Regional police trainees are rare – one La Salle hopeful tells his story
Bray is fully aware of the hostility towards police officers and while it has in no way deterred him – “It’s what I’ve wanted to do” – he knows of would-be cops who’ve settled on other career paths. Police depart ments are scraping for cadets.
“All the departments I am aware of are struggling to find recruits to fill vacancies,” La Salle County Sher iff Adam Diss said. “We used to com plete testing once every two years for applicants we are now testing every few months.”
By TOM COLLINS tcollins@shawmedia.com
A AND
It is notable Bray is committed to the La Salle Police Department because that’s the one agency that reported a mid-career resignation –an officer who tendered his badge and bolted for the private sector – on the heels of the unpopular law.
A year ago, Springfield enacted police legislation that police warned would drive off sworn cops and scare off recruits. They were wrong about the first part – there haven’t been many departures – but not about the second. Austin Bray, soon to join the La Salle Police Depart ment, leads a scant crop of local recruits. Bray acknowledged a hostile public has scared off peers who’ve opted for other lines of work.
See POLICE, page 3
CLOSER LOOK OF REFORMS
“Everybody is really disgusted with this bill for the most part,” La Salle Police Chief Mike Smudzinski said. “Years ago, a department like La Salle would have 30 to 50 applica tions taken out where now you’re lucky to have eight. Finding good, qualified, dedicated candidates is a struggle.“TheIllinois Legislature created this problem so they can hopefully Scott Anderson – sanderson@shawmedia.com
Austin Bray has wanted to be a cop since boyhood, when family friend and Sheriff’s Deputy Bob Scutt gave him a sheriff’s ball cap. He wore it constantly.“Ihavewanted to be a police offi cer my whole life,” said Bray, a 25-year-old Ottawa native who’s headed to the police academy and then the La Salle Police Department. “I have always viewed police officers as Localheroes.”police chiefs wish there were more young people like Bray who hold police in such esteem – a lot more – because recruits are getting harder to find. After the Illinois General Assem bly passed sprawling crime legisla tion the chiefs warned of an exodus of sworn officers and of difficulty recruiting future officers. The new law abolishes cash bail (in instances), overhauls police certi fication and reforms use-of-force standards, among numerous other provisions. Opponents criticized the lack of transparency in passing the bill and the lack of input from law enforcement officials.
A year after enactment, there has been no mass exodus, save for one resignation and a few early retire ments. Recruiting, however, has become as challenging as they feared.
RECRUITS
When they can test, that is. Men dota Police Chief Greg Kellen said his department was scheduled to test recruits July 17 but had to cancel because of “low applicant interest.” He’s aiming for an October rain date.
“Thisradar.hasbeen and will be an issue for smaller departments,” Hayse said.
solve it as they seem to have all the answers.”PeruPolice Chief Bob Pyszka blames the new law for a recent spate of retirements. Three veteran offi cers decided to call it a career. “All [three] have stated that with the way things are right now for law enforcement community, and since they are old enough to collect their pensions, they would rather retire even though their perspective pen sions are not maxed out,” Pyszka said. “So, yes, I believe it has been accelerated because of the new act.”
Spring Valley Police Chief Adam Curran said the challenges still are playing out, as many provisions have not yet taken effect. Senior officers might still hang it up early, but Cur ran thinks recruits will adapt to the new demands of police life.
“The recruits coming into law enforcement now will not realize the impact of the legislation as much as the veterans in the profession,” Curran said. “The new reforms are what recruits will be taught in their police training, and that training is what they will put into practice on the street.

Other chiefs reported no turnover resulting directly from the act. Ottawa Police Brent Roalson said recent retirees already were eligible while younger officers have refrained from jumping ship despite their mounting frustration. “Most officers have a wait-and-see approach in hopes that some of the reform language is reevaluated and replaced with better legislation,” RoalsonRetentionsaid. isn’t a problem in Ottawa, but recruitment is. Roalson needs five officers from a shallow pool. Of 18 applicants, eight showed for the test and four passed. Ottawa is offering a starting salary of $61,472, promoting it’s taking applicants until Sept. 16. Oglesby Police Chief Doug Hayse hasn’t had any recent retirements or departures, either, but he foresees trouble filling his next vacancy. Hayse recalled when a job opening drew 100 applicants and the last opening drew four. Just as worrisome for Hayse is the growing demand for “lateral hires.” Larger cities lure away small-town cops with the promise of higher pay and better benefits. La Salle and Mendota have lost officers this way and Hayse frets Oglesby is on the big cities’
“Eventually, this will be the new norm in law enforcement, and that is when we will see an increase in the amount of recruits again.”

Putnam County recently has been issued a final property assessment equalization factor of 1.0000.The property assessment equalization factor is used to achieve uniform property assess ments among counties as required by law. The equaliza tion factor currently being assigned is for 2022 taxes and is payable in 2023. The equalization is important because some of the state’s 6,600 local taxing districts overlap into two or more counties, which include school districts, junior college districts, fire protection districts and Assessmentsmore. in Putnam County are currently at 32.88% of market value, based on sales of properties in 2019, 2020 and 2021.
• IVCC ag is now licensed to operate under the Community College Cannabis Vocational Pilot Program.
Last year’s equalization factor for Putnam County was 1.0000. The final assessment equaliza tion factor was issued after a public hearing on the tentative factor. The tentative factor that was issued in June of 2022 was 1.0000.The equalization factor is determined annually for each county by comparing the price of individual properties sold over the past three years to the assessed value placed on those properties by the county supervi sor of assessments or a county assessor.Under a law passed in 1975, property in Illinois should be assessed at one-third of its mar ketFarmvalue.property is assessed dif ferently, with farm homesites and dwellings subject to regular assessing and equalization pro cedures, but with farmland assessed at one-third of its agri culture economic value. Farm land is not subjected to the state equalization factor. The assessed value of an indi vidual property determines what portion of the tax burden a spe cific taxpayer will assume. That individual’s portion of tax responsibility is not changed by the multiplier.

Did know that one of every three bites of food we eat exists because of pollinators such as bees, butterflies, birds andStaffbats?at University of Illinois Extension is aware of this fact and wanted to share this, and other facts, with local youth.
The program began by exploring the pollinator gar dens at Hall High School and observing native flowers through identification markers, observation forms and sketches. The garden was in bloom with black-eyed susans, coneflowers, rattlesnake masters, milkweed varieties and many others for the youth to observe. After getting a sense of the types of flowers in the garden, participants learned about flower traits, which pollinators prefer them and why. For instance, bats prefer fra grant, white flowers that open at night. Flies prefer flowers with unpleasant odors. Once the types of pollinators and flower traits were discussed, partici pants made tissue paper flowers and matched their flowers with the pollinators that would be attracted to each. They also got to observe different flower spe cies, pollinator parts and pollen underAftermicroscopes.learning about the topic, participants made their own pocket greenhouses with baggies and cotton balls to grow their own plants. They also made seed bombs, which was a messy, fun project. The seed bombs were taken home to dry and “throw” into areas void of plant life. The group discussed places such as ditches, empty areas in their backyards or empty gardens to place the seed bombs and watch them grow. Participants left the program with extra seeds, a pol linator ag mag, information on Pollinator Pathways (a pollina tor tracking program) and extra observation sheets. The mes sage they left with was to be con tinued and shared.
The “Pollinator Celebration” is just one of many planned throughout the year. The mission of University of Illinois Extension is to provide practical education to help peo ple, businesses and communi ties solve problems, develop skills and build a better future.
