15-5343 1 RESOLUTION CALLING FOR A HEARING OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMITTEE OF THE COOK COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ON ELECTRONIC MONITORINGResolutionPROPOSED RESOLUTION RESOLUTION CALLING FOR A HEARING OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMITTEE OF THE COOK COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ON ELECTRONIC MONITORING WHEREAS, Electronic monitoring is a pre-trial program that was created with the objective of relieving overcrowding in the Cook County Jail. Instead of jail confinement, electronic monitoring provides a community-based alternative that allows non-violent defendants and short-time sentenced inmates to remain in the community; and WHEREAS, since 2014, Cook County judges have ordered a record number of criminal defendants onto electronic home monitoring; an increase that has significantly helped Cook County reduce jail population and costs, however, it has also created public safety concerns; and WHEREAS, specifically amongst the juvenile probation population, Cook County has recently experienced incidents in which defendants on electronic monitoring have committed violent crimes while in the community. These incidents have resulted in Cook County Juvenile Probation conducting internal audits of electronic monitoring staff   Not available Not available
