Evanston Police & Parole Agents Conduct Compliance Checks
Evanston Police today worked in partnership with parole agents from the Illinois Department of Corrections and conducted a parole compliance check of parolees residing in Evanston.
This operation has been previously conducted with success between the partnering agencies to ensure that convicted felons released from the penitentiary are complying with the law and the rules set forth upon a parolee after being released from prison. This operation is performed to enhance community safety within Evanston.
Today, thirty-two parolees were contacted by the Illinois Department of Corrections along with Evanston Police Officers accompanying the agents. As a result, three parolees were charged with the listed offenses in this media release and their parole status was violated. Criminally charging parolees during this operation involves the Illinois Department of Corrections to immediately issue a parole violation arrest warrant. The parolee will then appear in bond court on the new criminal charges listed and the individuals are then remanded to the Cook County Department of Corrections. The parolee is then returned back to the custody of the Illinois Department of Corrections Penitentiary system.
Two other individuals not on parole were arrested and charged with misdemeanor offenses as a result of the parole compliance checks at their residences’ they shared with parolees.
