MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Argoudelis and Village Trustees
From: John Konopek, Chief of Police
Joshua Blakemore, Village Administrator
Date: Monday, April 11th, 2022
Re: Association for Individual Development (AID)
Over the last several years, police departments throughout the entire country have been tasked with the
influx of mental health-related calls for service. Most of these assignments are non-criminal in nature
and place police officers, who are not trained as psychologists or mental health experts, and villages in a
difficult position.
The police department has done a tremendous job of being proactive with providing our police officers
with up-to-date and relevant training enabling our police officers the ability to handle some of the most
complex assignments, including mental health-related calls for service. Currently, almost half of our
officers have successfully completed the Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training course, which is a forty
(40) hour certification training course specialized in dealing with people with mental health crisis. Our
police department’s strategic plan and intent is to certify all sworn officers in the police department,
which is a continual work in progress.
To help address some of the mental health-related calls for service, Staff strongly believes in the
consideration of hiring a therapist to complement what is already being done in the police department to
better serve the residents of the Village of Plainfield as well as providing additional resources and
training to the employees of the Village. The corroboration of police officers and mental health
professionals is paramount in providing the best available resources to our residents resulting in the
most favorable outcome. According to an article published by United States Department of Justice
(Police-Mental Health Collaborations A Framework for Implementing Effective Law Enforcement Responses for
People Who Have Mental Health Needs – April 2019), “Understanding a need for greater collaboration,
many law enforcement and behavioral health agencies have begun taking important steps to improve
responses to people who have mental health needs. These efforts have led to improvements in practices,
such as providing mental health training to law enforcement workforces and including mental health,
crisis intervention, and stabilization training as part of some states’ law enforcement training standards.”
Through research and referrals from other police departments, Staff recommends considering the
services of Association for Individual Development (AID). AID provides services 24/7/365 at an
approximate cost of $15,000 annually. Those services include, but are not limited to, assisting victims of
crimes, emotional support, facilitating referrals to counseling and support groups, mediating non-
criminal disputes, and providing relevant and beneficial training to employees of the Village.
Additionally, Staff recommends having a therapist on-site two days a week. The cost of such service is
an additional $20,000 annually. The on-site therapist would be readily available to members of the
Village for personal assistance, referrals, handle follow-up work assigned, and offer in-service training
for all Village employees.

VICTIM SERVICES
WHAT IS VICTIM SERVICES?
Association for Individual Development (AID)
Victim Services provides emotional support,
case management, referrals and other wrap
around services to individuals who are victims of
crime or trauma. Services are free of charge.
Services are not limited to victims of crime or
trauma. Individuals experiencing quality of life
concerns (i.e. mental health crisis, domestic
disturbances, neighbor disputes, or displacement
due to fire) may also receive services.
AID CAN HELP WITH:
• Surviving and understanding the impact
of the crime or trauma
• Emotional Support
• Connecting with local support groups,
counseling and other services
• Accessing local resources
• Knowing what to say to children, family
and friends
• Learning your legal rights and options
• Funerals and court preparations
• Making a safety plan
• Accessing victim’s compensation
WHERE ARE SERVICES PROVIDED?
Services are provided wherever they are needed;
at the scene of the incident, at AID offices or
another safe location.
HOW ARE VICTIMS REFERRED?
Individuals in need of Victim Services may
be referred by law enforcement, local fire
departments, hospital personnel,
the judicial system, social service agencies
and local businesses.
AID strives to positively impact the quality of life
in the community by assisting victims, survivors,
families, neighborhoods and businesses who
have experienced a crime or trauma.
When a person experiences a traumatic event
they may begin to experience emotional or
physical reactions to the event.
• Sometimes, these “emotional aftershocks,” or
reactions may appear immediately after the
event or days, weeks, or months later.
• If you experience some of these reactions,
try to remember that you are having a normal
reaction to an abnormal event.
• Stress reactions to an event may last a few
days, a few weeks, or a few months.
• If this happens it does not imply that
someone is “crazy” or weak it simply means
the traumatic event was too powerful for
the person to manage on their own and
professional support may be needed.
• Possible “emotional aftershock”
symptoms include but are not limited to
nausea, headaches, sleep disturbances,
slowed thinking, anxiety, depression,
emotional outbursts and withdrawal.

Re: An Ordinance Regulating Video Gaming
Background Findings
I i I Initit h.iIi1fns
1• X1...1 1 1-IlmillE l'l' _1 111
VILLAGE OF
PLAINFIELD
Attached is a proposed Ordinance Regulating Video Gaming, permitting video gaming terminals in
certain establishments licensed by the Village for the on -premise sale and consumption of alcohol.
The proposed Ordinance is presented for the Board's consideration in a different form than previously
presented. After further review of the Illinois Video Gaming Act and related rules and regulations of the
Illinois Gaming Board, and in an effort to present a comprehensive proposed Ordinance, staff prepared a
revised Video Gaming Ordinance separate from the Village's current Liquor Licensing Ordinance. This
allows the Village to include additional substantive provisions without creating undue issues with the
current Liquor Licensing Ordinance.
The attached proposed Ordinance addresses the Board's previous concerns regarding video gaming,
including but not limited to, application and eligibility requirements, preclusion of video cafes and
accountability.
Policy Considerations
The Illinois Video Gaming Act, (230 ILCS 40/1 et seq.), regulates the operation, licensing and
administration of video gaming in the State, and authorizes the Village to regulate video gaming within
its corporate limits.
The Illinois Liquor Control Act of 1934, (235 ILCS 5/4-1 et seq.), grants the Village authority to regulate
local licenses for the sale and on -premise consumption of alcoholic liquor.
The Illinois Municipal Code, (625 ILCS 5/1-2-1, et seq.), grants authority to municipalities to adopt
ordinances not inconsistent with the criminal laws of the State, and to regulate matters within the
authorized powers of the municipality.
Financial Considerations
Financial considerations are limited to the tax revenue generated from net terminal income.
Recommendation
The proposed Ordinance is presented to the Village Board for review and consideration.
10
Attached for the Board's review and consideration are the following:
Draft Ordinance Regulating Video Gaming
4 maps showing the 100 -foot buffer — This appears to only be an issue in the Downtown —Tortilla
Flatz and Backroads were both in their current locations before the church in that area, therefore
both establishments would still be eligible for a gaming license. (There is no ability to waive the
100 -foot requirement)
Spreadsheet showing revenue from video gaming terminals in neighboring municipalities
Report from the Police Department on issues with gaming terminal locations — overall the impact
to most Police Department's appears to have been very minimal
