JOLIET — Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow has organized a Speakers Bureau made up of law enforcement professionals from his office and crime prevention experts from throughout the community.
Members of the bureau are available to present information on relevant crime-prevention topics to students, educators, parents, community groups, senior citizens, businesses, local governments and faith-based organizations.
The presentations are free.
The panel includes Glasgow as well as prosecutors, investigators and staff members who each have extensive expertise in their fields.
Subjects include:
Internet and technology safety.
Gang awareness and prevention.
Identity theft and financial crimes.
Recognizing scams that target senior citizens.
Drunken driving consequences.
Substance abuse prevention.
Domestic violence education.
Character education.
Teen peer juries.

"As a prosecutor, I know the most effective way to fight crime is through prevention," Glasgow said.
The office also has partnered with Tri-River Police Training Association to provide training and continuing education to law enforcement officers on a variety of topics as well as updates on the latest case law.
Representatives from the office also are available to staff vendor booths at community resource fairs to hand out informational materials and answer questions.
