The Illinois Homicide Investigators Association recognized Summit Police Detectives for their efforts. Lead Detective Tom Keough along with Detective Andrew White and Detective Jim Stechly were presented an award for excellence in their tireless efforts to solve a homicide that occurred in 2020. The offender in that case was subsequently identified and through excellent work on behalf of the Summit Detectives in partnership with the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force and Summit patrol officers was brought to justice and currently awaiting trial. The detectives were recognized during this year's Illinois Homicide Investigators Conference in the presence of their peers from throughout the State. The Summit Police Department would like to extend our great appreciation to the investigators of the South Suburban Major Crimes Task Force who responded and assisted with great effort and professionalism.
