Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Juvenile Court Act of 1987.  Provides  that  probation      
   officers  shall  be  considered  peace  officers. Provides that in the      
   exercise of their official duties, probation officers,  sheriffs,  and      
   police  officers  may, anywhere within the State, arrest any minor who      
   is in violation of any conditions of his or her probation, continuance      
   under supervision, or informal supervision. Provides that  it  is  the      
   duty  of  the  officer  making the arrest to take the minor before the      
   court having jurisdiction over the minor for  further  action.  Amends      
   the  Probation  and  Probation  Officers  Act. Provides that probation      
   officers  shall  be  considered  peace  officers  (rather  than  peace      
   officers in the exercise of their official duties). Provides  that  in      
   the  exercise  of their official duties, probation officers, sheriffs,      
   and police officers may arrest a probationer who is  in  violation  of      
   the  conditions  of his or her conditional discharge or supervision as      
   well as in violation of his or her probation.
