Pritzker signs a slate of public safety bills

Behavioral health co-responders will be working with law enforcement in four cities by the end of this year....

The $10 million co-responder program will be piloted in Peoria, Springfield. Waukegan, and East St Louis through 2029.

This is poorly disguised walking around money for the Dems to manufacture enough votes to wipe out the last traces of Republican resistance in Illinois.

Pritzker only needs to win 5 counties to get re-elected. Guess which 5 counties this money is going to.

<<>> Baltimore Safe Streets social worker killed in quadruple shooting [January 22, 2022]

A quadruple shooting in Baltimore on Wednesday left three people dead, including a Safe Streets worker.

DaShawn McGrier – who had been working with Safe Streets for a little more than a month as a violence interrupter at McElderry Park – lost his life, along with two others, during a shooting on E. Monument Street, the Baltimore Sun reported.

A spokesperson for the Living Classrooms Foundation, which oversees Safe Streets sites in the McElderry Park and Belair-Edison neighborhoods, described McGrier as a “passionate” man who looked out for his community.

“He was passionate about reducing violence in the community and wanted to be a positive part of that,” said spokeswoman Meg Ward. “He was from the community. He wanted the best for his community.”

“He knew that violence and trauma were present in the community, and he wanted to change that,” Ward added of McGrier.
