Description
Please visit the site below to explore data dashboards published by the State’s Attorney’s Office beginning 2025. Data Dashboards | Cook County State's Attorney The Initiation results data presented here reflects all of the arrests that came through the door of the State's Attorneys Office (SAO).
An initiation is how an arrest turns into a “case” in the courts. Most cases are initiated through a process known as felony review, in which SAO attorneys make a decision whether or not to prosecute. Cases may also be indicted by a grand jury or, in narcotics cases, filed directly by law enforcement (labeled "BOND SET (Narcotics)" in this data).
