Retiring Sheriff Jeff Standard spoke to newly elected sheriffs about @FightCrime's public-safety efforts at a @ILSheriffsAssoc training event. We're grateful for his many years of work to support kids' well-being, & are excited to have over a dozen new sheriffs joining our ranks!
2/2: Others celebrating Chief Casstevens' 46-year career included Highland Park Chief Lou Jogmen, President of the @ILPoliceChiefs, & former Elmhurst Chief John Millner, who'd served in the IL Senate. Thx to these great members for underscoring the value of investing in youth!
1/2: It was great to join last week's celebration for Buffalo Grove Police Chief @stevecasstevens, a longtime @FightCrime member who's just retired from an impressive career in law enforcement. Many of his friends were on hand, incl our former IL director, @TimFightCrime. #twill
Children who are suspended and expelled in preschool are more likely to have later behavioral issues, drop out of school, and commit crimes, and research shows that Black kids face these school-discipline consequences at a disproportionate rate. 🧵 #twill tinyurl.com/kmf555ck
Law enforcement leaders from @FightCrime IL want some of our state's settlement funding — from lawsuits against #opioid manufacturers & distributors — to be directed to key #earlychildhood programs that can help prevent opioid abuse. #twill tinyurl.com/2p9dphbb
1/2: The opioid epidemic has had a major impact on IL kids, and for Winnebago County State’s Attorney J. Hanley and his family, this issue is particularly personal. #twill tinyurl.com/y42dwts6
2/2: SA Villarreal participated in a @FightCrime press conference Wednesday & noted that investing in early intervention efforts is a key way to address opioid addiction in parents and prevent kids from growing up to abuse opioids themselves. Read more 👇tinyurl.com/2un45s5h
1/2: In curbing crime and drug abuse, prevention is as important as reaction — catching things “at the very front end, especially with our youth," said Rock Island County State's Atty Dora Villarreal. #twill tinyurl.com/bdcnemm6
“Support children in their earliest years and protect them at that time, but also keep them out of trouble and support our communities going forward,” said Winnebago State’s Attorney J. Hanley #twill #birthto3 tinyurl.com/2p9x39b4
Whether Republican or Democrat, candidates for office & voters alike should prioritize #earlychildhood programs as a long-term crime-prevention strategy, write @FightCrime IL members Kendall County State's Attorney Eric Weis & @KaneSAO Jamie Mosser. #twill tinyurl.com/47as2npz
Voters should prioritize bipartisan solutions to crime reduction that include investments in #earlychildhood, says a new op-ed from @FightCrime IL members Rock Island State's Attorney Dora Villarreal and Sangamon County State's Attorney Dan Wright. #twill tinyurl.com/yvsbapzk
Fight Crime: Invest in Kids IL is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of former IL AG Jim Ryan. AG Ryan was a founding member of FCIK IL and dedicated his career to improving public safety. He will be missed. #twill #JimRyan tinyurl.com/2p8jm7kv
"Investments in our children should transcend party lines," the CEO of @ReadyNation's parent org, @strongnationUSA, writes in @thehill. This message in support of #preK, #childcare & similar priorities is particularly important during election season. tinyurl.com/2p84c4n4
2/2: Such initiatives have been shown to reduce Adverse Childhood Experiences associated w/later-in-life drug abuse. As our blog post notes, "services supporting the opioid crisis’ youngest victims (are) an essential element in effectively combating this drug epidemic." #twill
1/2: A new @FightCrime statement—signed by 100+ Illinois police chiefs, sheriffs, & prosecutors—calls for dedicating some of the state's opioid lawsuit-settlement money to prevention programs for children, such as #homevisiting "coaching" for new parents. tinyurl.com/vscdbrj7
Thank you for stopping by our booth at the @ILPoliceChiefs conference this morning, and for being a great supporter of Fight Crime IL, @MacombPolice Chief Jerel Jones!
IL lawmakers have OK'd a 10% funding boost for #earlylearning programs—an important investment in building skills for the workforce of tomorrow. We thank legislators, as well as @GovPritzker & @ISBEnews who—like our business leaders & allies—had proposed this increase. #twill
Voluntary parent “coaching” services can produce positive health outcomes for families, help curb abuse & neglect, & counter the opioid crisis. These programs will see a $1 million bump in the budget settled by IL lawmakers & @GovPritzker. We applaud this investment! #Twill
Lee County Sheriff John Simonton: We can't simply "arrest our way out" of drug abuse, violence, & other crime; prevention efforts are key, too. IL law enforcement leaders ask policymakers to boost #earlychildhood programs in the FY23 state budget. tinyurl.com/yt5nzt3v #twill
