The Cook County Sheriff's Office has recently shared several updates through their official social media account, detailing initiatives and activities aimed at community safety and engagement. These posts highlight efforts ranging from increased patrols to support for the Special Olympics and successful law enforcement collaborations.

On June 20, 2025, the Cook County Sheriff’s Police announced they would be "conducting additional patrols starting today through July 7 to ensure safety of motorists across the county." The initiative is supported by a grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation, coinciding with the onset of road trip season.

Later that day, another update highlighted their involvement in a significant community event. The office expressed pride in kicking off Leg 5 of the Special Olympics Illinois Torch Run alongside dignitaries, athletes, families, and law enforcement. They noted their long-standing partnership with Special Olympics since "the Torch Run debuted in 1986." A special moment was marked by James lighting the torch, accompanied by his sister.

In an announcement made on June 21, 2025, the Sheriff's Fugitive Apprehension Unit reported a successful collaboration with the U.S. Marshals Great Lakes Fugitive Task Force. They took into custody Jordan Marcano-Feliciano on an arrest warrant for a weapons offense from Mayaguez County, Puerto Rico. The update stated: "FUGITIVE FOUND"

These activities underscore ongoing efforts by local law enforcement to enhance public safety and foster community relations.
