1 | AN ACT concerning local government.
| |||||||||||||||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| |||||||||||||||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| |||||||||||||||||||
4 | Section 5. The Illinois Municipal Code is amended by | |||||||||||||||||||
5 | changing Section 3.1-30-20 as follows:
| |||||||||||||||||||
6 | (65 ILCS 5/3.1-30-20) (from Ch. 24, par. 3.1-30-20)
| |||||||||||||||||||
7 | Sec. 3.1-30-20. Auxiliary police officers.
| |||||||||||||||||||
8 | (a) Auxiliary police officers shall
not be members of the | |||||||||||||||||||
9 | the regular police department of the municipality.
Auxiliary | |||||||||||||||||||
10 | police officers shall not supplement members of the regular
| |||||||||||||||||||
11 | police department of any municipality in the performance of | |||||||||||||||||||
12 | their
assigned and normal duties, except as otherwise provided | |||||||||||||||||||
13 | in this Code.
Auxiliary police officers shall only be assigned | |||||||||||||||||||
14 | to perform the following
duties in a municipality:
(i) to aid | |||||||||||||||||||
15 | or direct traffic within the
municipality, (ii) to aid in | |||||||||||||||||||
16 | control of natural or man made disasters, and
(iii) to aid
in | |||||||||||||||||||
17 | case of civil disorder as directed by the chief of police.
When | |||||||||||||||||||
18 | it is impractical for members of the regular
police department | |||||||||||||||||||
19 | to perform those normal and regular police duties, however,
the
| |||||||||||||||||||
20 | chief of police of the regular police department may
assign | |||||||||||||||||||
21 | auxiliary police officers to perform those normal and regular | |||||||||||||||||||
22 | police
duties. Identification symbols worn by auxiliary police | |||||||||||||||||||
23 | officers shall be
different and distinct from those used by |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | members of the regular police
department. Auxiliary police | ||||||
2 | officers shall at all times during the
performance of their | ||||||
3 | duties be subject to the direction and control of
the chief of | ||||||
4 | police of the municipality. Auxiliary police officers
shall not | ||||||
5 | carry firearms, except with the permission of the chief of
| ||||||
6 | police and while in uniform and in the performance of their | ||||||
7 | duties.
Auxiliary police officers, when on duty, shall also be | ||||||
8 | conservators of the
peace and shall have the powers specified | ||||||
9 | in Section 3.1-15-25.
| ||||||
10 | (b) Auxiliary police officers, before entering upon any of | ||||||
11 | their duties,
shall receive a course of training in the use of | ||||||
12 | weapons and other
police procedures appropriate for the | ||||||
13 | exercise of the powers
conferred upon them under this Code. The | ||||||
14 | training and course of study
shall be determined and provided | ||||||
15 | by the corporate authorities of each
municipality employing | ||||||
16 | auxiliary police officers. Before being permitted to carry a | ||||||
17 | firearm, however, an auxiliary police officer must have the | ||||||
18 | same course of training as required of peace officers under | ||||||
19 | Section 2 of the Peace Officer and Probation Officer Firearm | ||||||
20 | Training Act. The municipal authorities may
require that all | ||||||
21 | auxiliary police officers be residents of the municipality
| ||||||
22 | served by them. Before the appointment of an auxiliary police | ||||||
23 | officer, the
person's fingerprints shall be taken, and no | ||||||
24 | person shall be appointed as an
auxiliary police officer if | ||||||
25 | that person has been convicted of a felony or other
crime
| ||||||
26 | involving moral turpitude.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (c) The Line of Duty Compensation Act
shall be applicable | ||||||
2 | to auxiliary police officers
upon their death in the line of | ||||||
3 | duty described in this Code.
