Section 10 of the Illinois Streetgang Terrorism Omnibus
Prevention Act.
    "Law enforcement agency" means an agency of this State or
unit of local government that is primarily responsible for the
detection, investigation, or prevention of crime and the
enforcement of the criminal laws of this State.

accessed by an agency or person outside of the agency that
created the records that populate the database.
 
    Section 10. Requirements for use of gang databases and
shared gang databases. Each law enforcement agency that
maintains a gang database or has access to a shared gang
database shall have a policy regarding those databases. Each
policy shall be implemented on or before January, 1, 2024,

as soon as practicable after the effective date of this Act.
The policy shall include, but not be limited to:
        (1) that personnel authorized to access a gang
    database or shared gang database are limited to sworn law
    enforcement personnel, non-sworn law enforcement support

    justice technical or maintenance personnel, including
    information technology and information security staff and
    contract employees, who have been subject to character or
    security clearance and who have received approved
    training;
        (2) any records contained in a gang database, shared
    gang database, gang-related information in a law

    record shall not be disclosed for the following purposes:
    employment, education, licensing, or housing, except that
    law enforcement and criminal justice entities may use
    information contained in a gang database or shared gang
    database for employment purposes, and records contained in
    a gang database or shared gang database may be disclosed
    to comply with federal law, for national security or
    homeland security purposes, for military screening
    purposes, or for other appropriate law enforcement
    purpose;
        (3) security procedures; and
        (4) the review and purge process from gang databases
    and shared gang databases.

shared gang database is not admissible.
