State’s Attorney’s Office celebrates Hispanic/ Latino Heritage Month with outdoor town hall event
On September 20, over 75 people attended a town hall meeting held by the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office in honor of National Hispanic and Latino Heritage Month. The event, titled “Connecting with Community,” was an opportunity for the Hispanic and Latino community of Lake County to learn more about what the State’s Attorney’s Office does and how to connect with other community service agencies.
“In seeking justice for every victim and in protecting the community, our office will always be aware that we must work hard to treat everyone equally regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, preferred language, or place of birth,” State’s Attorney Eric Rinehart told the crowd. “For that reason, our office employs bilingual attorneys and counselors and has access to interpreters of all languages,” he said.
Since taking office, State’s Attorney Rinehart has emphasized increasing office diversity and intentional outreach into under-represented communities. Rinehart has tripled the number of attorneys who speak Spanish and doubled the number of bilingual victim witness counselors. These changes are designed to ensure that all residents have access to representation and services. One such hire, Chief of Victim Services Jacqueline Herrera Giron, encouraged res-
idents to feel comfortable in calling the State’s Attorney’s Office and law enforcement whenever a crime occurs. State’s Attorney Rinehart and Chief Herrera Giron explained how crimes arrive at the State’s Attorney’s Office and how the process evolves. Residents were also able to ask questions during a Q&A portion of the program. Translation services were afforded
