CALUMET CITY, Ill. -- Illinois State Police said Monday they are working to address a"high increase" in juveniles involved in armed crimes, including expressway shootings and carjackings.
They were all under one roof to address violent crimes, including interstate shootings and carjackings - many of them committed by juveniles. Local mayors and police chiefs gathered for a round table discussion at the Calumet Township Community Center hoping to come up with solutions to address violent crimes.
"Adding about 150% more trooper presence during the peak criminal hours," Kelly said."In the Chicagoland area, we've brought troopers from around the state." "A combination of technology, personnel, reallocation - I think it's sending the message appropriately to the community, at least to the criminal community," said Maj. Matthew Gainer, Illinois State Police Investigations.
