Court Monitoring —Illinois
Cook County courthouses: Daley Center, Bridgeview, and Maywood
The Illinois Court Monitoring Program was born in 2008 and has since been funded, in part, through a grant managed by the Illinois Department of Transportation. In the past 15 years, Court Monitoring Specialists have monitored approximately 60,000 misdemeanor and felony DUI cases throughout the state. In addition to spending time in court rooms, specialists build relationships with law enforcement and prosecutors. They participate in community events including National Night Out activities. Specialists also take calls from the public pertaining to either the prosecution or adjudication of cases. Some of these calls have led to active investigations. Specialists also partner with MADD Victim Service Specialists to share case information that assists advocates in providing services. In 2023, the program was fully staffed with six Court Monitoring Project Specialists and a Manager. For the 2024 grant cycle, we have received funding for a second full - time Court Monitoring staff member.
