Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart plans to scrap decades-old electronic monitoring program over safety concerns – Chicago Sun-Times

Dart’s negotiating with Chief Judge Timothy Evans to have the Cook County court system’s separate GPS program watch over people released from the Cook County Jail pending trial. As of Friday, Evans's staff was monitoring 1,085 defendants for potential curfew violations, including 18 people charged with murder; He says he’ll need about 150 more employees and $23.9 million a year to expand his program.
