-Crime Free
Housing: The Police Department continues to work with Gary Holcomb and his
group. We are also working with the
Housing Authority of Cook County. They
assist us with revoking housing assistance vouchers for individuals who commit
crime in Sauk Village. This is a great
tool being provided to the Police Department in accomplishing the Blue Print
Plan.
-Fiscal Responsibility: It was learned that the previous
administration entered into a non-cancellable agreement with De Lage Landen
Financial Services for the Lexmark printer used by the police department. The Village is obligated to pay 22 more
months at a cost of $185 a month on the service agreement. It was also discovered the police department
had a postage meter that we are paying a monthly service agreement on and that
there was an advance amount of $1200 available on the meter. Lastly, it was discovered the Police
Department had a $375 yearly subscription to the Illinois Criminal Statute
books since 2011. It should be noted
these Illinois Criminal Statutes are available on the internet for free.
-Policies and Procedures: We are moving forward with implementing
Lexipol which is an electronic policy and procedure manual. The funding for this came from a grant made
available through the Illinois Public Risk Fund (IPRF).-Bullet Proof Vests: We are evaluating the life cycle of the officer's bullet proof vest and will be submitting the appropriate paperwork to receive grant funding from the Bureau of Justice Assistance to replace the vests which are past their respective life cycle.
