FICA, and Medicare costs.
On a monthly basis the City will submit a written invoice to the School District with an
itemized statement showing the detail description, date and time of the detail and the
assigned officer’s name. The District agrees to compensate the City at the then current
assigned SRO/Officer Overtime rate.
Professional development and the ability to interact with peers is important for the success
of the SRO Program. While the City agrees to pay for training through the Department’s
mobile training unit and all training required by law for school resource officers, the district
agrees to reimburse the City for all training associated with State and National level
conferences at 50% of the costs associated with such training.
3. Insurance: The City shall keep in full force and effect at all times during the term of this
Agreement general public liability insurance, including contractual liability coverage,
workers compensation insurance and such other type of insurance in amounts and with
companies of self-insurance pools as are normally maintained in the ordinary course of

act or omission of District 115.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the City agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
District 115, its officers, employees, officials, agents, representative, or volunteers, or their
successors and assigns, in their individual and official capacities from and against any and
all liabilities, loss, claims, demands, liens, damages, penalties, fines, interest, costs and

incurred by District 115 arising out of any activity of the City in the performance of this
Agreement, or any act or omission of the City or of any employee, official, trustee, agent,
representative, contractor, or volunteer of the City, but only to the extent caused by a
negligent or willful and wanton act or omission of the City.
5. Effective Date, Term, and Termination: This Agreement shall become effective on the
date it is signed by the duly authorized representatives of both parties and shall continue in
full force and effect for a term of four (4) years. Either party may terminate this Agreement
