Elgin to hire unarmed guards for Schock Centre due to unruly teens, homeless people

The city of Elgin plans to hire three unarmed guards for the Schock Centre of Elgin to help with problems resulting from unruly teens and homeless people using the facility for daytime shelter. The city of Elgin plans to hire three unarmed security guards for the Edward Schock Centre of Elgin to deal with unruly teens and an influx of homeless people taking shelter at the downtown recreation center.

Andy Frain Services will supply the guards, who will be stationed at the center’s three entrances during business hours and will enforce the facility’s policies and code of conduct, Kozal said. Additionally, two guards will be assigned to Lords Park and Wing Park on weekends during the summer.

That’s resulted in a shift of some of those people to the Schock Centre, “creating issues that are impinging upon the quality of amenities that we provide for paying customers,” he said.Some Elgin City Council members applauded the move, but Councilman Corey Dixon said the bigger issue is not being addressed.
