State's attorney switches up two supervisory positions

State's Attorney Michael Waller announced last week that he is making changes in the supervisor ranks of his office.

Mary Stanton, an 18-year Lake County prosecutor, will be moving from her role as chief of the misdemeanor division to take over as head of the cyber crime investigations unit.

Dan Kleinhubert, a 20-year veteran of the office, will leave his current assignment as a prosecutor in Circuit Judge Fred Foreman's courtroom to replace Stanton in misdemeanor.

"Mary and Dan are both experienced prosecutors with long histories of high-quality work," Waller said. "I have every confidence they will excel in their new assignments."

More Volo police: The growing village of Volo will be getting more regular police patrols from the Lake County sheriff's office in the near future.

The village currently contracts with the sheriff's office for one deputy for eight hours of daily patrols.

But sheriff's officials say they will be adding a second deputy for an additional eight hours before the end of this month.

The move is necessary because of Volo's rapidly-expanding population, which is expected to hit 10,000 by 2011.

The additional service will bump the village's payment to the county to $32,200 per month for police services, and the village will also pay $25,000 toward the purchase of a new squad car and associated equipment.

A friend indeed: State's Attorney Michael Waller noted the passing the week before last of Patrick Leahy, executive vice president of American Hotel Register Co. in Vernon Hills.

Together with his brothers, James and Thomas, Patrick Leahy provided much-needed support to county law enforcement's battle against high-tech crime.

The company donated two special computers designed to recover evidence hidden inside the hard drives of other computers and made its facilities available for training sessions for officers.

"Pat Leahy and his brothers have always been strong supporters of law enforcement and he will be greatly missed," Waller said. "They helped make Lake County a leader in the prosecution of cyber crimes."
