President’s Message

By the time you receive this message, we will be in the midst of the holiday season. On behalf of the Executive Board, please accept our best wishes to you and your families for a safe and joyous holiday season.

Now, to introduce myself to those who do not know me: I am currently with the Sangamon County Adult Probation Department in Springfield. I have been with the department for nineteen years, working in the capacities of Probation Officer, Intensive Drug Officer, Division Supervisor, Deputy Director and, currently, Director. I have been a member of IPCSA since 1986. I have been actively involved with the Program, Substance Abuse and Chief Managing Officer Committees, served as Co-Chair of the Substance Abuse Committee, and served on the Executive Board in the capacities of Secretary and President-Elect.

As I start my tenure as President of the Association, I would like to take time to express my gratitude to outgoing President Linda Van Dyke. As I am sure you are aware, Linda served as the President of the Association for the past three years. Her dedication and professionalism were evident throughout her tenure, but were especially shown as she successfully achieved a multi-disciplinary conference in Chicago. Not only was this a personal achievement for Linda, but a tremendous step for the field and the Association!

Probably the most pressing issue on everyone’s mind these days is the budget situation that we are all facing. As many of you know, the nation’s economic situation has had a dramatic domino effect on the State of Illinois budget. Our state legislators have been cutting expenses and struggling to find alternative revenue sources. As a result, probation departments are relying on fees and their county government to pick up the shortfall. This may be a temporary solution for some counties; however, others are facing drastic cuts in their budgets and/or workforces. We must not stand silently by as this crisis unfolds. We must continue to advocate for our profession by becoming more involved in our Association; continuing to lobby our state legislators; advocating for ourselves as a public safety entity; implementing evidence-based practices; collaborating with various stakeholders; and publicizing measurable outcomes to support our success in reducing recidivism rates.

Probation departments throughout Illinois are drawing positive national attention for a variety of reasons. With assistance from and support of the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts, National Institute of Corrections, Annie E. Casey Foundation, Juvenile Justice Commission and other entities, probation departments are changing the face of our profession. We can use this as an opportunity to publicize our changes, our improvements, and the positive impact expected for our communities. This publicity offers the opportunity for support in lobbying efforts and increased grant opportunities – critical keys to our future financial security.

Our Association has not been immune from the budget crisis. As a matter of fact, it has had a dramatic effect on the Association. We have seen reduction in the number of attendees at conferences, a decrease in membership, and an increase in the cost of doing business. The Executive Board has been conscientious about ensuring our financially security. They have been developing ideas to both save money and increase revenue for the Association. It is important that all members do the same.

Needless to say, membership is one our biggest revenue sources. Thus, it is imperative that we seek out new membership, keep current members in the fold, and praise the benefits of IPCSA membership whenever we have the chance. A second opportunity to support the Association is though personal conference attendance, and encouraging the attendance of others. These conferences are also a significant source of the Association’s funds. Whether through conference attendance, volunteerism, or other means, all members are encouraged to become involved in the Association beyond membership. Please consider joining one of our many committees or running for an elected Board position. Always consider how you can more actively participate in IPCSA. We are always looking for new leaders.

Please do not hesitate to let an Executive Board member, including me, know if there are any issues or matters you think the Association needs to address. You can contact me directly at 217-753-6683 or miket@co.sangamon.il.us. The only way we can know what is on your mind is if we hear from you.

Thank you for your membership in IPCSA and your support of the Association.

Executive Board Elections

I wish I could start with the good news, but it will have to wait. The Illinois Economic and Fiscal Commission, the Legislature’s revenue forecasting agency, predicted recently that for State Fiscal Year 2006 there would only be $325 million new spending available. Unfortunately, there is already more that $600 million in new pension costs for FY 2006, $1.2 billion (yes, that is a “b”) in one-time 2005 revenue that will need to be replaced, and downstate teachers are looking for an early retirement option that could cost another $900 million.

We will be facing another horrendous budget situation next year. And probation fees will continue to be heavily relied on again next year. Also, it is too soon to tell whether sufficient probation fees will be available next year like they apparently were this year.

The recent election will have little impact on the make-up of the General Assembly. The Republicans added one net new member in each chamber. Sadly, a good friend of probation, Sen. Patrick Welch (D-Peru) was defeated. In the Senate, the Democrats will enjoy a 32-27 advantage. In the House, the advantage will be a slightly larger, 65-53.

As most of you know, another good friend of probation, Sen. Barack Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate with over 70 percent of the vote. You should all congratulate yourselves, for what could have been a close race, Sen. Obama’s support among probation officers put him over the top and into the stratosphere.

In a final note, several people in the criminal justice community were unhappy with me over suggestions last Spring that the cuts to probation fees could be utilized, directly or indirectly, to fund the judges’ cost of living increase. I apologize for not having enough information at the time those assertions were made. Based on a meeting I had with AOIC personnel, we were going to be cut, and the cost of living increase was going to be funded. There was not an exact correlation, but it was significant.

The next day, the cost of living increase was removed from the line item for Judicial pay, but our cuts remained. It is still possible to transfer amounts among the line items at any time during the State fiscal year, including our probation fees. We will all have to wait between now and the end of the State fiscal year to see if money has been transferred.

Day-Evening Reporting Committee

17 Reporting Centers in Illinois

 

The Day-Evening Reporting Committee is pleased to report that there are now 17 reporting centers fully operational in Illinois. In sentencing medium and low risk offenders, juvenile and adult courts are using these types of programs as an alternative to secure detention. These programs are providing excellent supervision of the minors at a fraction of the cost of incarceration and at the same time are providing high levels of safety to the community. It has been this committees pleasure to provide information and materials to counties that now have reporting centers. Additionally, several other counties are in the planning stages for Reporting Centers.

The committee is currently creating a library of program descriptions that will be a valuable source of information for every county in Illinois. It has become a good source to aid in understanding the wide diversity of programming being used in Reporting Centers. If your County would like to add your reporting center program information to our library, please forward it to the chair of this committee.

The Day/Evening Reporting Committee is finalizing the data input from the questionnaires sent out last spring. From the data gathered, a resource manual will be developed. Distribution is planned for the Spring 2005 Conference.

You are invited to join the members of this committee in its efforts to provide information, networking and training to the reporting centers in Illinois. Please feel free to send articles to Ben Manley, Committee Chairman , Sangamon County Juvenile Probation, 2201 South Dirksen, Springfield, IL 62703 . Telephone 217-747-8052, Fax 217-747-8022, or by email at Beniem@co.sangamon.il.us. The committee’s next meeting is February 10, 2005 at the Law and Justice Building in Bloomington at 10:00am.

Detention Committee

 

Efforts are underway to rejuvenate the Detention Committee by acquiring membership representation from all 16 detention facilities in the state. The committee met at both 2004 conferences. Many Detention Committee members, along with various Probation Directors and AOIC staff, were participants at a Juvenile Detention Managers’ Retreat that was held at Starved Rock in January 2004 for the purpose of developing a mission statement and planning for the future of Illinois Juvenile Detention. The retreat was an invigorating experience for participants, and it resulted in the following mission, vision and core values for Illinois Juvenile Detention:

 

Mission

To further justice by providing a safe, caring environment that guides children in our care toward productive, lawful lives, and enhances community safety and well-being.

 

Vision

Minors in the Illinois juvenile justice system are valued as human beings and treated with respect and dignity, their diversity embraced and potential affirmed. Thus, juvenile detention in Illinois has become part of an integrated system of care where…

 

4      Only kids with the highest risk to harm others are detained for as little time as absolutely necessary.

4      Caring, competent, compassionate staff are helping kids build skills for productive, law-abiding lives.

4      Our programming is reducing risk to re-offend, and we can prove it.

 

Core Values

4      Children are our greatest natural resource and represent our collective future.

4      Justice and Public safety are community concerns and can only be achieved through collective and collaborative efforts.

4      In order for a justice system to have integrity, it must be based upon respect for the individual and the understanding that the always present potential for change can only be realized through the building of positive relationships.

 

Following a presentation provided by Steven Kossman at the Spring 2004 Conference, the CMO Committee voted unanimously to endorse the detention mission, vision and value statements as drafted at the January 2004 retreat. The Detention Committee will continue to work to further promote this effort in jurisdictions state wide. Additionally, focus will be placed upon developing training tracks for IPCSA conferences that directly relate to the work performed by juvenile detention staff. Tom Ambrose of UIS Institute for Legal, Administrative and Policy Studies, provided Detention Committee members in attendance at the fall conference with an overview regarding a newly designed on-line training program. Detention officers will be required to complete the program prior to attendance at Detention Basic training. A follow-up meeting between detention administrators, AOIC and Tom Ambrose was held in Springfield on September 13, 2004, and the first on-line class was piloted prior to the Basic training which was held the week of October 4, 2004.

There are numerous issues and initiatives in which the Detention Committee will be involved. During the coming year there will be at least four Committee meetings, two of which will be held in conjunction with the IPCSA conferences and additional meetings in December and June. A meeting will be held the first week of December 2004 at the Champaign County Juvenile Detention Center, with the specific date to be announced. Anyone interested in joining the committee may do so by contacting Connie Kaiser at 217-384-3780 or ckaiser@co.champaign.il.us.

Congratulations New IPCSA Officers

New Committee

The following is the formal petition submitted to the IPCSA Executive Board for the formation of a new committee — the Technology Committee. Upon review and consideration of the Board, it was agreed to present the petition in the form of a referendum to the full membership. A majority vote by the membership will pass the referendum. The formal petition is as follows:

My name is John Becker and I am the Director of Kendall County Court Services. Myself, along with Kendall County G.P.S. Officer Jennifer Sullivan, would like to formally petition the Board for the creation of a new committee of the Association.

Since my arrival to Kendall County in 1996, the court services department has been actively involved in creating and operating offender management programs involving advanced technology. These programs have included Voice I.D. Curfew, Electronic Monitoring using RF technology, Home Alcohol Testing, and Global Positioning System. These programs have allowed our judiciary to keep juvenile and adult offenders from formal incarceration, provide more restrictive monitoring for violent offenders, choices when considering conditions of bond, and sentencing alternatives. The County Board has also experienced substantial savings in juvenile detention dollars and adult jail fees.

Technology advancements in the field of Court Services has also included case management systems, offender reporting equipment, drug testing, internet activities of sex offenders, internet sites for gathering in-depth personal histories, and others. In the State of Illinois, there are many counties that utilize one or more of the above stated technologies. However, there is no mechanism in place for the sharing of information. It is my belief that creating a Technology Committee would help counties share information about programs and equipment that is being used and what is working and what is not. The committee could also serve all counties in the State by being a resource when new programs are being considered or identified concerns are being brainstormed.

As programs involving new technology continue to become available, the Association should have a committee assigned to this special field. Jennifer Sullivan and I are willing to co-chair this committee and establish additional committee members. Jennifer will be attending the upcoming conference in Chicago and will be available should you or any of the board members have any questions. I will be in the office during the conference and can be contacted there. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

 

Sincerely,

 

John L. Becker Jennifer Sullivan

Gender Responsivity

Committee

 

Generosity Encourages

More Generosity

 

 

The Gender Responsivity Committee (GRC) thanks everyone who bought raffle tickets at the 2004 Fall Conference in Chicago, IL. The GRC was kindly given permission to hold the 50/50 raffle at this conference and this resulted in $626 being raised. The winning ticket belonged to Diana Waivra from the Department of Human Services. Diana graciously donated her winnings to the charity the GRC chose. This resulted in the entire amount of $626 going to Deborah’s Place, a shelter for homeless and formerly homeless women (a private not-for-profit corporation serving women in Chicago. Food, shelter and supportive services are provided by dedicated volunteers and staff so that women can become empowered to take back and maintain control over their lives).

An important item on the GRC’s agenda at the conference was to articulate a tremendous thank you to our out going co-chair, Toni Davis, and to vote on a new co-chair. After receiving votes at the committee meeting and from members who were unable to attend, it is the GRC’s pleasure to announce that Melissa Spooner, Supervisor from Cook County Juvenile Probation, is the newest co-chair of this committee.

Future plans for the committee are to get started on preparing for the 2^nd annual craft sale to take place at the 2005 Spring Conference in Rockford, IL, put together a directory of current gender responsive programming being done throughout the state, working with AOIC on developing the Gender Responsivity Guidelines Manual, and recruiting new committee members to the GRC. Letters will be sent to each county requesting participation in having your female offenders make crafts that can be sold at the spring conference. The money raised from the craft sale will be given to a charity in or around the Rockford area. A member of the GRC will be asked to pick up the counties once they are finished and bring them to the conference. If there are any questions, please contact one of the co-chairs.

The Gender Responsivity Committee will convene at the 2005 Spring Conference at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, April 13, 2005 in Rockford, IL. All IPCSA members are welcome to attend. For more information, contact the co-chairs: Ava Carpenter (Sangamon County) at 217-747-8016, Tracy Phillabaum (DuPage County) 630-407-2536, or Melissa Spooner (Cook County) 312-433-4446.

Domestic Violence Committee

 

The subject of domestic violence was well represented at the Fall 2004 Conference. Attendees were able to attend workshops sponsored by IPCSA Domestic Violence Committee, the AOIC DV Committee, and through the Judicial Track. Topics included probation officers awareness of and sensitivity to issues related to domestic violence survivors; efforts by probation officers to service clients in times of budget cuts and limited resources; research about domestic violence offenders and appropriate interventions; and the expectations and challenges in addressing domestic violence within a coordinated community response. All the workshops were recurring themes—the importance of court systems and probation officers to recognize the dynamics of domestic violence and the societal attitudes and beliefs that affect how court systems respond to both the perpetrator and the many layers of victims.

The Domestic Violence Committee continues to focus on issues that are of interest to officers across the state who manage these caseloads. The next scheduled meeting of the committee is Friday, January 14, 2005 from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the McLean County Law and Justice Center, 104 West Front Street, Bloomington, IL. For further information about becoming part of the Domestic Violence Committee, please contact Joni Gilbertson of Woodford County at 309-467-3532 or Linda Hart of Cook County-Social Service at 773-869-6056.

Pretrial Services Committee

 

 

 

The 2004 Fall IPCSA Conference in Chicago in some ways represented a milestone for the pretrial services profession in Illinois in that it was the first time that a pretrial-specific training workshop was organized for the benefit of pretrial professionals and practitioners. The Honorable Judge Bruce Beaudin from Washington, D.C. presented his nationally-recognized “Pretrial 101” Workshop, which provided a basic understanding of the pretrial services movement, the history of bail and pretrial release, its constitutional and case-law underpinnings, and the purpose of bail. It was a well-attended event and encourages more pretrial-related training will be a regular event at IPCSA Conferences. We once again thank and appreciate the support of John Prinzi and Jim Grundel of AOIC in making this event a reality.

 

The Committee met in July and at the fall conference. Several items were discussed including defining a Pretrial Services Advisory Committee Mission Statement, developing a Pretrial Services link with the IPCSA website, and creating a pretrial-specific training and program survey to determine the training needs of pretrial practitioners. In reference to pretrial training, the National Association of Pretrial Services Agencies (NAPSA) is developing a pretrial services certification program (Project Certification) which not only will “certify” individuals based on their level of knowledge and expertise of the pretrial services profession, but in effect can be viewed as a training and education opportunity. (See NAPSA’s website, www.napsa.org, for more information.) Committee members that were present also were introduced to Dave Hitchcock who was recently transferred to AOIC’s Probation Services Division and will be taking over for John Prinzi. One of Dave’s goals is to work with the various pretrial programs in the state and to identify staff development needs, including training that is specifically related to the needs of pretrial practitioners. Dave works out of the Springfield office and can be contacted by phone at 217-785-3489.

 

As you can see, a lot is happening with the Pretrial Services Committee and if you are interested in becoming a member of the or just want to get involved to some extent or offer your input, please contact Anita Mendenhall by email at (amendenhall@probation.co.macon.il.us) or Keith Cooprider at (kcooprider@co.lake.il.us). Pretrial Services programs and practitioners need to coalesce and network with each other so we can become a vital dynamic in the practice of criminal justice in Illinois. One way of becoming involved in the future growth, development, and enhancement of pretrial services in Illinois is to participate in IPCSA and the Committee also encourages the professional pretrial officer to think about looking into NAPSA membership. They have great, informative conferences and you have the opportunity to learn what other, out-of-state programs are doing.

Resource Committee

 

 

A total of 25 vendors exhibited at the fall conference in Chicago. Two new vendors attended the conference along with those vendors who have supported IPCSA consistently throughout the years. A wide range of probation-related services available from across the state and the country were on display at the conference. Nine of the 25 vendors came from out of state. Conference participants were afforded an opportunity to interact with the vendors before and after the workshops, as well as, at a reception held on Wednesday evening.

All vendors pay an exhibit fee to display at the conference, which generates revenue to support IPCSA. In addition to paying the exhibit fee, Streamwood Behavioral Health Center sponsored a workshop and breaks were sponsored by Arrowhead Ranch, Hartgrove Hospital, and Norman Sleezer Youth Home.

The Resource Committee encourages the IPCSA membership to support these vendors by using their services when needed and appropriate. The vendors who participated in the Fall Conference include:
