Members of Anita Alvarez's Cook County State’s Attorney’s Community
Justice Center in conjunction with the Chicago Police Department and
Court Advocacy Chair of the 19th Chicago Police District Richard Thale
will deliver the Court Advocacy presentation to inform residents on how
they can show support for victims and solidarity against crime in our
community.
The presence in court of Court Advocacy volunteers sends a strong
message to the defendant, the judge and all other interested parties in
the criminal justice system: the community cares about the outcome of
these cases and is willing to devote its time and energies to monitoring
the workings of the judicial system. Also, Court Advocacy volunteers
provide support for victims and witnesses who may be hesitant to testify
in court.
Buena Park Neighbors is a 46th Ward neighborhood association of more
than 200 residents, businesses, and not-for-profit organizations in the
nationally registered Buena Park Historic District. Our mission is to
improve the quality of life for everyone in Buena Park.
