| ||||
(725 ILCS 5/112A-27) (from Ch. 38, par. 112A-27)
| ||||
Sec. 112A-27. Law enforcement policies. | ||||
(a) Every law enforcement agency
shall develop, adopt, and | ||||
implement written policies regarding arrest
procedures for | ||||
domestic violence incidents consistent with the provisions
of | ||||
this Article. In developing these policies, each law | ||||
enforcement agency shall is
encouraged to consult with | ||||
community organizations and other law
enforcement agencies | ||||
with expertise in recognizing and handling domestic
violence | ||||
incidents. | ||||
(b) In the initial training of new recruits and every 5 | ||||
years in the continuing education of law enforcement officers, | ||||
every law enforcement agency shall provide training to aid in | ||||
understanding the actions of domestic violence victims and | ||||
abusers and to prevent further victimization of those who have | ||||
been abused, focusing specifically on looking beyond the | ||||
physical evidence to the psychology of domestic violence | ||||
situations, such as the dynamics of the aggressor-victim | ||||
relationship, separately evaluating claims where both parties | ||
claim to be the victim, and long-term effects. | ||
The Law Enforcement Training Standards Board shall | ||
formulate and administer the training under this subsection (b) | ||
as part of the current programs for both new recruits and | ||
active law enforcement officers. The Board shall formulate the | ||
training by July 1, 2017, and implement the training statewide | ||
by July 1, 2018. In formulating the training, the Board shall | ||
work with community organizations with expertise in domestic | ||
violence to determine which topics to include. The Law | ||
Enforcement Training Standards Board shall oversee the | ||
implementation and continual administration of the training.
| ||
