H. Excluded Jurisdiction (705 ILCS 405/5-130), continued:
What follows is an examination of the different offenses that fall under excluded jurisdiction and are considered automatic transfers. On such cases, Law Enforcement Officers should contact their local State's Attorney's office for direction.
Furthermore, if a juvenile is arrested for any of these offenses but does not qualify for exclusion based upon age or other factors, the local State's Attorney's office should be contacted for guidance. This is especially true in Cook County, Illinois, and is highly recommended by the Juvenile Division of the Cook County State's Attorney's Office.
