On Monday, July 7, 2025, at approximately 5:15 p.m., Rockford Police
SCOPE officers were notified of two recent auto thefts. Both vehicles were spotted near
Kilburn Avenue and Wallin Street when one of the vehicles fled. SCOPE officers deployed
the StarChase system, plus stop sticks, and one of the vehicles was disabled. The driver, a
15-year-old male, fled on foot but was able to be taken into custody.
After reviewing the facts of the case, the Winnebago County State’s Attorney’s Office
authorized the charges listed below.
Juvenile Male, 15, Rockford
Vehicle Theft
(lodged in Juvenile Detention) Possession of a Stolen Vehicle
Aggravated Fleeing to Elude
Resisting Arrest
As with any and all investigations, there may be additional charges and arrests.
The charges are merely accusations, and all individuals are considered innocent unless
proven guilty in a court of law.
Here is how the Starchase system works:
- Patrol vehicles are equipped with a vehicle mounted GPS launcher.
- Officers evaluate each vehicle pursuit and can make a decision to activate the StarChase system which arms a GPS tag mounted in the launcher. There are two tags in each launcher per vehicle. A green laser light is emitted on the fleeing vehicle assisting the officer with accurate placement of the GPS tag when deployed.
- Officers can tag a suspect vehicle remotely with the touch of a button inside the patrol vehicle or by using the supplied key fob.
- The tag uses magnetic and adhesive technology to stick to the fleeing vehicle.
- Once a successful deployment occurs, the StarChase monitoring system activates a GPS cellular signal which activates a mapping feature in the Dispatch Center.
- The pursuing officer can then decide on whether to continue or disengage emergency pursuit driving and back off from the fleeing vehicle, thereby reducing risks to the community and officer. Each situation will vary depending on the suspect’s actions, driving behaviors by the suspect, and the offense the suspect is fleeing from.
- The GPS tag can track and locate the fleeing vehicle in real-time, without compromising officer and community safety.
- As the Dispatch Center continues to receive real-time updates on speed, direction of travel, and GPS coordinates, officers can be sent to the area without the suspect’s knowledge or awareness. The mapping feature can also manage situations where a suspect discards contraband or a firearm during a police chase, allowing officers to secure this contraband or firearm later.
- Dispatchers, police officers, and supervisors can continue to monitor the fleeing vehicle until it comes to a stop. When the vehicle stops, responding officers can move into the location and continue the ongoing investigation of locating and apprehending the driver and occupants, while also recovering the fleeing vehicle.
- Studies have shown that when offenders are not being actively pursued by emergency police vehicles, they return to normal and prudent speeds within 60 seconds, thereby enhancing safety for the motoring public.
- StarChase reports an 85% apprehension rate after reviewing 10 years of data.
- The department will utilize this technology as another tool for officers and supervisors to consider during certain types of pursuits.
El lunes 7 de julio de 2025, aproximadamente a las 5:15 p. m., los agentes de la Policía de Rockford
SCOPE fueron notificados de dos robos de vehículos recientes. Ambos vehículos fueron avistados cerca de la avenida Kilburn y la calle Wallin cuando uno de ellos se dio a la fuga. Los agentes de SCOPE desplegaron el sistema StarChase, además de las palancas de parada, y uno de los vehículos quedó inutilizado. El conductor, un joven de 15 años, huyó a pie, pero logró ser detenido.
Tras revisar los hechos del caso, la Fiscalía Estatal del Condado de Winnebago
autorizó los cargos que se enumeran a continuación.
Menor de 15 años, Rockford
Robo de vehículo
(presentado en un centro de detención juvenil) Posesión de un vehículo robado
Huida agravada para eludir el arresto
Resistencia al arresto
Como en cualquier investigación, puede haber cargos y arrestos adicionales. Los cargos son meras acusaciones, y todas las personas son consideradas inocentes a menos que se demuestre su culpabilidad en un tribunal de justicia.
