His police department invests heavily in investigations and uses undercover patrols and technology, such as license plate readers to spot stolen vehicles entering Orland Park, about 26 miles outside Chicago.
"We invest in investigations really heavily so that we produce so much evidence that even Kim Foxx has to charge," Pekau said. "She doesn't have a choice because we give them so much evidence."
