He stated that certain members of the Elgin Police Department aided and abetted a known drug felon in having false charges filed against him; which the State's Attorney dropped the charges based on their having no merit for prosecution. He believes there is an endemic problem with certain members of the police department and their relationship with the public. The police sergeant involved told Mr. Rosen he files too many complaints. He hopes the new Police Chief will make some changes, and she advised him that there will be an internal investigation.
