2 for members of the regular county police department or regular
3 deputies to perform their assigned and normal duties, the

15 auxiliary deputies shall not carry firearms, except with the
16 permission of the sheriff, and only while in uniform and in the

19 duties, shall receive a course of training in the use of
20 weapons and other police procedures as shall be appropriate in

22 Division, which training and course of study shall be
23 determined and provided by the sheriff of each county utilizing
24 auxiliary deputies, provided that, before being permitted to
25 carry a firearm an auxiliary deputy must have the same course
26 of training as required of peace officers in Section 2 of the

5 person shall be appointed as such auxiliary deputy if he or she
6 has been convicted of a felony or other crime involving moral
7 turpitude.
8     Auxiliary deputies may receive such compensation as is set
9 by the County Board and not be paid a salary, except as
10 provided in Section 3-6036, but may be reimbursed for actual
11 expenses incurred in performing their assigned duty. The County
12 Board must approve such actual expenses and arrange for
13 payment.
14     Nothing in this Division shall preclude an auxiliary deputy
15 from holding a simultaneous appointment as an auxiliary police
16 officer pursuant to Section 3-6-5 of the Illinois Municipal
17 Code.
