Financial transparency of all revenue and

Implementation of Peer Support Program for sworn

In 2019, your Kane County Sheriff’s Office was focused on total transparency and modernization

through collaboration with the supportive County Board and our highly trained, professional staff.

We hoped you found this document to be comprehensive and informative, but not exhaustive. As

we look forward to 2020 and the years ahead, we commit to trending to the ever-changing needs

of our very dynamic community.

It is the philosophy of our command staff to maintain a highly-integrated relationship with our

front line staff to understand the demands they are facing as they serve our citizens, each day.

As we progress into 2020, we are focused on continuing to structure and develop our

Correctional Center resident re-entry programs, medically assisted treatment programming to

further drive down the opioid impact on our community, maintain agility to respond to new

criminal and addiction trends, and expand our technology platform to maintain consistency with

modern public safety capabilities.

We always welcome feedback from the community and encourage citizens to stay engaged with

the Kane County Sheriff’s Office through social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram,

and Twitter. My contact points, both phone and email, are available at KaneSheriff.com under

the “Sheriff” tab. I work to be as accessible as possible for questions or requests from our

residents.

Wishing you a safe and happy 2020, Kane County.

Sincerely,

Ron Hain
