Summary: ILEAS is a Public Agency of the State of Illinois created by various local law enforcement agencies throughout the State of Illinois pursuant to the Intergovernmental Cooperation Act (5 ILCS 220/1 et seq.). ILEAS is dedicated to a regional approach utilizing cooperative and inter-agency mutual aid for law enforcement in Illinois. The Preserves is a member of ILEAS and supports the aforementioned strategy. ILEAS, using grant funds provided by the Department of Homeland Security through the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (herein known as IEMA), has purchased a number of vehicles for law enforcement mutual aid use. ILEAS and IEMA have determined that the most effective use of those vehicles would be to locate such vehicles in various regions throughout the State of Illinois to provide prompt response to emergencies and to facilitate mutual aid throughout the State. The Preserves has agreed to become custodian of two those vehicles, along with an equipment trailer, with the understanding that the principal purpose of such vehicles is to facilitate mutual aid and interagency/regional emergency response.
