An item summary sheet was presented by Chief Wax to Committee. Chief Wax provided background noting current safes are mounted in all the vehicles and in each station. Concerns with current model is that they are no longer supported by the company and biggest issue is that they can’t be remotely controlled. Staff must go to each safe and manually program them if a person leaves or a new person comes on board. The department is seeking to get a new model (just the front doors of the safe) which allows the department to receive services if needed and to remotely program the safes.

FROM: Kasia Cawley, Police Chief ITEM TYPE: Action Item - Committee REQUEST SUMMARY The radar system in all front line police vehicles are currently outdated and not under warranty, and purchasing new radars will allow for more precise and reliable speed targeting. In previous years, the Police Department has utilized the State of Illinois Joint Purchasing Program to provide the lowest costs based on volume discounting by vendors to provide products or services. However, in FY2024 there is no state contract awarded through this program. The police department requested quotes from three reputable vendors to include the cost of the radar system and all necessary accessories to be paired. Kustom Signals Inc of Lexena, KS, provided a quote at $48,639.05. Dana Safety Supply of Miami, FL, was unable to provide a custom quote, but the pricing listed on their website totaled $143,305.64. Applied Concepts Inc. of Richardson, TX, was the lowest bidder and provided pricing for a complete radar package for twenty-three (23) DSR Stalker Radars plus accessories including a 60- month warranty for $35,075.00. FINANCIAL IMPACT There is sufficient funding in the asset forfeiture account to purchase twenty-three (23) speed radar systems for all front line police vehicles. RECOMMENDATION Authorization to waive formal bidding and purchase twenty-three (23) DSR Stalker Radar Systems from Applied Concepts Inc., Richardson, TX, in an amount not to exceed $35,075.00.

The current safes are MedixSafes by Bioconnect, and they have been in use since 2018. The only “operational” part of each safe is the front door. Each door has a latch, keypad, and display screen. To access contents of the safes, each employee has their own code to be entered on the keypad. Besides for entry to the safes, it allows for tracking of who accessed the safes and when. The following are issues of concern: • The company will no longer service these older-model safes. • Currently, every time an employee is hired, changes paramedic status, or leaves the Department, each of the twenty safes must be physically hooked-up to a computer and reprogrammed for the change. As this may happen several times per year, and since the safes are scattered throughout the Village on the vehicles and in the fire stations, this is a very time-consuming and inefficient process. The requested purchase leaves the current safes in place, as they are still in good condition, but provides a retrofit kit that replaces the front doors of the current safes with a new door that the company will service, and that will allow all safes to be reprogrammed remotely through the “cloud.” The Village’s IT Department has tested the new door and confirms that the remote- programming function works well with the Village’s systems. Page 1 of 2 Page 12 of 46 Therefore, the Fire Department respectfully requests approval to purchase the retrofit kits, software, and service subscription. FINANCIAL IMPACT $38,977 from the Fire Department’s EMS Division in the Operating Budget RECOMMENDATION Approval to waive bidding (due to sole source) and purchase twenty (20) MedixSafe narcotic safe retrofit kits, software, and a five-year service subscription from Bioconnect of Memphis, TN in an amount not to exceed $38,977.

We had multiple applications for the cadet program and inquiries about volunteer hours afterward. August 24 – Chief Cawley, Deputy Chief Bending, Officer Ortiz, and many other HEPD personnel attended the Special Olympics Truck Convoy at the Now Arena. We had the opportunity to raise money for the athletes of the Special Olympics. There was a huge turnout and even had a showdown between two companies for the Lead Truck auction. We estimate raising approximately $80,000 for Special Olympics. It was by far the most we’ve raised compared to years past! It was such a rewarding experience to be a part of. August 26 – HEPD had the honor of volunteers visiting from the Raksha Bandhan HSS to celebrate Universal Oneness Day – a Hindu Raksha Bandhan Festival. This simply translates to “Protection connection” between siblings. However, this organization began expanding the festival's tradition to include first responders and community leaders as a sign of appreciation and gratitude. Page 20 of 46 P o l i c e D e p a r tm e n t P age 8 CADET POST 806 August 14, 21 and 28 – The Cadets had their first meetings of the school year. They viewed a PowerPoint presentation on how to conduct traffic stops. They learned the proper way to conduct a traffic stop from the beginning until the very end. Videos were shown that tied in to the topics discussed and there was an open conversation about the reasons officers conduct stops the way that they do in order to keep themselves and the public safe. At the end of each meeting, the cadets took a short quiz to test their knowledge and how much they learned from the lesson. Afterward, they were taught how to handcuff and were explained the safety behind it. They then had the opportunity to practice with each other and the advisors. They called out their traffic stops to dispatch and spelled the driver’s names to dispatch. They also learned other terms they may hear from a dispatcher and what exactly it means. New cadets and volunteers had the opportunity to watch senior cadets do a traffic stop first before trying one themselves. They had the opportunity to ask questions and solidify their skills. The plan is to keep building off of these basic traffic stops to make them harder as the weeks pass. TRAFFIC SECTION REPORT Sergeant Wondolkowski reviewed 183 red light camera violations for a total time of 2.7 hours. The Traffic Section reviewed 18 hit and run traffic crash reports. Sergeant Wondolkowski processed 26 oversize/overweight permits through the Oxcart permit system. Year- to-date Sergeant Wondolkowski has processed 182 permit requests. August 27 - Officer Witt had an MCAT / STAR Team callout for a fatal crash investigation in Mount Prospect. August 15 – August 18 - Officer Witt attended The International Chiefs of Police Impaired Driving Conference in Washington DC. The department speed trailer was placed on Winston and Norman Drive as well as Fairmont Road between Golf and Higgins Roads. Locations were determined based on traffic complaints received by the department.

Being a police officer changes the way officers think, respond, and manage stress which can significantly impact officers’ overall wellbeing. Police officers are often unaware to the changes happening within them until they present physically and socially but even then, police officers and families may not understand why changes are occurring. The Village of Hoffman Estates Health & Human Services Department extern Jasmoniqua Cleveland offered a 15 minute private stress screening for officers which provided a chance to briefly discuss the impact of policing on the officer’s overall wellbeing, and resources and tools to manage the stressors of the job. Stress screenings were held at the Police Department from 3pm-9pm on August 2nd. Thirteen officers participated in the screenings. The 2023-2024 Psychology Training Program interns and externs completed their training with the Village of Hoffman Estates Health and Human Services on August 13th and August 16th, 2024. Throughout their year in HHS, students provided direct clinical therapy services, psychological testing services, community workshops and presentations, and developed and attended community events and resource fairs. Their contributions to serving the community have been appreciated. Health and Human Services director Dr. Monica Saavedra and community health nurse Gina McCauley attended the Wine Wednesday event on 21, 2024. At the event, Health and Human Services was presented with a check for $1,000 from the Schaumburg-Hoffman Lions Club for the Village’s Self- Help Fund. The self-help fund assists residents of Hoffman Estates who are experiencing hardship and whose circumstances may fall outside of additional emergency assistance programming. Residents must meet criteria and demonstrate hardship to participate in the program. On August 3, 2024, the Youth Commission hosted an educational reptile show for the community in partnership with Cold Blooded Parties. Seventy-six (76) people attended the event. Page 26 of 46 HHS hosted a WITS Workout class for older adults at Village Hall on August 15, 2024. Eight (8) peo- ple attended the class. The WITS Workout program provides participants with a variety of games and tasks that help enhance memory, learn new skills, and have social engagement. The WITS Workout program will be available monthly to residents of Hoffman Estates and will resume it’s second site for classes at Haverford in the Fall. Health and Human Services provides quality preventative health services to the community. In Au- gust, nursing staff provided 134 infant and children’s vaccinations and 3 adult vaccinations. Through these vaccinations, a total of 235 child and 7 adult antigens were administered. One hundred eleven (111) preventative screenings were completed which include blood pressure (28), and pulse screenings (17), Blood Sugar (15), Hemoglobin (12), CardioCheck (6), TB (12), A1C (4) tests, and Tanita (5). Nursing staff provided Bone Density clinics for the community. Twelve (12) bone density screenings were completed. Nursing staff provided 45 hours of consultation during the month of August. Vision and Hearing Screenings were conducted to screen pre-school age children. These screenings assist with identifying difficulties in vision and hearing and utilize developmentally-appropriate techniques to screen children and identify any necessary referral or follow-up. During August, 167 vision and hearing screenings were completed. Treatment and Crisis Response Health and Human Services provides in-person therapy services and telehealth psychotherapy services for the community and Village employees. During the month of August, clinical psychology staff served 107 clients and provided 156 hours of individual counseling, 2 hours of family counseling, 3 clinical intakes, and 12 hours of crisis counseling. With the conclusion of the training year, clients completed termination sessions during the first week of August and were placed on a transfer list to begin services with new therapists beginning in September. Therapy services address a variety of mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, suicidal ideation, and family con- flict. During the month of August, Health and Human Services and Police Social Workers, conducted crisis outreach and intervention. Crisis intervention services include making calls to the Department of Chil- dren and Family Services (DCFS), safety planning and hospitalization for clients experiencing suicidal ideation, providing assistance and resources to residents facing mental health emergencies homeless- ness, domestic violence, and the need for substance abuse referrals. During the month of August, Po- lice Social Workers, completed 240.5 hours of crisis calls in the community. Page 27 of 46 Emergency Assistance HHS continues to be a volunteer service extension site for the Salvation Army program. Through this program, HHS provides Salvation Army Emergency Assistance services to Hoffman Estates’ residents in need. This fund provides limited financial support to families who show a need due to an unex- pected emergency (i.e. insufficient funds for rent or past due utility bill). Staff meets with each client for approximately 30 minutes to assess the need for additional services and/or referrals. During the month of August, 5 residents were assisted through the Salvation Army program. HHS is a designated site for individuals to apply for the Nicor Gas Sharing program. The program provides payment assistance with gas bills for those who qualify and meet income requirements. Dur- ing the month of August, 2 residents were assisted. The Health and Human Services Lending Closet loans wheelchairs, crutches, canes, walkers, and knee scooters to residents for a small fee. During August, 2 items were loaned to Village residents. Sharps Recycling Program Health and Human Services offers sharps recycling on the first Wednesday of each month. During the month of August, Health and Human Services collected sharps on the first of the month and at the Community Recycling Event held at Village hall on August 24, 2024. During the month of August, 258 pounds of sharps were collected. Charlie’s Check-In In August, Charlie sat in on 27 therapy sessions, participated in Charlie visits around Village Hall, did various meet and greets with clients in the HHS lobby, and continued working on training. Charlie was also excited to participate in Village Hall Selfie Day and can be seen here enjoying his selfie with his friends in HHS.

I also have been working with HRM to finalize some updates on our village emergency plans to include adaptations for communications and lockdown procedures. These should be finalized over the next month and be redistributed to village employees for additional training. Another large project for this month was the Emergency Management Preparedness Grant (EMPG) application for the 2024-2025 cycle. This process includes setting up a projected budget, objectives, goals, and narratives for IEMA and FEMA to review. Once accepted, the village will receive approximately 50% of the Emergency Management operating budget through this grant. Expenses include the EOC internet, the JEMS annual costs and additional expenses for training. This year’s annual Severe Weather Drill was scheduled for August 13th at Village Hall. All employees working at Village Hall participated in this drill by finding their closest shelter location within the building. This also allowed us to test the intercom system. Event preparations and planning started this month for the Platzkonzert German Festival that included the development of the Event Action Plan and resource requests to Cook County Emergency Management and Regional Security. The Continuity of Operations/ Continuity of Government Plan (COOP/COG) is in the revision process this month and should be finalized by the first week of October. This process includes having each department director review vendors, contacts, and priorities within their respective departments. Once finalized, I will compile all of the revisions, and this document will be reviewed by JEMS and IEMA. The COOP/COG is a document used to establish a framework of how our village operates in the event of a large-scale emergency where certain aspects or departments may be offline, unavailable, or disrupted. The goal of this document is to maintain our government operations during those disruptions with minimal impact by preplanning. Page 32 of 46 August 2024 EMA Team: The EMA team participated in this year’s National Night Out at the Police Department. The team passed out information on severe weather, winter weather preparedness and power outage information to the public. Our giveaways included tornado tattoos and severe weather stickers. This month, the EMA team begins working at both High Schools for their home football games for traffic assistance. The EMA team has provided assistance over the years due to an increased attendance and poor traffic flow into their parking lots. Outlook: Outdoor Warning Siren to replace HE11, which is located at Rohressen Rd, ¼ mile south of Shoe Factory Rd will be upgraded in September, according to Fulton Sirens. In September, our village will be participating in a JEMS Emergency Operations Center Full-Scale Exercise with multiple other villages to simulate working together within a mutual aid structure. This unique exercise will allow our village and our neighbors to have a uniformed approach in how we work an Emergency Operations Center when dealing with a large-scale emergency. This exercise is scheduled for mid-September.
