From Lake in the Hills Police Chief David Brey:
An Open Letter to the Residents of Lake in the Hills:
Since the horrific incident in Minneapolis, resulting in the death of George Floyd, I have received inquiries from residents concerned for their community and asking us the right questions.
Residents want to know as a police department what are we doing to make sure unnecessary use-of-force incidents don’t happen here and how are we holding our officers accountable.
Back in 2014, a young man named Michael Brown was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri.
Several other high-profile police force incidents quickly followed.
It was evident from the protest following the events that the public was demanding that we, as a law enforcement community, make changes.
In our review of what was occurring, we knew we had to do more to demonstrate how we take ownership of our actions.
We intensified our efforts to provide officers with the proper training, tools, and oversight for the appropriate use-of-force, if necessary, to bring a situation under control.
The authority to use force carries with it the need for accountability to safeguard the rights of the public and preserve the integrity of the department.
In 2015, we instituted a complete revision of our use-of-force policy, making it more clear, concise, and easily understood.
In 2016, we established a new policy requiring the automatic formal review of all use-of-force incidents, and we began tracking statistical data on events.
We also started a comprehensive in-house training program, including cultural diversity and various topics relating to response to resistance incidents.
Our in-house training program includes an annual review of the law, department policy, arrest tactics, less than lethal tools, and their application in both classroom and scenario-based training settings.
In 2017, when the National Consensus Policy and Discussion Paper on Use of Force document was published we quickly adopted the best practices in the policy.
This included de-escalation techniques and training for our officers.
The department also adopted the Ten Shared Principles developed by the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police and the Illinois NAACP.
The Ten Shared Principles is a collaboration with the NAACP designed to bridge the gap of mistrust between the police and communities of color.
In 2019, the FBI launched the National Use-of-Force Data Collection program as a voluntary effort to gather data on use-of-force incidents to provide a national view of use-of-force data.
The department joined the program and submitted our data dating back to 2017.
Our department is accredited through the Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation Program (ILEAP) by the Illinois Law Enforcement Agency Accreditation Council.
Accreditation is an ongoing process where agencies are evaluated on policy and procedure as well as practice, against established criteria, and have their compliance with those criteria verified by an independent team of assessors.
Our department is one of 38 agencies in Illinois to be accredited through ILEAP.
We currently hold Tier Two accreditation status and are in compliance with 180 standards.
Good practices, policy, training, and accreditation are important elements that form a strong foundation for setting a culture in the department that promotes professionalism.
The question is, are we holding ourselves accountable and practicing our values on the streets and especially when officers use force?
Between 2016 and 2019, our officers had 60,689 interactions with the public on calls for service.
Of those contacts, 48 resulted in the use of a force application by officers.
The department has an extremely low percentage of interactions, 0.079%, that culminated in the use of force to bring the situation under control.
The majority of our 48 incidents only involved the use of manual restraints to effect the arrest of an uncooperative subject.
The low amount of force use incidents is a testament to the professionalism of the officers who work here.
It also demonstrates our efforts to minimize use- of-force conflicts are working.
I want to thank our residents who took the time to hold us accountable and asked us the hard questions.
Policing our community can only be accomplished through a partnership with our residents, and we work hard to earn the respect of our community.
One misstep can erase years of hard work and trust.
We will continue to hold ourselves to high standards and transparency when it comes to the use-of-force.
We understand the outrage and the need to be heard so meaningful change can come out of the senseless death of George Floyd.
Please do it peacefully, so your message is not lost.
Excellent 👍👍
Wuss cop needs to get a testicular transplant and stop the Negroalytry!
Does the braying jackass Brey wear Depens or diapers?
Does he practice other forms of Negro-latry in addition to that above?
Does he wash black feet, or kiss them?
Heshould be flushed along with his pal Jack Franks.
We are in the midst of a mass psychotic
Classical Greek thinking was the refusal of men to prostrate themselves before others in the manner of the Persians.
So many of these “negrolaters” like Brey take the knee throws out not just centuries of Christianity, but millennia of western culture.
*Mass psychotic break
Just proves that police can be idiots, too.
Mike brown ?
Your using that as a example ?
You should be defending officer Wilson.
He did his job.
He was being attacked
stop pandering.
Police should not badmouth a innocent cop.
This man lost his job, freedom all for some BS hands up don’t shoot narrative.
BLM was founded based on that.
We need to stick together and not throw innocent police under the bus.
My goodness sir.
And here you are, racists hiding anonymously behind screen names as your direct ancestors hid their identities under white KKK hoods.
“Supremacists” afraid to voice your views openly, ashamed of your weakness and fear.
Stay hidden.
Paranoid delusional much, Martin ?
Paranoid delusions are the most common and pronounced symptom of the wokevirus “victims”.
Stay fearful, my friend.
Excellent. Looks like a well-run police department with viable programs that use data and statistics to track performance and measure improvements.
The mostly left wing media – tv news networks, tv cable news, local radio and tv stations, newspapers of big cities – all have unnecessarily contributed to the “police are bad” hysteria. Fueling the fire of putting the police in a bad light have been opportunistic radical elements such as antifa. One has to wonder if also there was foreign interference such as from ISIS or Alqeda that had a part in inciting riots, insurrection, looting and anarchy in cities here in the US. We citizens can hope that our US Government per the federal bureau, justice department, secret service, us marshalls, etc have been tracking and investigating to find the instigators.
As is usual, well-meaning bleeding hearts have played the role of useful idiots in overreacting to the isolated and extremely rare incident of a person being killed by a police officer. Until the trial of the officer wherein all facts are divulged, it is still not known if it was a racial incident or a personal grudge. The police officer and the victim had allegedly worked as bouncers at the same bar. If true, were there other reasons such as grudges or other previous incidents or encounters that led to the murder?
Following was newspaper article on Brey appointment to police chief.

Re Martin comments about hoods. Here is a sampling of some history of racism.
The Democrat Party members in the US House and Senate VIGOROUSLY opposed Republican President Abraham Lincoln’s efforts to free the slaves. Lincoln persisted and the slaves were freed.
Last year, it was revealed that the Democrat Governor of Virginia had shown himself in pictures in his college yearbook as black-face and wearing a hood. Some Democrats and some in the media feebly called for his resignation, then dropped the matter. He is still governor.
The Democrat Party had greatly revered Democrat US Senator Robert Byrd. Upon his death in 2010, VP Joe Biden delivered a glowing eulogy. Byrd had been a member and a recruiter for the klan.
We should remind Martin and people like him that this blog offers anonymous and PEACEFUL freedom of speech.
Perhaps Martin should be all riled up and want to KNOW get all the names and addresses of every single person in the US, over the last three weeks, who did one or more of the following: Threw rocks, bottles, bricks at police officers. Injured or shot at police. Looted stores. Set fires to stores and other buildings and police cars. Vandalized stores, buildings, cars, other properties. How many persons in the US did this and we don’t know who they are? 100, 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, 1,000,000? Nobody knows. Would it be relevant to know this and hold these persons accountable for their unlawful and dangerous actions?
Martin needs serious psychological help.
But will he ever get it?
Martin shouldn’t be teaching social studies at Prarie Ridge High School.
He’s infecting minds with his cultural Marxism and LGBTQ gag-agenda.
He does not promote critical thinking. Everyday he had the kids in his power he’d brainwash, brainwash brainwash!
I think his computer should be examined ASAP.
I vote to fire the imbecile.
Catering to criminals and submitting your rectum ton them encourages more savagery.
Brey is like the French Police Chief in Casablanca.
He’ll suck up to the ideology he thinks he can maximize his own benefits from.
If Antigua seized power he’d be all for Antifa and communists shooting Christians and dissidents.
He’s vile.
In many ways FAR worse than the BLM thugs.
Brey brays like a jackass.
He must be a Democrat!
People like BLM worshipping Brey are sociopaths, as Nietzsche once wrote, secretly despising their own incompetence and inability to achieve in civilization.
Just as a feminist secretly knows that she will never be able to match a man’s ability to lead, so too do these turd worlders secretly know that without government welfare and affirmative action they would collapse into starvation and anarchy.
So instead they blame the successful.
And destroy what they could never create!
More work from anonymous racist cowards: https://www.nwherald.com/2020/06/13/white-supremacist-fliers-placed-on-driveways-in-crystal-lake-police-say-they-are-looking-into-it/ae5wowk/
And one of the two people who reported this just so happened to be Lauren Manicke.
Is this the same Lauren Manicke who is an “artist” that blogs about “praxis” (the practice or application of ideas)?
The same Lauren Manicke who graduated from Columbia in Chicago?
The same Columbia College that is OBSESSED with Critical Theory and teaches critical theory in almost ALL of their classes from law to English?
The same critical theory that is obsessed with dividing people based on race?
The same critical theory that came from the Frankfurt School and moved to Columbia during the 1930’s?
Because if it is the same person, I would consider HER to be a suspect, Martin.
Why would somebody who is promoting a pan-European America, and who is complaining we are no longer a virtuous country, put rocks in a bag?
How would that possibly help FURTHER Patriot Front’s cause?
It does the opposite — it scares people.
If they wanted to be respected, why would they put rocks in a bag?
Most far right groups would look down at throwing rocks at things.
Throwing rocks is more of a left-wing and anarchist activity… or like somebody who might be into critical theory.
Martin, you’re so full of it!
Nogs are inferior in traditional iq tests.
But if you did one in ebonics, crack acquisition, ebt card scams, screwing multiple females of the species and making the government pay and the effects of Colt 45, they would put whitey to shame.
This Brey needs to be airlifted to Zimbabwe.
He’d last about 4 and a half hours there.
Surrender monkey chief.
Oh brother, these pathetic simpleton police chiefs pave the way for mass disorder.
Negrolater Brey needs a gay pride button.
Martin needs to get off welfare, loose 200 lbs and take the thesis-plagiarizer MLK tattoo off his rear.
**Nogs are inferior in traditional iq tests.

But Some Guy will say there’s no racism on this blog.
Cal… I will continue to point out the haven you’ve created for racist white supremacists.
Alabama continues to be a big idiot. Stereotyping is a real word. Look it up. It is what black comedians do all day every day of the week. It is supposed to be funny. That is how stupid they are! Take up your issue with them? Do you even understand how you have been used by every single controller idiot since the beginning of time just to make you react the way you do? Grow up and start to engage your OWN brain instead of theirs.
Thanks for the input Cindy – its always enjoyable, and always helpful to know what folks are thinking who engage the “brains” of youtube conspiracy theorists.
But I still want to know why Cal and John delete comments for naughty words but allow blatant ugly racism on here daily.
Will one of you please define “negrolater”, a word some of you use, but is not n the dictionary, not google, nor urban dictionary?
Alabama? You understood Nothing of what I said. Otherwise, you wouldn’t make yourself look like such a huge fool by the non sequitur comment you made. You are one of those divisive things that will not survive. You are a naysayer that is blind to what is really going on here.
Speaking of real racism, white liberal communists in the CHAZ / CHOP (whatever dumb name they have) refer to a black American with a US flag as a “race traitor”.
https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1272009086297497600
Alabama, how bout you go to CHAZ and bitchslap em’ down?
Have CLPD or anybody else questioned this Lauren Manicke lady as a suspect herself?
See my comment at 9:33 on 6/13/2020 for establishing Manicke’s possible motive and for showing why this doesn’t make sense for an actual white identitarian to do.
Now add to that the fact that there were two reports of these flyers according to the Northwest Herald’s June 14th article by Cassie Buchman.
One report was from Manicke.
The article says one of Manicke’s friends also saw these flyers as they were going for a walk.
Who is the second person who reported it?
Is it Manicke’s friend or someone else?
Because if that second person is just Manicke’s friend… well that would be a little odd.
That would mean Manicke and her friend were the only people finding the flyers and the only people calling the police about the flyers.
The article from the NW Herald says the flyers were found on Crystal Lake Avenue in Crystal Lake and that Manicke is a Crystal Lake resident.
A quick internet search shows me that Lauren Manicke lives near the corner of Crystal Lake Avenue and Kent Avenue in Crystal Lake.
So to recap: only two people reported this, and one of them was Manicke, and the flyers were found on a street right by where Manicke lives, and perhaps nobody else in CL except one other person (who may even be Manicke’s friend) reported this, and Manicke is some fat art school critical theory (PUSHING RACIAL DIVISION) dweeb who dresses up like Harry Potter.
Her interests include spirituality, fantasy, and feminism.
Do you even have to ask what her politics are?
You can’t make this stuff up…
I hope this woman knows that filing a false police report and disorderly conduct are crimes, and I hope the CLPD and the McHenry County Sheriff or somebody investigates Manicke as a suspect.
Some Guy – while I appreciate your attempt at #whataboutism and deflection, I’m not in Seattle. Care to address the actual racism here on this blog, where we both actually do spend time?
Alabama, your time is coming. And nobody will rue your burnt up tailings.
It had to be done. It’ll be fun.
People like you never get it until the last seconds.
Thanks Owl… I appreciate that you’re thinking about me.
Even if its some kind of weird AF ominous threat that makes little sense.
Alabama, I’m just giving you a hard time.
You asked for my input above because you seem to enjoy my attention.
It’s just a joke.
What kind of bs is this.
Michael Brown was attacking a police officer.
Look it up chief.
There was one person who claimed Michael Brown had his hands up and was saying don’t shoot.
Turns out this was Michael Brown’s buddy who just helped him rob a bodega.
A CNN reporter heard him say this, and rather than bother to look for a second source just ran with the story.
No witnesses were found that corroborated this story.
