TRENT During Fiscal Year 2004, the Illinois State Police (ISP) continued in its commitment and effort toward improving public safety and meeting the increasing challenges facing the state of Illinois and our nation. The ISP Fiscal Year 2004 Annual Report (ISP FY04 Annual Report) documents the broad range of programs, tasks, and achievements of the Department. The 2004 Fiscal Year, which the information from this report is based upon, covers the twelve month period from July 1, 2003 to June 30, 2004. Fiscal Year 2004 marked the beginning of the Department’s focus on fulfilling the priorities and initiatives set forth in the FY04 - FY07 ISP Strategic Plan. Improving the safety of our communities and highways was accomplished in FY04 through various special enforcement programs conducted throughout the state which resulted in decreases in both crime and fatal crashes when compared to FY03. The Department continued its efforts toward combating terrorism by working in conjunction with state, federal, and local agencies to share information and resources in order to reduce vulnerability to attacks and develop both proactive and reactive responses to terrorism. Great strides were made in enhancing technology which has resulted in improved communications and laid the groundwork for enhanced information sharing between criminal justice agencies. The accomplishments in FY04 were made possible due to the Department’s continued emphasis on the efficiency and integrity of its employees. In addition to the immediate successes experienced in FY04, the efforts of Department personnel have paved the way for the future of the ISP, ensuring its continued reputation as one of the premier law enforcement agencies in the country. The innovative programs and policies currently underway will result in a more efficient and effective manner through which law enforcement is conducted and continually improve the safety and well-being of the citizens of Illinois. I sincerely thank the men and women of the ISP for their dedication and contribution to the continued success of this Department. Larry G.

  • CHAPTER 2. Hazard Profiles and Loss Estimation
    CHAPTER 2. Hazard Profiles and Loss Estimation Following the guidance provided in FEMA’s mitigation planning how-to guide, Understanding Your Risks: Identifying Hazards and Estimating Losses (FEMA 386-2), the Jersey County Hazard Mitigation Planning Team initially reviewed local records and existing mitigation plans, conducted informal interviews with local experts from the public and private sectors – including emergency responders and individuals at institutions of higher education – and researched data available on state and federal Websites to ascertain the natural hazards that posed any potential risk to Jersey County. This initial stage of research indicated that additional research should be conducted on the following hazards: earthquakes, extreme heat, floods, hailstorms, land subsidence, severe winter storms, tornadoes, wildfires, and windstorms. Of these hazards, the following were deemed the most prevalent: earthquakes, floods, severe thunderstorms (a category that encompasses hailstorms and windstorms), severe winter storms and tornadoes. These natural hazards and their potential impact on the county are profiled in detail in this chapter. Justification for the exclusion of extreme heat, land subsidence and wildfires from this more detailed profile is provided in a concluding section at the end of this chapter. 2.1 Earthquakes General Information about Earthquakes For hundreds of millions of years, the forces of plate tectonics have shaped the Earth as plates move slowly over, under, and past each other. Most of the time, this movement is gradual. However, sometimes the plates lock together, creating tension. When the accumulated energy grows strong enough, the plates break free, causing the ground to shake. This sudden, rapid shaking of the earth caused by the breaking and shifting of rock beneath the earth’s surface is an earthquake.1 Shaking from earthquakes can collapse buildings and bridges, disrupt gas, electric, and phone services, or trigger landslides, avalanches, or fires.

The full-time civilian category includes civilian employees (includes clerks, stenographers, telecommunicators, mechanics, civilian jail personnel, etc.) who are paid by their agency or federal grant funds. The auxiliary officer category includes those officers who are not on active duty, such as an auxiliary or reserve officer that is subject to report in an emergency situation, and who are not paid by their agency or federal grant funds. Active auxiliary officers are counted under the part-time sworn officer category. Sworn and civilian full-time law enforcement employees by agency type: # of Sworn & Police Sheriff’s Misc. % of Civilian Full-Time Departments Offices Agencies Total Total Employees 0-10 478 13 43 534 52.2% 11-50 232 56 42 330 32.3% 51-200 103 24 11 138 13.5% 200+ 10 9 2 21 2.1% Total 823 102 98 1,023 100.0% The employment rate for law enforcement personnel is calculated as follows: Number of Employees x 1,000 = Employment Rate Jurisdictional Population EXAMPLE: A department with 60 employees and a population of 51,000 has an employment rate of 1.2 per 1,000 inhabitants: 60 x 1,000 = 1.2 Rate per 1,000 Inhabitants 51,000 Law enforcement employment rates should not be directly compared to index crimes, non-index offenses, or the service-related activities performed by law enforcement officers.
