>> HELLO AND THANKS FOR JOINING US ON CHICAGO TONIGHT.

I'M BRANDIS FRIEDMAN.

HERE IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

A DEBATE IN CITY COUNCIL IS BREWING OVER MAYOR JOHNSON'S DECISION TO END THE CONTROVERSIAL GUNSHOT DETECTION SYSTEM KNOWN AS SHOTSPOTTER.

>> KNOW WHERE 10'S OF THOUSANDS OF ILLEGAL GUNS ARE RIGHT NOW.

>> THOUSANDS OF COOK COUNTY RESIDENTS HAVE HAD THEIR FIREARM ID CARD REVOKED.

SO WHY HAVEN'T THEY TURNED OVER THEIR LICENSES AND GUNS?

AND THEY ARE OFFICIALLY HERE.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS OR NEW CICADA NEIGHBORS.

AND NOW TO SOME OF TODAY'S TOP STORIES.

ONE PERSON WAS KILLED AND 45 OTHERS WERE INJURED OVER THE WEEKEND IN 31 SEPARATE SHOOTING INCIDENTS.

>> CHICAGO POLICE SAY ONE OF THEM WAS A MASS SHOOTING SATURDAY NIGHT IN THE 700 BLOCK OF SOUTH ALBANY AVENUE WHICH WOUNDED 6 PEOPLE, 3 OF THEM CRITICALLY.

SEPARATELY, A 38 YEAR-OLD MAN WAS KILLED LATE SUNDAY NIGHT IN THE 500 BLOCK OF NORTH LEAMINGTON AVENUE AND IN ANOTHER SHOOTING, A 12 YEAR-OLD BOY WAS ALSO WOUNDED BY A BULLET WHILE RIDING HIS BIKE SATURDAY NIGHT IN THE SOUTH.

CHICAGO NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND ON A PROGRAMMING NOTE, JOIN US THIS WEDNESDAY EVENING AS WE EXPLORE ISSUES OF PUBLIC SAFETY ON W T TW NEWS.

A SAFER CITY.

HOWARD BROWN HEALTH SAYS A MULTIMILLION DOLLAR BUDGET DEFICIT IS FORCING THE ORGANIZATION TO CLOSE 2 OF ITS CLINICS.

THE HEALTH CENTER ANNOUNCED TODAY THAT IT WOULD CLOSE ITS DIVERSITY AND THRESHOLDS SOUTH CLINICS BY EARLY FALL IN A RELEASE.

THE ORGANIZATION SAYS IT'S 6 MILLION DOLLAR BUDGET DEFICIT WAS CREATED BY A CHANGE IN FUNDING LANDSCAPE.

MEANWHILE, THE CENTER SAYS AFFECTED STAFF WILL BE REASSIGNED TO OTHER HOWARD BROWN HEALTH SITES WHERE POSITIONS ARE AVAILABLE AND PATIENTS WILL BE ABLE TO RECEIVE CARE WITHIN 15 MINUTES OF THEIR CURRENT CARE SITE.

A NUMBER OF CHICAGO'S ELECTED OFFICIALS JOINED THE COOK COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS TODAY TO REMEMBER CLERK KAREN YARBROUGH WHO DIED SUDDENLY IN EARLY APRIL.

SHE WAS TOUGH.

>> PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THIS KIND, KAREN, AND I'M STILL LOOKING FOR.

BUT WHEN SHE DEALT WITH SEA WAS VERY TOUGH.

BUT SHE WOULD HAVE GREAT EXPECTATIONS BECAUSE SHE KNEW THAT THERE WERE GREAT THINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

THERE WERE GREAT THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE ON BEHALF OF OF OUR PEOPLE.

SHE WAS A CONSTANT COOK COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PASSED A RESOLUTION IN REMEMBRANCE OF YARBOROUGH WHO BECAME THE FIRST BLACK WOMAN TO HOLD THE POSITION.

>> A COUNTY CLERK WHEN SHE WAS ELECTED IN 2018.

SHE ALSO SERVED AS COUNTY RECORDER OF DEEDS AND AS A STATE REPRESENTATIVE.

UP NEXT, THE DEBATE OVER DROPPING THE CONTROVERSIAL SHOT-SPOTTER TECHNOLOGY.

THAT'S RIGHT AFTER THIS.

>> CHICAGO TONIGHT IS MADE POSSIBLE IN PART THE ALEXANDRA AND JOHN NICHOLS FAMILY.

THE GYM AND K MAYBE FAMILY.

THE POPE BROTHERS FOUNDATION AND THE SUPPORT OF THESE DONORS.

>> A BATTLE IS BREWING IN CHICAGO CITY HALL OVER THE CONTROVERSIAL GUNSHOT DETECTION SYSTEM KNOWN AS SHOTSPOTTER EARLIER THIS YEAR.

MAYOR BRANDON JOHNSON DECIDED NOT TO RENEW THE CITY'S CONTRACT FOR THE TECHNOLOGY.

THAT CHOICE HAS BEEN SLAMMED BY SOME CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS WHO SAY THE MAYOR OVERSTEPPED WHILE MANY STILL DEBATE THE VALUE OF THE SYSTEM, THEY'RE NOW CALLING FOR A VOTE ON A MEASURE THAT WOULD GIVE ALL PEOPLE THE POWER TO MAKE THAT DECISION FOR THEIR OWN WARDS.

JOINING US NOW WITH MORE ARE ALDERMAN DAVID MOORE OF THE 17TH WARD AND ALDERMAN BYRON LOPEZ OF THE 25TH WAR.

GENTLEMEN, THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

ALDERMAN MORE.

LET'S START WITH YOU, PLEASE.

WHAT IS IT THAT YOU'RE CALLING FOR HERE?

>> SO THIS ORDER CALLS FOR MORE DATA COLLECTION AND MORE THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THE CURRENT SHOTSPOTTER CONTRACT.

IT ALSO CALLS ADMINISTRATION NOTIFIED THE CITY COUNCIL IN ADVANCE DECISIONS TO REMOVE ANY BALLOTS PREVENTION FINDING, SOUTH THINKING SHOTSPOTTER FROM A WAR AND ALSO HOLD A MEETING OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE.

PROUD ANY REMOVAL AND WITH THE FULL VOTE OF THE CITY COUNCIL.

THAT IS WHAT THIS BOARD OR ITS CURRENT FORM.

>> AND TELL ME WHY YOU CARRY.

>> BECAUSE IT WAS THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE FUNDING FOR THE FIRST PLACE AS A TOOL WHICH WILL HELP OUR COMMUNITIES.

IT'S TO THAT.

NOT OUR RESIDENTS.

NO, THAT HELPING OUR COMMUNITY.

THE SUPERINTENDENT OVERWHELMINGLY TO PUT IN OFFICE TO THE ADMINISTRATION SELECTED WAS VERY WELL RESPECTED.

IS THE SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT THAT IS IN CHARGE OF KEEPING THIS CITY SAFE?

IS IT THAT HE SAYS HE NEEDS FOR THE DEPARTMENT?

AND SO THE 2 THAT I SINCERELY HOPE THIS ADMINISTRATION CONSIDERS KEEPING.

>> ALDERMAN SECURE THE MAYOR HAS SAID HE HAS NO PLANS ON REVERSING COURSE ON THIS.

WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON WHAT ALDERMAN MORE IS CALLING FOR?

>> WOULD THINK YOU'RE AND I SUPPORT MAYOR FROM FEELING HE'S COME BEEN COMMITMENT FOLLOWS AN INSPECTOR GENERAL REPORT.

AT THE END OF THAT, THE DATA IS VERY CLEAR.

THEY EXPECTED GENERAL BACK IN 2021.

ACTUALLY DIDN'T DETAIL ANALYSYS WANT TO SHOW THAT THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IN THAT 80% OF PATIENTS RESPONDED TO CALLS THAT IT DID NOT CALL I'M GOING RELATED INCIDENT.

YOU KNOW, THERE'S MANY THINGS THAT CLOUDED IN VIEWS THAT BE WARD.

THERE'S 33 MILLION DOLLARS BETTER THING.

AGAIN.

THE INSPECTOR GENERAL PRESIDENT HAS REPORTED A EASY TO DO, BUT NOT A GOOD USE OF DAUGHTERS.

I DO THINK THAT I AGREE WITH ALL THE MORE THAT MONEY IS.

IS BETTER ON TREATING VIOLENCE PREVENTION RIGHT NOW DPH HAS ABOUT HIS INTERVENTION OUR WORK ON THE BLOCK TO BLOCK BASES AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO IMPROVE OR ARE DISPATCHING OF THING THAT WHEN WE THOUGHT RECORD THAT HAS NOT FOR THE MANY, MANY CALLS THAT WE RECEIVED.

I DO THINK THAT WE NEED TO IMPROVE THAT.

I ALREADY WAS I'M READY REACH OUT TO AS WELL AS SUPERINTENDENT TO DISCUSS BETTER WAYS TO DO THAT.

THAT IS PART OF MAKING THAT OUR FREEZE AS WE'RE STARTING TO REGARDING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CALLS ARE MEANT >> IN A DIFFERENT SYSTEMS LIKE 9, 8, WITH COUPLE'S ADDRESS ISSUE.

BUT GOING FROM WHERE THERE HAS SHOWN ABE POOR OUTCOMES ARE THINGS DOES NOT >> OTHER INSECURE LOPEZ ALDERMAN MORE HAS EXPRESSED CONCERN THAT GUN VIOLENCE COULD CLIMB WITHOUT THE SHOTSPOTTER TECHNOLOGY.

DO YOU THINK THAT'S A POSSIBILITY?

>> WE'RE READING OF GOD A TRUCK POTTER FOR NUMBER OF YEARS AND A CAUSE OF 33 MILLION DOLLARS.

I DO THINK WE WOULD BE BETTER OFF USING THOSE 33 MILLION DOLLARS ACTUALLY GOING TO THE BLOCK BY BLOCK LEVEL, UNDERSTANDING THE ROOT CAUSES OF VIOLENCE, UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES TO AND AGAIN THAT OR 9-1-1, CAUSING A 98 CALLS ARE ACTUALLY BEING ON.

ELIZA, DO AGREE THAT WE DO HAVE AN DISPATCHING, BUT THAT IS RATTLING APPEARS TO BE OF SPECTER GENERAL REPORTER FOCUS BOARD LIGHT TRUCKS.

BUT I DO THINK THAT THE MAYOR IS LOOKING AT THE DATA.

I DO THINK THAT WE'RE GOING LATER.

WE NEED TO LOOK AT ALTERNATIVES ARE DO NEED THAT.

WE NEED TO ADDRESS THE THAT WE'VE GOT WITH THE BUT FOLLOWING INSPECTOR GENERAL REPORT, WE CLEARLY GOT TO DO MORE WORK AROUND THAT WOULD CAUSE ADDRESSING THE THAT WE HAVE EVER KNOWN, ESPECIALLY IN IN IN A REPORT AREAS WHERE WE SHOW ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH PLAN IS ABOUT SCHOOLS?

I DO THINK THERE'S A NEED FOR INVESTMENT FOR THE TO DO A BETTER JOB.

HOW WE HOLD OUR ACCOUNTABLE.

I DO THINK MAGIC STAR THEM SUBJECT MATTER EXPER YEAR IS NOT GOING TO SPENT FOR GENERAL AS WEEK ABOUT FROM REPORTS THAT INSPECTOR GENERAL TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WE DO HAVE THAT REMAINS IN THE WRECK AND 5 OF THE OF HIS APARTMENT.

I DO THINK IMPORTANT HOUSE WAS RELEASED INTO THOSE REPORTS.

BUT INSPECTORS GENERAL.

>> I WANT TO GET ALL THE MORE IN HERE ALL THE MORE.

WHAT ABOUT WHAT SOME OF ALDERMAN LOPEZ HAS HAS EXPRESS.

HOW DO YOU BALANCE THE NEED OTHER METHODS TO TO TO SOME OF THE ILLS IN OUR SOCIETY TO VIOLENCE.

BUT WITH ALSO THE NEED TO ENSURE THAT COMMUNITIES ARE SAFE AND NOT RIFE WITH GUN VIOLENCE.

>> YEAH.

FIRST OF SUSPECT, A GENEROUS SOMEBODY ACTUALLY RESPECT AND SUPPORT AND LIKE ANYBODY ACCOUNT AND IT CAN ANALYZE DATA THAT IS GIVEN TO ME FROM DATA IS GIVE TO ME THAT I'M ALIVE.

I'M GOING TO PUT OUT THE INFORMATION BASED ON THAT DATA.

AND SO WHAT WE PLAY NOW IS THAT PROPER, DANA, THIS SHOULD BE AND THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN THAT SHOULD BE REPORTED ON A MONTHLY BASIS.

CITY COUNCIL, WHICH HAS NOT BEEN REPORTED.

INSPECTOR GENERAL JUST USE THE INFORMATION THAT SHE COLLECTED BASED ON THE INFORMATION THAT CPD COLLECTED WHICH WASN'T ALWAYS THE RIGHT TYPE OF DATA.

THAT'S NUMBER ONE.

NUMBER 2, WHICH YOU CANNOT CAPTURE AND IS THAT WHEN SHOTS PART OF THE TECH SHOOTING NA PUT THEY POINT PUT PEOPLE AROUND NOT DETECTING IS THE NUMBER SHOTS THAT WERE THE NUMBER STUDENTS THAT WERE STOPPED.

AND THAT'S WHAT I'M TELLING YOU.

IF SHOTSPOTTERS ELIMINATED, WE BRAGGING RIGHT NOW THAT SHOOTINGS ARE DOWN.

THAT'S BECAUSE OF THINGS LIKE SHOTSPOTTER OF THE 2 LIKE SHOTSPOTTER.

THAT'S NOT THE ONLY THING, BUT THAT'S BECAUSE OF 2 WAS LIKE SHOTSPOTTER AND I GUARANTEE YOU REMOVE YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THOSE INCREASES.

TALK ABOUT SPENDING MONEY, A ROOT CAUSE.

EVERYBODY KNOW WHAT THE ROOT CAUSE ALREADY GOING TO SPEND MONEY ON HOW PEOPLE HAVE BEEN AND PROBABLY WILL HAVE TO SPEND MONEY ON THAT.

WE NEED MORE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ALREADY KNOW THAT JUST PUT PEOPLE TO WORK.

AND SO FROM THAT STANDPOINT, I KNOW WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY HERE TO, FIRST OF ALSO KEEP PEOPLE SAFE.

AND IF SOMETHING IS WORKING, IT'S WORKING IN THE SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT WHO'S VERY CLOSE TO IT WORKING WITH THIS TOO WELL SUPER 8.

THE SUPERINTENDENT SNELLING SUPPORT HIS POSITION ON KEEPING SHOTSPOTTER.

>> ALDERMAN SECURE LOPEZ.

WHAT CRIME FIGHTING TOOLS OR TECHNOLOGIES COULD BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE PLACE OF SHOTSPOTTER WHEN THAT WHEN THAT FINALLY DOESN'T.

>> WELL, I SURE THAT WE HAVE AROUND THE CAUSE, I MEAN, JUST OVER THE WE HAD I MEAN, COULDN'T WIN A ROBBERY IN AWARD.

YOU KNOW, IT WAS REPORTED OUT, BUT THAT ACTIVE NEVER ARRIVED TO COLLECT DATA COLLECT EVIDENCE FOR GOOD THAT WE GOT SHOES THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.

BUT THAT'S WHAT I CAN ABILITY.

I DO THINK THAT DID.

THE CALLED FOR 9, 1, 1, 9, TO A COSTLY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CALLS MENTAL HEALTH BECAUSE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IS NOT EQUIPPED TO ANSWER THOSE CALLS.

I DON'T THINK CORRECT.

WE WANT FOR TECHNOLOGY, BUT I DO THINK THAT WHEN WE COME OUT AND AGAIN, THE FACT THE PERCENTAGE THAT DISEASE THAT IS WHAT ACTUALLY IS ABYSMAL.

9% OF THE CALLS DOES NOT MERIT 33 MILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENT.

I DO THAT THERE'S ROOM FOR LOOK AT KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORK.

REROUTING AGAIN, LOT HAND-IN-HAND WITH INVESTMENT MENTAL AND TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

WHAT WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE OTHER WOULD CAUSE ALL WHICH MAKING SURE THAT WE THAT, YOU THAT WE HAVE WITHOUT FOR FOR DECADES, WHICH IS THAT INVESTMENT.

HOWEVER, WHAT I WANT AND USE THAT THERE'S REPORTS NATIONAL REPORTS THAT GUY THAT KIND WORK DOES NOT DO MUCH HERE TO KIND OF.

>> EXCUSE ME.

THANK YOU.

WE'VE GOT JUST A COUPLE SECONDS LEFT.

ALL THAT AND MORE AT THE MEASURE IS PASSED ON WEDNESDAY.

THE WEDNESDAY THE MAYOR COULD STILL VETO IT.

WHAT THEN?

>> I'M PLEASED.

AND HE HE WILL BE THAN WHAT THE ASKED.

WHAT ONE THING IS ONE THING TO SAY, CAMPAIGN PROMISES.

THIS IS NOTHING TO LISTEN TO THE CONSTITUENTS DOING HERE.

IS THAT THIS TO THE CONSTITUENTS?

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING DAVID BOIES PUSHING FOR.

AND THIS IS THE VOICES OF MY COMMUNITY AND I HAVE TO REPRESENT THEIR VOICES.

>> ALL RIGHT.

BE KEEPING AN EYE ON ALL OF YOU WEDNESDAY.

THANKS TO ALL THE MEN, DAVID MOORE AND ALDERMAN BYRON LOPEZ FOR JOINING US.

>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.

IS GOOD TO SEE BRYANT.

>> UP NEXT, LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT IS SOUNDING THE ALARM, A REVOTE, FIREARM ID CARDS.

>> CHICAGO, TONIGHT'S COVERAGE OF PUBLIC SAFETY IS SUPPORTED BY THE SOO LEE CHARITABLE FOUNDATION INITIATIVE FOR REDUCING VIOLENCE IN CHICAGO.

>> THE COOK COUNTY SHERIFF SAYS MORE THAN 27,000 COOK COUNTY GUN OWNERS SHOULD NOT BE IN POSSESSION OF THEIR GUNS.

THAT'S BECAUSE THEIR FIREARMS OWNER, ID OR FOID CARDS HAVE BEEN REVOKED.

BUT THEY HAVEN'T TURNED IN OR TURNED OVER THOSE GUNS.

SHERIFF'S OFFICE JUST RELEASED A REPORT ON THIS ISSUE AND IS CALLING FOR LEGISLATION TO ADDRESS IT.

AND COOK COUNTY SHERIFF TOM DART JOINS US NOW WITH MORE ON THIS.

SHERIFF, WELCOME BACK.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

HAPPY SO ONCE A FOID CARD HAS BEEN REVOKED, WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR THAT PERSON EITHER TO GET RID OF THE GUN OR FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOUR OFFICE TO RETRIEVE THAT GUN.

>> YOU KNOW, BRING US THAT THIS SYSTEM IS ACTUALLY QUITE LOGICAL TO HAVE A DAWN IN ILLINOIS HAVE TO HAVE A CARD FIREARMS OWNER IDENTIFICATION CARD.

IT SEEMED IN THE STATE POLICE SYSTEM AND THEN IF YOU DO A CERTAIN ACT, YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE THAT WE VOTE.

SO IF YOU COMMIT A FELONY, IF YOU HAVE AN ORDER OF PROTECTION AGAINST IF YOU HAVE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES THAT REQUIRE YOU TO BE HOSPITALIZED AND THERE'S A HANDFUL OF OTHER ONES.

SO THEY REVOKED THE CARD.

WHAT IS THE FLAW IN THE SYSTEM?

IT'S A MAJOR FLAW IS THAT THERE'S NEVER ANY MECHANISM IN PLACE TO GO TO THAT PERSON'S HOUSE, MAKE SURE THAT THEY CANNOT GET TO THE GONE SO THAT THEY >> EITHER TURN HIM OVER TO LAW ENFORCEMENT OR THEY TURN THEM OVER TO A INDIVIDUAL FAMILY MEMBER WHO IS ALLOWED TO HAVE GUNS.

SO WE POINTED THAT OUT BACK IN 2013, WE SET UP OUR OWN UNIT THAT WENT OUT WITH THE SOLE PURPOSE OF GOING TO ALL THESE HOUSES TO TRY TO GET THE GUNS.

BUT AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE NUMBERS HERE, NO ONE UNIT CAN DO IT.

I CAN TELL YOU IN THE AREA THAT I'M IN CHARGE OF THE AREA OF COOK COUNTY THAT I'M THE SOLE POLICING ENTITY.

WE'VE GOT EVERY GONE.

IT'S BEEN THAT WAY FOR SINCE BASICALLY 2013.

THEY'RE ANYONE WAS REVOKED.

WE'VE SENT SOMEONE OUT LITERALLY THE NEXT DAY AND WE MAKE SURE THE GUNS ARE ACCOUNTED FOR.

BUT UNFORTUNATELY, SEE BY THESE NUMBERS, THE YOU KNOW, 85,000 PEOPLE IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, THERE IS NO RECORD OF THEM.

HOW TEAM FOR THEIR GUNS ALL.

>> YOU KNOW, A SHORT OF SOMEONE LIKE YOUR OFFICE GOING TO RETRIEVE THAT GUN.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IS PREVENTING A GUN OWNER FROM COMPLYING WITH REQUIREMENT?

>> BUT, YOU KNOW, IT I THINK BECAUSE THE SYSTEM OPERATION WAS SET UP AND MADE NO SENSE BECAUSE I MEAN, THINK ABOUT THEY NOTICE SERIOUS RATIONALE OR ANY REASON HERE.

BUT IF YOU'RE A PERSON, HAD YOUR RIGHTS REVOLT, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO STATE POLICE WOULD MAIL YOU A LETTER SEEN TURNED YOUR CARD IT NEVER REALLY REFERENCES 2013, NEVER REALLY REFERENCED.

YOU KNOW, THE GUNS AT ALL.

AND SO THAT PERSON SOMETIMES WHAT'S IN THE CARDS, SOME THINGS THEY WANT.

BUT THERE WAS NO MIDDLE OF BUILD.

YOU GO AFTER IN FOR AN OWNER WHO EITHER THINKS THAT THEIR REVOLT RIGHT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN REVOKED OR THEY'RE GOING TO GET HIM BACK.

YEAH, I CAN SEE WHERE THEY YOU KNOW, NOT COMPLYING IN PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE ANTICIPATED THAT.

AND SO WE WORK WITH THE STATE POLICE NOW TO ADDRESS THAT ISSUE.

BUT THE BIG ISSUES, THERE'S JUST NOT RESOURCES BECAUSE THE SMALL TOWNS, VILLAGES AND CITIES DO NOT HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE TRAINED TO GOING TO DO THIS.

AND SO AS RESULT OF THAT, THERE'S VERY FEW AREAS IN THE ENTIRE STATE WHERE YOU CAN SAY ON THAT TOWN, HE'S GOT NO ARE REVOKED.

FOID CARDS.

AND IT'S IT'S PARTICULARLY SCARY BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS, NOT JUST THIS 85,000 NUMBER, BUT THE REASONS WHY THE REVOLT THAT THERE ARE CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO THEMSELVES OR OTHERS.

THEY HAVE A SERIOUS MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE THAT A FELONY CONVICTION, AN ORDER OF PROTECTION RUN DOWN THE LIST.

THESE ARE NOT PEOPLE YOU WANT TO BE SITTING THERE WITH CONS IN PARTICULARLY ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE THE FOLKS WITH THE MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES THAT NIGHT.

GUNS ARE THE NUMBER ONE SOURCE SUICIDES AND SOMEONE WHO HAS A MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE THAT WE KNOW OF WE ALSO KNOW THEY'VE AND WE'RE LEAVING THE CON IN THE HOUSE, DID NOT.

THIS MAKES ANY SENSE.

>> SO AS YOUR REPORT FINDS, THERE ARE ABOUT 27,000 NON COMPLIANT GUN OWNERS IN COOK COUNTY ALONE.

84,085 1000 ACROSS THE STATE WHAT WOULD YOU SAY?

YOU KNOW, WHY DO YOU THINK THIS CURRENT SYSTEM OF REMOVING GUNS IS INEFFECTIVE?

AND WHAT ARE SOME OF CHALLENGES THAT YOUR OFFICE SPACES WHEN YOU'RE WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO MEET THIS OUT?

>> WELL, YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST THE ENORMITY OF IT.

SO THEY SAID, ARE YOU NUTS?

GO OUT AND WE TAKE CARE OF ALL THINGS WERE IN CHARGE UP.

BUT THEN WE GO INTO OTHER TOWNS AND VILLAGES THAT DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO DO IT.

BUT WHEN YOU HAVE I HAVE BASICALLY I THINK IT'S 8 OR 9 PEOPLE IN THE UNIT AND THEN YOU'RE ADDING, HERE'S THE BIG THING.

BRANDES.

YOU'RE ADDING 150 NEW REVOKE CARDS ALL YOU CAN SEE WHERE YOU CAN CATCH UP WITH THIS THING IN LAST.

YOU PUT TOGETHER A MORE STRUCTURED PROCEDURE WHERE YOU HAVE REGIONAL TASK FORCES THAT GO OUT INTO THE SMALLER COMMUNITIES THAT DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO IT.

AND THERE IS ALSO SOMETHING TO BE SAID IN CERTAIN COMMUNITIES.

YOU KNOW, THE SECOND AMENDMENT'S, A REALLY, REALLY STRONG, BIG DEAL.

AND SO, YOU KNOW HOW AGGRESSIVE PEOPLE AREN'T FOLLOWING THROUGH ON SOME OF THE STUFF I YOU KNOW, I CAN'T SPEAK TO THAT, BUT I CAN TELL YOU THE NUMBERS ARE NOT GOOD.

>> SO AND LET'S GET INTO SOME OF WHAT YOU'RE ADVOCATING BECAUSE YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE LEGISLATORS APPROVE MONEY TO FUND REVOCATION ENFORCEMENT, MAYBE ESTABLISHING THESE REGIONAL TEAMS THAT YOU'VE HOW WOULD ADDITIONAL FUNDING HELP AND IS FUNDING NECESSARY OR COULD LAWMAKERS IMPLEMENT A FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY?

>> YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, FRIENDS, WE THOUGHT ABOUT THAT.

WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE STATE POLICE ON THIS.

AND FRANKLY, WE WANT TO GET THE MONEY TO THEM TO DISPERSE.

I DON'T I DON'T WANT TO COME TO ME.

I WANT THEM TO HAVE MORE SO THEY CAN HELP THE SMALL TOWNS AND VILLAGES AND THEN THEY'RE ON BOARD AND WE'VE WORKED WITH THEM OVER THE YEARS ON THIS.

BUT IT'S REALLY JUST A COUPLE OF COMMUNITIES ARE DOING THIS.

CHICAGO HAS A TEAM.

WE HAVE A TEAM AND THE STATE POLICE AND THERE'S MIGHT BE ONE OR 2 OTHER ONES.

BUT THE REALITY OF IT IS, IS THAT PENALTIES THERE'S ALREADY PENALTIES IN PLACE, FRANKLY, IF YOU DON'T COMPLY WITH THIS, IF EITHER DON'T ALL THE RECORDS, YOU FLY ABOUT THEM.

THAT'S NOT GOING TO DO IT.

YOU REALLY NEED TO WANT TO GO TO THE DOOR.

AND I CAN TELL YOU FROM THAT MANY BODY-WORN CAMERA VIDEOS I WATCHED OVER THE YEARS ON THIS THING.

IT'S IT'S THEY'RE VERY DIFFICULT SITUATIONS TO GO INTO A HOUSE WITH SOMEONE WHO HAS SOME ISSUES.

YOU'RE GOOD.

YOU'RE ASKING THEM TO GIVE THEIR GUNS TO OR GIVEN TO A LOVED ONE.

WHO CAN LEGALLY HAVE THEM?

SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT.

I SAYS JUST CAN'T THROW PEOPLE INTO THIS.

BUT THE SAME TIME, HOW GOD'S NAME CAN WE CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT ALL THE GUN VIOLENCE AND ALL ISSUES THAT WE HAVE WITH GUN VIOLENCE IN HERE?

WE HAVE 84 85,000 PEOPLE AND COUNTING IN ADDING UM, WHO WE KNOW SHOULD BE AROUND GUNS IN THERE SITTING THERE HOUSE.

WE HAVE ADDRESSES.

WE KNOW WHERE THEY'RE AT.

WE ALSO HAVE DOCUMENTATION SHOWING THAT THEY WANT TO GUN STORES AND WHERE INQUIRING IN MOST LIKELY PURCHASING GUNS AS WELL.

SO THAT'S WHERE THEY SAY A STRUCTURED APPROACH.

YOUR BRAND IS I THINK WOULD HELPFUL PENALTIES.

I JUST DON'T THINK WOULD BE EFFECTIVE.

>> SHERIFF ILLINOIS STATE POLICE SENT US A STATEMENT ON THIS AND IT SAYS, QUOTE, ISP PROVIDES GRANTS FROM THE STATE POLICE REVOCATION INFORCEMENT FUND TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES TO CONDUCT FIREARM ENFORCEMENT.

THE FUND RECEIVES MONEY FROM THE FIREARM OWNERS IDENTIFICATION CARD ACT FIREARM CONCEALED CARRY ACT AND OTHER FIREARM OFFENSES.

WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES TO APPLY FOR A GRANT TO CONDUCT FIREARM ENFORCEMENT DETAILS.

IS THIS NOT IS THERE JUST A LACK OF AWARENESS BY SMALLER AGENCIES AT THIS KIND OF MONEY EXISTS?

>> YOU KNOW, BRANDIS IS ONE OF THOSE RARE CASES OR EVEN JUST SIT AND SAY, LOOK AT THE NUMBERS.

DO YOU THINK THE SYSTEM'S WORKING?

I MEAN, IS THERE ANYBODY WHO LOOK AT THIS AND SAY, OH, IT'S GOING PRETTY GOOD AND IT'S WORKING?

NO WORD HOME WAS 85,000 REVOLT DROPPED THE STATE AND WE'RE ADDING 150 NEW ONCE A MONTH.

MY GOD.

I MEAN, YOU REALLY YOU BE STRETCHING IT TO NOT UNDERSTAND.

IT'S NOT WORKING HERE.

SO THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT.

YES, YOU KNOW, SMALL CAN APPLY FOR THOSE GRANTS, BUT I THINK THE END OF THE DAY YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO COME UP WITH SOME REGIONAL TASK FORCE MODELING WE DO IN OTHER AREAS AS WELL.

WE'RE EITHER THE STATE POLICE MYSELF, OTHER PEOPLE CAN SORT OF HEAD UP TEAMS TO GO OUT AND DO THIS BECAUSE OF WHAT IT'S NOT GOING TO DONE.

WE'VE HAD THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON.

WE'VE HAD TEAM SINCE 2013 SO WE DO IS OVER A DECADE.

THE NUMBERS KEEP GETTING WORSE.

SO ANYBODY WHO'S LIKE OF THE OPINION THINGS ARE WORKING?

I THINK, YOU KNOW, THEY OUGHT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THESE NUMBERS.

YOU SEEN A BROKEN SYSTEM?

THIS IS >> OKAY.

COOK COUNTY SHERIFF TOM DART KEEP US POSTED.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING THANK YOU.

UP NEXT, THE CICADAS HAVE ARRIVED.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW RIGHT AFTER THIS.

THEY ARE OFFICIALLY HERE AFTER MONTHS OF ANTICIPATION, 2 DIFFERENT BROOD OF CICADAS ARE BUSTING OUT IN MASSIVE NUMBERS ACROSS ILLINOIS W T TW NEWS REPORTER PATTY, WHAT LEAD JOINS US NOW WITH MORE ON WHAT WE CAN EXPECT.

PATTY.

>> REMIND YES, I KNOW SO REMIND US WHY THIS YEAR CICADA EMERGENCE IS A BIG DEAL.

>> WELL, IN ILLINOIS, WE ARE GETTING TO EMERGENCE IS, YOU KNOW, ONCE EXCITING ENOUGH.

BUT WE'VE A 17 YEAR HERE IN NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND A 13 YEAR BROOD IN SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL ILLINOIS.

NO MIND YOU, DON'T OVERLAP BY KEEP NEEDING TO REMIND PEOPLE THEY'RE NOT.

IT'S NOT DOUBLE THE CICADAS.

ONE ROUTE NORTH, ANOTHER BRITON SOUTH, BUT PRETTY MUCH ALL OF ILLINOIS IS COVERED.

POINT, BUT THEY ARE HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME NOT NECESSARILY IN PLACE OVER 200 YEARS THAT THEY BOTH COME OUT AT THE SAME TIME IN ILLINOIS.

AND THAT IS A BIG DEAL.

THAT'S A BIG DEAL.

YOU'RE THERE'S BEEN A SPLIT IN OUR NEWSROOM WITH I SAW THEM THIS WEEKEND OR DIDN'T SOME OF US HAVE DEFINITELY THEM.

>> WILL THEY EVENTUALLY BE EVERYWHERE IN AREA?

KNOW I HAVE TO TRAVEL TO GO SEE THEM BECAUSE I LIVE IN THE CITY PROPER NORTHSIDE NEIGHBORHOOD.

WE'RE NOT GETTING ANY EVERYTHING THERE'S BEEN LIKE SO PAVED OVER AND DEVELOPED.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE THEM ON THE LAKEFRONT EITHER BECAUSE THESE CICADAS NEED TREES TO SURVIVE ON UNDERGROUND.

THERE'S A BEACH THE LAKEFRONT.

NOT TRUE.

SO A LOT OF PLACES, AGRICULTURE LAND, PLACES THAT HAVE BEEN REALLY DEVELOP.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE THEM.

SO THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE EVERYWHERE.

ENTER INSIDE THE CITY OF CHICAGO SHOULD BE A SAFE SPACE FOR ANY PEOPLE.

THEY'RE YEAH, THEY'RE THEY'RE TREATING THE ROADS LIKE I HAD TO TRAVEL OUT TO THE SUBURBS TO GHOST.

JUST SEE THE MICE OUT.

CITY MIGHT NOT GET SOME GOING TO EVERYBODY'S FAVORITE PART OF CICADAS.

THE INCESSANT NOISE.

WHEN IS THAT GOING TO START HAS STARTED YET.

SO I WAS OUT BROOKFIELD YESTERDAY AND YOU COULD HEAR A FEW.

SO THEY ACTUALLY DON'T START SINGING, WHICH IS THEIR MATING CALL.

45 DAYS SO IT'S GOING TO TAKE A WHILE FOR THOSE FIRST INDIVIDUALS.

AND THEN AS MORE AND MORE OF THEM EMERGE, YOU KNOW, EVERY 4, 5 DAYS, IT'S GOING TO BE MORE AND MORE AND MORE.

>> SO AND THE EXPERTS THAT I TALKED TO SAID, LET'S SAY WITHIN 10 TO 2 WEEKS, THEY SHOULD BE AT FULL THROTTLE 10 DAYS.

AND THEN IT IS THAT LIKE 9200 DECIBEL RANGE.

SO IT'S LOUD, IT'S LOUD AND IT'S KIND OF >> SO I'M NOT GONNA LIE.

I LIVE IN SKOKIE, EVANSTON.

WE HAD QUITE A FEW OF OUR HOUSE OVER THE WEEKEND IN MY IN MY LITTLE MY BOYS HAVING A LOT OF FUN, INCLUDING AS ONE.

>> CRAWLING ON MY SON.

THERE HE IS IN OUR DRIVEWAY.

SHOULD PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT HANDLING THEM?

WELL, FOR ONE THING, THEY'RE HARMLESS, THEY DON'T STAYING.

THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HURT FOR US TO NOT HURT THEM, TRYING TO DAMAGE THEIR WINGS.

>> THEY'RE PRETTY RESILIENT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND.

SO IF YOU WANT TO PICK ONE UP, YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IT FLIP AND OVERSEEING, YOU KNOW, STRIKE BEING ON ITS ABDOMEN.

LOOK AT FOR ORGAN THAT IT HAS THAT MAKES FOUND, YOU KNOW, AND THEN PUT IT BACK ON A TREE.

BUT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE A CAGE WAS REALLY CURIOUS AND INTERESTED AND WANTS TO COLLECT SOME OF THEM, MAYBE THERE LET THEM GO OR JUST COLLECT THEM.
