Sheriffs from across Illinois are in support of collaborative efforts to revamp and revise portions of the controversial SAFE-T Act, saying that changes need to be made to strengthen public safety, judicial authority, and community trust.
In a statement released last week, the Illinois Sheriffs Association (ISA) issued a statement welcoming Governor J.B. Pritzker's recent openness to consider changes to the law following several high-profile incidents that raised new concerns about its impact.
Areas to be looked at for improvement include the expansion of judicial discretion in pretrial detentions, and expansion of the list of detainable offenses, addressing the financial gaps created by the elimination of cash bail and improving transparency in sentencing.
