AN ACT concerning local government.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois, |
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Counties Code is amended by changing Section |
3-6013 as follows:
|
(55 ILCS 5/3-6013) (from Ch. 34, par. 3-6013)
|
Sec. 3-6013. Duties, training and compensation of |
auxiliary deputies. Auxiliary deputies shall not supplement |
members of the regular county
police department or regular |
deputies in the performance of their assigned
and normal |
duties, except as provided herein. Auxiliary deputies may be
|
assigned and directed by the sheriff to perform the following |
duties in
the county:
|
To aid or direct traffic within the county, to aid in |
control of natural
or human made disasters, to aid in case of |
civil disorder as assigned and
directed by the sheriff, |
provided, that in emergency cases which render it
impractical |
for members of the regular county police department or regular
|
deputies to perform their assigned and normal duties, the |
sheriff is hereby
authorized to assign and direct auxiliary |
deputies to perform such regular
and normal duties. |
Identification symbols worn by such auxiliary deputies
shall be |
different and distinct from those used by members of the |
|
regular
county police department or regular deputies. Such |
auxiliary deputies
shall at all times during the performance of |
their duties be subject to the
direction and control of the |
sheriff of the county. Such auxiliary deputies
shall not carry |
firearms, except with the permission of the sheriff, and
only |
while in uniform and in the performance of their assigned |
duties.
|
Auxiliary deputies, prior to entering upon any of their |
duties, shall
receive a course of training in the use of |
weapons and other police
procedures as shall be appropriate in |
the exercise of the powers
conferred upon them under this |
Division, which training and
course of study shall be |
determined and provided by the sheriff of each
county utilizing |
auxiliary deputies, provided that, before being
permitted to |
carry a firearm an auxiliary deputy must have the same
course |
of training as required of peace officers in Section 2 of the
|
Peace Officer Firearm Training Act. The county authorities |
shall require
that all auxiliary deputies be residents of the |
county served by them.
Prior to the appointment of any |
auxiliary deputy his or her fingerprints
shall be taken and no |
person shall be appointed as such auxiliary deputy if
he or she |
has been convicted of a felony or other crime involving moral
|
turpitude.
|
Auxiliary deputies may receive such compensation as is set |
by the County Board, with the advice and consent of the |
Sheriff, not to exceed the lowest hourly pay of a full-time |
|
sworn member of the regular county police or sheriff's |
department and not be paid a salary, except as provided in
|
Section 3-6036, but may be reimbursed for actual expenses |
incurred in
performing their assigned duty. The County Board |
must approve such actual
expenses and arrange for payment.
|
Nothing in this Division shall preclude an auxiliary deputy |
from holding
a simultaneous appointment as an auxiliary police |
officer pursuant to Section
3-6-5 of the Illinois Municipal |
Code.
