| 7 | | Sec. 3-6019.
Duties of sheriff; office quarters and
hours. | 8 | | Sheriffs shall serve and execute, within their respective
| 9 | | counties, and return all warrants, process, orders and | 10 | | judgments of
every description that may be legally directed or | 11 | | delivered to them.
A sheriff of a county with a population of | 12 | | less than 1,000,000 may employ
civilian personnel to serve | 13 | | process in civil matters. If an arrest warrant upon complaint | 14 | | under Section 107-9 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, | 15 | | or a warrant of arrest due to failure to appear under Section | 16 | | 107-12 of the Code, originated from a law enforcement agency | 17 | | other than the county sheriff's office, then the county sheriff | 18 | | of a county with a population of more than 600,000 may require | 19 | | that law enforcement agency to store and maintain the warrant. | 20 | | That law enforcement agency is responsible for entering the | 21 | | warrant into the Illinois Law Enforcement Agencies Data System | 22 | | (LEADS) and the National Crime Information Center Database | 23 | | (NCIC). The county sheriff may require the originating law |

| 1 | | enforcement agency to arrange for transportation of the wanted | 2 | | person to the county jail. Originating agencies may contract | 3 | | with the county sheriff or another law enforcement agency to | 4 | | store, maintain, and provide transportation of the wanted | 5 | | person to the county jail. Any law enforcement agency or | 6 | | regional dispatch center may act as holder of the warrant for | 7 | | an originating agency that has no telecommunications | 8 | | equipment.
| 9 | | Each sheriff shall keep and maintain his or her office at | 10 | | the county seat of
the county for which he or she is the | 11 | | sheriff, and shall in counties having a
population of less than | 12 | | 500,000 keep his or her office open and attend to
the duties | 13 | | thereof from 8 o'clock in the forenoon to 5 o'clock in
the | 14 | | afternoon of each working day, excepting such days and half | 15 | | days as,
under any law, are or may be legal holidays, or half | 16 | | holidays.
The hours of opening and closing of the office of the
| 17 | | sheriff may be changed and otherwise fixed and determined by | 18 | | the county
board of such county. Such action taken by the | 19 | | county board
shall be by an appropriate resolution passed at a | 20 | | regular meeting.
| 21 | | Each sheriff shall as needed serve as the inspector general | 22 | | to each municipality whose territory lies within, or which has | 23 | | a majority of its territory within, the county to which the | 24 | | sheriff was elected to serve, if an inspector general has not | 25 | | been appointed by that municipality under Section 3.1-30-30 of | 26 | | the Illinois Municipal Code or during a vacancy in that office. |
