| ||||||
| 2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||
| 3 | represented in the General Assembly:

| ||||||
| 7 | Sec. 112A-27. Law enforcement policies. | ||||||
| 8 | (a) Every law enforcement agency
shall develop, adopt, and | ||||||
| 9 | implement written policies regarding arrest
procedures for | ||||||
| 10 | domestic violence incidents consistent with the provisions
of | ||||||
| 11 | this Article. In developing these policies, each law | ||||||
| 12 | enforcement agency shall is
encouraged to consult with | ||||||
| 13 | community organizations and other law
enforcement agencies | ||||||
| 14 | with expertise in recognizing and handling domestic
violence | ||||||
| 15 | incidents. | ||||||
| 16 | (b) In the initial training of new recruits and every 5 | ||||||
| 17 | years in the continuing education of law enforcement officers, | ||||||
| 18 | every law enforcement agency shall provide training to aid in | ||||||
| 19 | understanding the actions of domestic violence victims and | ||||||
| 20 | abusers and to prevent further victimization of those who have | ||||||
| 21 | been abused, focusing specifically on looking beyond the | ||||||
| 22 | physical evidence to the psychology of domestic violence | ||||||
| 23 | situations, such as the dynamics of the aggressor-victim | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | relationship, separately evaluating claims where both parties | ||||||
| 2 | claim to be the victim, and long-term effects. | ||||||
| 3 | The Law Enforcement Training Standards Board shall | ||||||
| 4 | formulate and administer the training under this subsection (b) | ||||||
| 5 | as part of the current programs for both new recruits and | ||||||
| 6 | active law enforcement officers. The Board shall formulate the | ||||||
| 7 | training by July 1, 2017, and implement the training statewide | ||||||
| 8 | by July 1, 2018. In formulating the training, the Board shall | ||||||
| 9 | work with community organizations with expertise in domestic | ||||||
| 10 | violence to determine which topics to include. The Law | ||||||
| 11 | Enforcement Training Standards Board shall oversee the | ||||||
| 12 | implementation and continual administration of the training.
