The decision to file charges is ultimately made by the Adams County States Attorney’s Office. They review the case and assign it to a prosecutor to review. The prosecutor reviews the case and requests additional follow-up from the deputy investigating the case or files the case for charging. It usually takes several months before the case goes to trial. In complex cases, the delay can be longer. For information, you may contact the victim/witness office at 217-277-2229.

If there are injuries involved, call 9-1-1. If there is only property damage, call 217-277-2200 to report the accident. If the accident you are involved in involves over $500.00 total damage to vehicles and/or injury to any party, you are required by law to complete the State Accident Report.

Contact the Adams County Sheriff’s Department at 217-277-2200 so that a vacation check sheet can be filled out. This will guarantee extra patrol for the duration of your absence.

D.A.R.E. stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education. The program is more than educating children about the dangers of drugs. It also teaches them ways to respond to the pressures they experience in the 5^th grade and beyond. Each student completes a workbook as a part of the program. There are seventeen lessons, fifty minutes in length taught one per week through a semester.

Turn yourself in! We will find you eventually one way or another. Why be in fear everywhere you hear a siren? You can also call our warrant section at 217-277-2209 and ask if you have a warrant and what the bond is. Most courts will work with you if you turn yourself in but do not have the entire bond. It is much better to turn yourself in than for a deputy to find you and bring you in wearing handcuffs.

Visitation hours are on Tuesday/Thursday from 6:30 - 8 pm and Saturday/Sunday from 1 pm to 3 pm. Registration is required 24 hours in advance and can be made at www.securustech.net/videovisitation.
