More Brain Drain

  
   

 Having problems attracting and keeping talent

Chief of criminal prosecutions, Natosha Toller, abruptly announced that she is leaving the office after 16 years. Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx selected Toller to lead the criminal prosecution branch

just over a year ago.

“One of the last lines of defense … just quit,” said a member of the state’s attorney’s office, who called Toller “a real prosecutor. All the [prosecutors] in the building just lined up and clapped her out.” “I’ve known Natosha since she started working for the office and I watched her with pride as she’s elevated throughout the office,” Foxx said in a statement tonight. “She is an example of tireless leadership and commitment to the people she served.”

Tolller emailed a copy of her resignation letter to staff members this afternoon. In the letter, which was provided to CWBChicago by a source, she thanked members of her team, her supervisors, and Foxx.

“I leave this office with my integrity and reputation intact,” Toller said in closing. “I started as an [assistant state’s attorney] in appeals, and I leave as Chief of the Criminal Prosecutions Bureau. I truly thank God for His many blessings and for allowing me this once in a lifetime profession.”
