CL Police Will Check on Sex Offenders on Halloween

A press release from the Crystal Lake Police Department:

October 31st, 2014 Halloween
Sex Offender Address Compliance Verification

This Halloween the Crystal Lake Police Department’s Targeted Response Unit will be conducting Sex Offender and Violent Offender Against Youth address verification compliance checks on all registered offenders residing within the City of Crystal Lake.

The Crystal Lake Police Department conducts these “knock & talks” periodically throughout the year to confirm that offenders are actually residing at their registered addresses.

Under current state law, registered child sex offenders are prohibited from distributing candy or other items to anyone during Halloween.

The City of Crystal Lake currently has 25 offenders required to register under Illinois State Law, 20 of which are listed on the public adult Sex Offender/Violent Offender Against Youth registry. Juvenile offenders and transient offenders are not listed.

The Crystal Lake Police Department recognizes the importance of Illinois’ sex offender registration laws, and is making every effort to ensure compliance with all aspects on the legislation.

The City of Crystal Lake’s Targeted Response Unit, under Chief James Black, maintains our Offender Watch database to manage registered sex offenders in the community. OffenderWatch enables Illinois law enforcement agencies to collaborate and share information with law enforcement partners statewide.

This collaboration provides law enforcement agencies information concerning sex offender movements, history and activities anywhere in the county, state or country.

With Halloween approaching, this is a great resource for parents to identify houses they may wish for their children to avoid while trick or treating. Citizens may access the Crystal Lake Police Department

OffenderWatch Community Web Page 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at the Crystal Lake Police

Department’s web site at http://www.communitynotification.com/il/crystallakepd or access the Illinois

State Police web site online at www.isp.state.il.us/sor.

The Crystal Lake Police will continue to randomly check sex offenders who reside in the City of Crystal Lake to ensure they are in compliance with all requirements under state law.

The Crystal Lake Police Department’s Targeted Response Unit supervisor, Sergeant Rick Neumann, can be reached at 815-356-3756 regarding registered sex offenders and non-compliance information.

CL Police Will Check on Sex Offenders on Halloween — 15 Comments

  1. This is such a fraud.

    The CLPD always sends out this “press release” just before Halloween under the ruse that they’re interested in the Crystal Lake children.

    What a joke.

    This is what phony civil servants do to “convince” the very people they’re screwing and abusing….they want to convince you they’re “interested in the children.”

    What a joke.

    If anything, this reveals the Crystal Lake City Hall is out of touch and that they know they’re despised by their very citizens.

    They’re police department has been a disgrace.

    Why don’t we hear that other municipalities are doing this?

    Because other Police Departments don’t have to “prove” that they’re good guys.

    Sorry, CLPD….your history of thuggish abuse of your own citizens have forced this kind of political sham to convince us otherwise.

  2. Whoa, CLM, what brought this on? You’re a bit touchy on the subject.

    1) We have a sex offender registration law.CLPD had nothing to do with passing it.

    2) Police are required to enforce its provisions, one of which is to ensure that offenders maintain accurate info as to where they are residing.

    3) Offenders are prohibited from passing out candy to kids on Halloween (remember “Hey little girl, would you like some candy?” possibly is what got them into trouble in the first place)

    4) So now the CLPD goes out on Halloween and says “tonight’s the night we’ll check on the sex offenders” and you’re all upset.

    The way I (and probably most people) see it, we’re getting maximum bang for our buck.

    The police will verify residences, any sex offender handing out candy will be toast, the additional effort by the police will add to the number of police on the street when all the kids are out. Seems like a logical move to me.

    What’s the matter, CLM, afraid the police will catch YOU handing out candy?

  3. Wow, ICU2 you are obviously a member of the CLPD who is desperately trying to defend your loser department OR you are simply a dolt, an idiot, a stooge who is clueless to how loser police departments work.

    Nice try, ICU2, but your inane argument actually inadvertently defends my position.

    For the past few years the CLPD (not other PDs) has sent out this ostensibly concerning “press release”.

    You argue their motive is to assure the public and indicate they are “protecting the children.”

    Then, as your defense, you resort to what thuggish police typically do: you intimidate and slander and destroy.

    How do you augment your argument in defense of the CLPD?

    You accuse ME of being a pedophile with absolutely no evidence.

    You suggest that my anger at your PD is based on my defensive posture of being a pedophile, an abuser of children.

    Wow….that’s great.

    You make me sick while you make a fool of yourself and your CLPD.

    Re-read your counter-argument: AS you try to defend your beloved CLPD against my accusation that they attack their citizens, YOU ATTACK ME FOR PRECISELY WHAT I’M CRITCIZING YOUR DEPARTMENT FOR !!!!!

    You are a thug, ICU2.

    Mr. Lowery and Linder would be proud to call you one of them.

  4. ‘ICU2″ No one has a problem with officers doing their job and acting ethnically. I seem to remember a person that traveled over state lines to kill the ex spouse and the CLPD did nothing about their former employee, even though they had absolute evidence to support the claim…
    There is a lot of bias over there. They clearly have a twisted sense of priorities at the CLPD. The boys or shall I say “keystone cops” went on a hunt for someone who stole some flowers and the container they were in. Yet, they did nothing about the person that made direct threats to kill someone… I was laughing my ass off when they came to the door with their little pad and paper on the hunt for a stolen flowerpot. Gee, don’t tell me Dean Lisi was investigating? Now that says it all. I asked, “Do you guys really investigate stolen flower pots?” They said yes. Seems to me you all need to have your heads examined. For everyone’s sake Dean Lisi, do not be asking Bill Prim for a job….lol… Dean sounds like you and Andy Zinke the clown over there would make really good friends. Andy, could donate a chapter of his book “Campaigning for Political Dummies” to Dean baby. Surely, Dean baby has some really juicy info he has yet to share with the public. Come on Dean fork it over. You boys really need to get your priorities straight. That is if you have some, or know what that means. By the way boys, it was a group of girls that stole the flowers, they walked right past my door. You dimwits!….. They went though the neighborhood more than once. If you need an investigator, don’t bother calling me, wouldn’t be associated with that crew.

  5. “CLM I agree with you they are are phony civil servants. They do have a history of thuggish abuse on our own citizens and it is just a meaningless attempt persuade the public otherwise. Why don’t you big fat fools over there tell the public about one of our citizens that you had falsely arrested 9 times.

    Gosh guys, you are on the brother in-laws Facebook page. Hardly objective or truthful.

    By the way they were found not guilty on all of the charges.

    Apparently, their case went out the window and they lost all credibility when the judge found out that officer Lisi is Facebook friends with the defendants brother in law.

    Several of the arresting officers are on the brother in-laws face book page….

    They have lots of popcorn over there at the City of Crystal Lake and it’s about time they began to sweep house.

    Grab a broom boys? And, that means you too Dean Lisi.

  6. Sadly, I am aware of the horrible abuses by the CLPD as well.

    They aggressively attack people with the most minor offenses with the pure attempt to destroy their lives.

    The “investigators” fail in the truth, the department alter stories, and they lie to the press and other investigators.

    Shame on them.

    They they give violent individuals a pass because of a relationship with them.

    Remember, they were the primary municipal department behind the sham indictment of the States Attorney because Bianchi didn’t play their game: “intimidation, slander, and then destroy” is spot on.

    The Bianchi case is one of many.

  7. I may be wrong on this one, but as I recall it was CLPD deputy chief Lowery who personally gave one of NW Heralds Editors or Writers a pass on a DUI arrest. Just wrote it off.

    Deputy Lowery had to make sure the paper was complicit with the CLPD’s plans to destroy the lives the department wanted to destroy; so they had to give the newspaper dude the pass.

    Then, the NW Herald was in debt to the department.

  8. The editor you are talking about plays cards with “Da Boys” over and the CLPD.

    That particular editor has many friends from the CLPD.

    They have no objectivity and yes they do aggressively attack people.

  9. Two of their officers were caught on video following one of our residents into Sam’s Club.

    A subpoena was sent to Walmart Corporate and they supplied the video.

    The officers came into the store a short time after the resident and stood behind them.

    Then left the store after the resident left.

    The officers did not go anywhere else in the store.

    It is a rule that when police officers get out of their car they notify dispatch.

    The officers never notified dispatch, which in my opinion meant that they were up to no good.

    Officer Dan Dziewior provided the excuse that his officers were on foot patrol.

    However, when the Director of Sam’s Club security was spoken to about their explanation, he explained that there was no reason for the officers to be in the store as Sam’s Club has their own security team and there was no crime being committed in the store at that time.

    So, Dan Dziewior’s explanation that the officers were on foot patrol, was nothing more than an excuse for their behavior.

    In my opinion, they were stalking and harassing the resident.

    The video speaks for itself.

  10. In fact, maybe we should find a way to post on youtube.

    How about it boys?

    You have a lot of explaining to do as our tax payers provide your salary

  11. Hey, we could have a youtube party. Yes, thats it. Let me tell you, the entertainment is phenomenal. No popcorn allowed.

    Officer Dan Dziewor, you really need to get your act together and start leading those boys in the right direction. Just one question, “DO YOU LEAD BY EXAMPLE?” You are after all one of the captains of that ship over there. Maybe next time one of the boys decides to stalk and harass our residents there will be legal consequences….. Don’t bother talking to Bob Demodica, because he won’t be able to get you out of this one. The Demodicas have their own mess to clean up.

  12. Hey Dan, Paybacks are so much fun… There is nothing like the power of words, especially when the truth is told….. Just so you know Dan, your secrets are out. At least, some of them. Now maybe next time one of your officers decides to stalk and harass our residents, you will hold them accountable, instead of invalidating the claims of the victims… You might want to ask the lead psychologist over there in drug court if he has an opening for you. I have been told that he has a big fat bowl of popcorn waiting for you in the waiting room.

  13. I didn’t realize how bad and corrupt it was in the CLPD.

    Ouch.

    How sad for ICU2 to be associated with this rogue department.

    Too bad the new leadership has not had outreach with those good CL citizens tormented by the previous administration.

    I was hoping for better.

    The City Council and Mayor are really ultramately to blame.

  14. Yes, it’s pretty bad over there.

    Several complaints have fallen on the deaf ears of the City Council and the Mayor.

    Though, it is possible that they too are unable to do anything about what has been going on.

    It’s going to take the Feds to hold them accountable.

    The Rockford FBI office has been aware of what has been occurring with the CLPD for many years.

    The efforts of some federal officers have been dissuaded because of a few corrupt ones.

    In the best interest of everyone, Agents Casey and Craig need to resign.
