Lunch & Learn With Cook County Sheriff, Tom Dart

More About The Speaker

Since just 2006, as Cook County Sheriff, Tom Dart has brought an aggressive yet innovative approach to law enforcement. His willingness to take bold steps that yield substantive results have earned the department accolades from organizations and elected officials from across the nation and from the halls of Congress. 

Dart is responsible for overseeing a police department that patrols and investigates crimes, while also hunting for fugitives, throughout suburban Cook County. He also oversees more than 10,000 inmates and 3,000 correctional officers at the Cook County Jail – the largest single-site jail in the nation. Additionally, Dart’s deputies are responsible for providing judicial safety in hundreds of courtrooms scattered across Cook County, while they are also responsible for serving thousands of court orders every year.

Dart has used his diverse background to bring a unique approach to each of those efforts at the Sheriff’s Department. A former state prosecutor and state legislator, Dart has long fought for the rights of others and protecting the most vulnerable of our society.
