Yesterday, Kane County Sheriff Ron Hain issued a blistering statement rejecting a request from the Illinois State Police and the Illinois Emergency Management Agency for suburban police departments to offer assistance to the Chicago Police Department in case of officer shortages there.

Welcome to our latest edition of Fox Valley Magazine’s 4 FOR THE WEEKEND where Justine Fields won’t get sacked, we promise. So let’s get to it, starting with….. Appropriate Attire Required Alright you slobs, times to dress like a grown-up for a change. OK, maybe that’s a little harsh.
