CENTRAL ILLINOIS CRITICAL INCIDENT STRESS DEBRIEFING TEAMWho are we? A volunteer organization, established in 1986, consisting <strong>of</strong> mental health pr<strong>of</strong>essionals andemergency service personnel trained in critical incident stress and stress management.What do we do? Provide services to emergency service workers involved in critical incidents. A criticalincident is defined as any incident that causes a significant stress reaction for the emergency worker(s), such asdeath or serious injury <strong>of</strong> a co-worker <strong>of</strong> a child, multiple fatalities, or an incident where the victim is known tothe responder.Types <strong>of</strong> services provided:1. Pre-incident education: Provide education on critical incident stress and how to deal with it.2. On-Scene Support: Consists <strong>of</strong>: a) support and information to workers showing signs <strong>of</strong> stress; b) informand advise commander on personnel exhibiting signs <strong>of</strong> stress; c) help families or other until appropriateagencies arrive.3. Demobilization: On-scene services to provide information on stress and provide a mechanism for gettingrest/food for workers. Usually needed for a disaster or long term incident/rescue.4. Defusing: Provided immediately after an incident. The purpose is to provide information on normal stressreactions and stress management. Also, it is a time to find out if a debriefing is needed and if so, to arrangeit.5. Debriefing: Ideally provided 24-72 hours after an incident. It is a formal process to discuss stress reactionsto an incident and provides education on managing stress to participants.6. Services for Spouse/Significant others: Includes: a) educational programs – to enhance families’understanding and knowledge <strong>of</strong> critical incident stress and provide information on ways to cope with thistype <strong>of</strong> stress; b) debriefings – in incidents where the health and safety <strong>of</strong> the worker was in jeopardy orwhere injury or death has occurred, debriefings are <strong>of</strong>fered to assist family members and survivors.7. Services for Line-<strong>of</strong>-Duty Death: Support, information, education, and debriefings are provided toemergency personnel and their families.Research has shown that approximately 89% <strong>of</strong> all emergency services personnel will suffer a normal stressreaction to any traumatic incident. Denial <strong>of</strong> such a reaction will prevent an individual from dealing with thestress and will prolong and compound the problem. Experience has shown that emergency workers whorecognize the symptoms <strong>of</strong> critical incident stress and who take advantage <strong>of</strong> the help available are betterprotected from the effects <strong>of</strong> stress in both their personal and pr<strong>of</strong>essional lives.We are available and respond promptly to requests for service.For more information call 217-333-8911 or write to:CICISDTP.O.

1. There is statutory authority for peace <strong>of</strong>ficers totake custody <strong>of</strong> certain minors under specificcircumstances. Such custody is not an arrest.Only reasonable and necessary force may beused to protect the <strong>of</strong>ficer and/or take custody <strong>of</strong>the minor. If the person to be taken into custodyor another physically resists or obstructs the<strong>of</strong>ficer’s attempts to take authorized custody, thatperson may be arrested for resisting orobstructing a peace <strong>of</strong>ficer.2. 705 ILCS 405/3-7; 405/4-4; 405/5-401,authorizes a peace <strong>of</strong>ficer to take warrantlesstemporary custody <strong>of</strong> a minor if the minor isfound in a public place and in need <strong>of</strong> medicalattention or the <strong>of</strong>ficer has established probablecause to believe that the minor is:a. Delinquent.b. Addicted,c. Requiring authoritative intervention,d. Neglected,e. Dependent, orf. An escaped ward <strong>of</strong> the court.Temporary custody is not the equivalent <strong>of</strong> anarrest.3.

Make immediate reasonable attempts tonotify the minor’s parents or legal guardian<strong>of</strong> the minor’s custody and location.b.

When a minor isreleased, it shall be in accordance with theprocedures outlined under 42.2.1(A)(4) <strong>of</strong>this policy.d. If the decision has been made not to releasethe minor, the minor must be taken withoutun-necessary delay to the Youth DetentionCenter. The decision to transport a juvenileto the Youth Detention Center shall be madeonly by an on-duty supervisor or juvenile<strong>of</strong>ficer.4. 705 ILCS 405/3-4 provides peace <strong>of</strong>ficers withthe authority to take a minor into limited custody(not to exceed 6 hours) without a warrant forbeing:a. Absent from home without consent <strong>of</strong> theparent or guardian, orb. Beyond the control <strong>of</strong> the minor’s parent orguardian in circumstances which constitute asubstantial or immediate danger to theminor’s physical safety.5. An <strong>of</strong>ficer taking a minor into limited custodymust immediately inform the minor <strong>of</strong> the reasonfor custody and make a prompt, reasonableattempt to notify the parent(s) or guardian(s) <strong>of</strong>the custody and location <strong>of</strong> the minor.a. If the minor consents, the minor should bereleased to a parent or guardian and, ifnecessary, referred to an appropriate socialservice agency.b.

A juvenile or delinquent minor in limitedcustody will be kept under constantsupervision. A juvenile or delinquent minorin limited custody may not be held in securecustody (placed in a locked room orhandcuffed to a stationary object).6. Juveniles and delinquent minors are more likelyto be involved in criminal <strong>of</strong>fenses or victimizedwhen committing status <strong>of</strong>fenses. Therefore, it isthe policy <strong>of</strong> this department to take custody <strong>of</strong>any minor found to be violating curfew laws,violating liquor laws, and/or truant.a. CURFEW LAWS - A minor found to be inviolation <strong>of</strong> curfew laws shall be released toa parent, guardian, Roundhouse, or CatholicCharities.

Urbana and Savoy, together with the<strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Champaign</strong>, constitute a police district.8. Authority Within Police Districts: 65 ILCS 5/7-4-8grants the police in a police district full authorityand powers as police <strong>of</strong>ficers in any part <strong>of</strong> thedistrict.9.

If an arrest is made outside <strong>of</strong> ourjurisdiction, immediate notification must bemade to the jurisdiction concerned and areport <strong>of</strong> the incident shall be prepared andsubmitted to a supervisor and a copy sent tothe jurisdiction in which the arrest wasmade.c. Officers are not authorized to make arrestsfor traffic violations observed outside <strong>of</strong> the<strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Champaign</strong> unless they are within thepolice district.11.

Search Warrant: Officers who posses asearch warrant have the authority to executethe warrant anywhere within the State <strong>of</strong>Illinois (Illinois Compiled Statutes 725 ILCS5/107-2).1) Prior to executing the warrant, the locallaw enforcement agency should benotified <strong>of</strong> the <strong>of</strong>ficer’s presence withinthe jurisdiction.b. “Hot or Fresh Pursuit”: Officers have theauthority to make an arrest based uponprobable cause and without a warrantanywhere in Illinois when the <strong>of</strong>ficer isengaged in “hot or fresh pursuit” (People v.Clark, 360 N.E. 2d 1160 {1977}).c.

2. Mentally Ill Persons: 405 ILCS 5/3-606authorizes a peace <strong>of</strong>ficer to take into custodyand transport a person to a mental health facilitywhen the <strong>of</strong>ficer has reasonable grounds tobelieve that the person is subject to involuntaryadmission and in need <strong>of</strong> immediatehospitalization to protect such person or othersfrom harm.3. Person In Need <strong>of</strong> Medical Treatment: It has longbeen recognized and affirmed in court thatproviding for public safety is a proper exercise <strong>of</strong>police authority. In this role, <strong>of</strong>ficers may comeupon persons who have suffered injury andrefuse medical treatment. In some cases inwhich medical treatment is refused, the injuredperson will not be competent to knowingly refusetreatment due to conditions which may includeintoxication, drug influence, or disorientation.Such conditions may be due to age, medicalcondition, effects <strong>of</strong> serious injury, or otherpossible causes.a. In such cases when an <strong>of</strong>ficer determines,based upon observation and reasonedjudgment, or is made aware by a competentindividual possessing the experience orknowledge (i.e. paramedic), that an injuredperson requires prompt medical attention fora life-threatening injury and the personappears incompetent to make such aknowing decision, the <strong>of</strong>ficer is authorizedand expected to cause the injured person’stransport to a medical facility by ambulance.When an <strong>of</strong>ficer is confronted with a seriousquestion as to need, and injuries do notappear to be life-threatening, a supervisormay be consulted for further direction.1) In the event that an <strong>of</strong>ficer causes aperson to be transported for medicaltreatment, either voluntarily orinvoluntarily, the facts andcircumstances shall be documented in apolice report.D. Off-duty Authority and Responsibility.1. An <strong>of</strong>ficer, by virtue <strong>of</strong> his public employment, isvested by law with a duty to maintain public orderand to make lawful arrests. An <strong>of</strong>f-duty <strong>of</strong>ficer,however, faced with a situation involving criminalconduct, is usually neither equipped norprepared to handle the situation in the samemanner as if he were on duty. Therefore, an <strong>of</strong>fduty<strong>of</strong>ficer confronted with a situation involvingcriminal conduct should consider causing theresponsible law enforcement agency to takeappropriate action. However, in some cases, theexigency <strong>of</strong> a given situation may call forimmediate action by the <strong>of</strong>ficer. The <strong>of</strong>f-duty<strong>of</strong>ficer should take action only after consideringthe tactical situation with regard to his own safetyand the interests <strong>of</strong> the Department.E. Out <strong>of</strong> State Authority and Responsibility.1. Peace <strong>of</strong>ficer powers <strong>of</strong> sworn <strong>of</strong>ficers <strong>of</strong> the<strong>Champaign</strong> Police Department do not extendbeyond this state. When a police matter <strong>of</strong> the<strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Champaign</strong> requires police action, but isoutside the State <strong>of</strong> Illinois, the appropriate lawenforcement agency must be utilized before anyenforcement action is taken.1.2.2 AUTHORITY TO CARRY AND USE WEAPONSA. Illinois compiled Statutes 720 ILCS 5/24-1, 720 ILCS5/24-2, and 430 ILCS 65/2 grant the legal authority tosworn <strong>of</strong>ficers to carry firearms.B. The legal authority <strong>of</strong> sworn <strong>of</strong>ficers to use weaponsin the performance <strong>of</strong> their duties is governed by theUnited States Constitution, Illinois Compiled Statutes,case law, and Departmental Policy and Procedure.The specific requirements <strong>of</strong> this order are delineatedin Policy 1.3.1.2.3 CONSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENTSOBSERVEDA. During the course <strong>of</strong> a criminal investigation, all<strong>of</strong>ficers will ensure that the constitutional rights <strong>of</strong>persons involved are not violated and shall follow allprocedures as set forth in the Illinois CompiledStatutes pertaining to constitutional requirements.Particular attention should be given to protectagainst:1. Coercion or involuntary confessions oradmissions during interviews, field interviews, orinterrogations.2. Failure to inform defendants <strong>of</strong> their rights,including access to counsel.3. Pretrial publicity tending to prejudice a fair trial.4. Delay in arraignment.1.2.4 WARRANTLESS SEARCH AND SEIZUREThe specific requirements <strong>of</strong> this order are delineatedin Policy 1.8.1.2.5 ARREST <strong>PROCEDURE</strong>S WITH OR WITHOUTA WARRANTA. Illinois Compiled Statutes 725 ILCS 5/107-2 providesthat a peace <strong>of</strong>ficer may arrest a person when he hasreasonable grounds to believe that a person iscommitting or has committed an <strong>of</strong>fense. When alawful arrest is affected, with or without an arrestwarrant, a law enforcement <strong>of</strong>ficer may reasonablysearch the person arrested and the area within suchperson’s immediate presence, or under his immediatecontrol, during or after the arrest for the authorizedpurpose <strong>of</strong>:1. Protecting the <strong>of</strong>ficer from attack.2. Preventing the person from escaping.3. Discovering fruits <strong>of</strong> the crime.4. Discovering any instruments, articles, or thingswhich may have been used in the commission <strong>of</strong>the <strong>of</strong>fense.Page 3 <strong>of</strong> 5


5. Discovering any instruments, articles, or thingswhich may constitute evidence <strong>of</strong> the <strong>of</strong>fense(including contraband).It shall be recognized that the phrase “arrestee’simmediate presence” has been defined by theSupreme Court as the area within the arrestee’simmediate control, i.e., that area from which thearrestee might gain possession <strong>of</strong> or seize a weaponor other things to assault the <strong>of</strong>ficer or affect anescape or seize concealable or destructible evidence.All arrestees shall be accorded the protections <strong>of</strong> the“Rights <strong>of</strong> Accused” as provided for in the IllinoisCompiled Statutes 725 ILCS 5/103, et seq.B. Unless otherwise directed a shift supervisor orsuperior, the arresting <strong>of</strong>ficer will be responsible forpreparing the appropriate police reports.1.2.6 ALTERNATIVES TO ARREST ANDCONFINEMENT, PRETRIAL RELEASEA. Officers must exercise discretion in the selection <strong>of</strong>an appropriate alternative to an arrest. Therefore, itis important to be aware <strong>of</strong> the alternatives to arrestand confinement. Alternatives <strong>of</strong> this nature include:1. Traffic Citations.a. Traffic citations are used for non-felonyviolations <strong>of</strong> the Illinois Vehicle Code (IllinoisCompiled Statutes 625 ILCS 5) and certain<strong>City</strong> ordinances.2. Notices to Appear.a. Notices to Appear are used for various, nontraffic<strong>City</strong> ordinance violations.3. Written Warnings.a. Written warnings are used for minor trafficand ordinance violations. Officers arereminded that voluntary compliance is thegoal <strong>of</strong> minor enforcement actions.Warnings should not be used for majorviolations or those violations specificallyaddressed in a written directive.4. Referral.a. Referral is the practice <strong>of</strong> directing a matterto another Departmental component, <strong>City</strong>department, governmental agency or socialservice organization.5. Informal resolution.a. Informal resolution is the practice <strong>of</strong>resolving problems without arrest, citation orreferral. Problem solving is a significantmeasure <strong>of</strong> an <strong>of</strong>ficer and the department’sability to maintain order. Informal resolutionis an excellent method to deal with minorviolations, simple disputes ordisagreements, or where the investigating<strong>of</strong>ficer determines that inadequate probablecause exists. Officers will seek directionfrom their supervisor when the appropriatecourse <strong>of</strong> action is in doubt.B. Officers must consider the following factors whenexercising alternatives to arrest:1. The presence or absence <strong>of</strong> probable cause.2. The level <strong>of</strong> cooperation by victims, witnesses,suspects and <strong>of</strong>fenders.3. Existing law and the elements <strong>of</strong> the <strong>of</strong>fense.4. The severity <strong>of</strong> the <strong>of</strong>fense.5. Available resources.6. Departmental Policy and Procedure and writtendirectives.C. Alternatives to pre-arraignment confinement are citedin the Rules <strong>of</strong> the Illinois Supreme Court. Personswho are arrested in Illinois are generally entitled tobond. The Supreme Court promulgates a pre-setbond schedule for misdemeanors and trafficviolations. In the event an arrestee cannot post thepre-set bond, the <strong>of</strong>ficer may authorize an “I”(signature only) bond, pursuant to the rules <strong>of</strong> theCourt. A judge must set bonds for felony arrests.Only a judge may reduce bonds for warrant arrests.1.2.7 USE OF DISCRETION BY SWORN OFFICERSA. It is unrealistic to expect <strong>of</strong>ficers to enforce all lawsand ordinances regardless <strong>of</strong> the circumstancesencountered. The proper use <strong>of</strong> discretion is animportant aspect <strong>of</strong> law enforcement and ispredicated on good judgment. The use <strong>of</strong> discretionrequires that an <strong>of</strong>ficer make responsible decisionswhich can withstand scrutiny by the Department,other jurisdictional components <strong>of</strong> the criminal justicesystem, and the community itself.1. Sworn <strong>of</strong>ficers are encouraged to exercisediscretion when exercising their various duties.The use <strong>of</strong> discretion shall always be inaccordance with the law and departmentaldirectives. When discretion is employed, it mustbe reasonable, defensible, and alwaysaccomplish a legitimate law enforcementpurpose.2. An <strong>of</strong>ficer’s discretionary decision regardingseverity <strong>of</strong> enforcement action or inaction mustnot be influenced by malice, vengeance, orprejudice based upon status, age, race, ethnicbackground, religious belief, gender or sexualpreference, etc.1.2.8 STRIP SEARCHESA. It shall be the policy <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Champaign</strong> PoliceDepartment that no person arrested for any <strong>of</strong>fense,whether felony, misdemeanor, traffic, or regulatory,shall be strip searched unless there is reasonablebelief that the individual is concealing a weaponand/or cannabis and/or a controlled substance.1. No search <strong>of</strong> any body cavity other than themouth shall be conducted without a dulyPage 4 <strong>of</strong> 5


executed search warrant. Any warrantauthorizing a body cavity search shall specifythat the search must be performed undersanitary conditions and conducted either by orunder the supervision <strong>of</strong> a physician licensed topractice medicine in all <strong>of</strong> its branches in thisstate.2.

CHAMPAIGN POLICE DEPARTMENT<strong>POLICY</strong> and <strong>PROCEDURE</strong> <strong>POLICY</strong> NUMBER: 1.8SUBJECT: PROCEDURAL RULES FOR STOP AND FRISK, EFFECTIVE DATE: 10/01/09WARRANTLESS SEARCHES, AND WARRANTREVISED DATE:SEARCHESREFERENCE ILEAP:ADM.02.02<strong>POLICY</strong>:REFERENCE CALEA: 1.2.4INDEX AS:1.8.1 STOP AND FRISK1.8.2 WARRANTLESS SEARCHES1.8.3 WARRANT SEARCHESPURPOSE:The purpose <strong>of</strong> this policy is to establish properprocedures for conducting contacts, stops, and pat-downsearches, and to establish procedural rules for searchesboth with and without warrants.DEFINITIONS:Contact: Face-to-face communications between an <strong>of</strong>ficerand a person under circumstances where the person isfree to leave.Inventory: An inventory is a listing <strong>of</strong> items seized. Thepurpose <strong>of</strong> an inventory is to protect or secure theproperty <strong>of</strong> the owner, to ensure that property seized isnot dangerous, and to protect the Department againstfalse claims that property was lost, damaged, or stolenwhile in police custody. An inventory will document,receipt, and account for each item for which theDepartment could assume responsibility.Pat-down: A “frisk” or external manipulation <strong>of</strong> anindividual’s outer clothing for the sole purpose <strong>of</strong>discovering weapons.Reasonable Suspicion: Articulable facts that, within thetotality <strong>of</strong> the circumstances, lead an <strong>of</strong>ficer to reasonablysuspect that criminal activity has been, is being, or isabout to be committed.Search: A search is an examination <strong>of</strong> a person, place, orany other thing for the purpose <strong>of</strong> discovering “seizableitems.”Seizure: A seizure involves taking custody <strong>of</strong> a “seizableitem”, which could include a motor vehicle under certaincircumstances.Seizable Item: A seizable item is an item <strong>of</strong> contraband,evidence <strong>of</strong> a crime, fruits <strong>of</strong> a crime, a weapon, or anitem that may be used to aid an escape from custody.Stop / Terry Stop: The brief detainment <strong>of</strong> an individual,whether on foot or in a vehicle, based upon reasonablesuspicion, for the purpose <strong>of</strong> determining the individual’sidentity and resolving the <strong>of</strong>ficer’s suspicions concerningcriminal activity.1.8.1 STOP AND FRISKA. In accordance with 725 ILCS 5/108-1.01, an <strong>of</strong>ficermay pat down or frisk a person for weapons if the<strong>of</strong>ficer has stopped a person for temporaryquestioning pursuant to 725 ILCS 5/107-14(Temporary Questioning Without Arrest) andreasonably suspects that the person may be armedand dangerous.B. The authority to search for and seize weapons is forthe limited purpose <strong>of</strong> allowing an <strong>of</strong>ficer to protecthimself and others. The authority is clearly NOT forthe purpose <strong>of</strong> searching for and seizing evidence,although during the course <strong>of</strong> frisk evidence may onoccasion be discovered and become the basis for anarrest.C. The “plain feel” doctrine is described in Minnesota v.Dickerson, 113 S. Ct. 2130. This doctrine allows an<strong>of</strong>ficer to seize evidence other than a weapon, if,while conducting a pat down or frisk, the nature <strong>of</strong> thecontraband evidence is “immediately apparent” to the<strong>of</strong>ficer based upon his feel <strong>of</strong> the object through theperson’s clothing during the pat down.D. Contact Procedures.1. An <strong>of</strong>ficer may initiate a contact with a person inany place that the <strong>of</strong>ficer has a right to be. Acontact may be undertaken by an <strong>of</strong>ficer whoreasonably believes under the circumstancesthat some investigation <strong>of</strong> an unusual situation isappropriate.2. The <strong>of</strong>ficer shall identify himself or herself as apolice <strong>of</strong>ficer as soon as reasonably possibleafter the contact is made, and will conduct thecontact in a polite and courteous manner.Persons contacted may not be stopped ordetained against their will, or frisked withoutconsent. If the person refuses to cooperate, theymust be permitted to go on their way. However,if it seems appropriate under the circumstances,they may be kept under surveillance.E. Stop Procedures.1. If an <strong>of</strong>ficer reasonably suspects that a personhas committed, is committing, or is about tocommit a crime, he has the authority to stop thatperson. Reasonable suspicion is more than ahunch or feeling, but less than the probablecause standard necessary for an arrest. Every<strong>of</strong>ficer who conducts a stop must be prepared tocite those specific factors that led him to believePage 1 <strong>of</strong> 8


that the stop was justified. Such facts include,but are not limited to, the following:a. The demeanor <strong>of</strong> an individual suggests thathe is part <strong>of</strong> a criminal enterprise or isengaged in a criminal act.b. The actions <strong>of</strong> the individual suggest that heis engaged in criminal activity.c. The hour <strong>of</strong> day or night is inappropriate forthe suspect’s presence in the area.d. The individual’s presence in a neighborhoodor location is inappropriate.e. The individual is carrying a suspiciousobject.f. The individual’s clothing bulges in a mannerthat suggests he is carrying a weapon.g. The individual is located in proximate timeand place to an alleged crime.h. The <strong>of</strong>ficer has knowledge <strong>of</strong> the individual’sprior criminal record or involvement incriminal activity.i. The individual flees at the sight <strong>of</strong> a police<strong>of</strong>ficer.j. Police training and experience.F. Procedures for Initiating a Stop.1. Based upon observation <strong>of</strong> suspiciouscircumstances or upon information frominvestigation, an <strong>of</strong>ficer may initiate the stop <strong>of</strong> aperson if he has reasonable suspicion to do so.The following guidelines shall be followed:a. Explanation to detained person: Officersshall act with as much restraint and courtesytowards the person stopped as is possible.The <strong>of</strong>ficer making the stop shall identifyhimself as a police <strong>of</strong>ficer as soon aspracticable after making the stop. In everycase, at some point during the stop the<strong>of</strong>ficer shall give the person stopped a briefexplanation <strong>of</strong> the purpose <strong>of</strong> the stop.b. Duration <strong>of</strong> the stop: A person stoppedpursuant to these procedural rules may bedetained at or near the scene <strong>of</strong> the stop fora reasonable period <strong>of</strong> time. Officers shouldconfine their questions to those concerningthe suspect’s identity, place <strong>of</strong> residence,and/or other inquiries necessary to resolvethe <strong>of</strong>ficer’s suspicions. However, in noinstance shall an <strong>of</strong>ficer detain a personlonger than is reasonably necessary to makethese limited inquiries and resolvesuspicions.c. Rights <strong>of</strong> detained person: Stopped personsare not required, nor can they be compelled,to answer any questions during the stop.Failure to respond to an <strong>of</strong>ficer’s inquiries isnot, in and <strong>of</strong> itself, sufficient grounds tomake an arrest, although it may providesufficient justification for additionalobservation and investigation.d. Use <strong>of</strong> force: An <strong>of</strong>ficer shall use only thatforce which is reasonably necessary to carryout the investigative function <strong>of</strong> a stop. Theamount <strong>of</strong> force used to effect a stop shallnot be such that it could cause death orgreat bodily harm to the person beingstopped.G. Procedures for Pat-Down Searches.1. An <strong>of</strong>ficer has the right to perform a pat-downsearch (or frisk) <strong>of</strong> the outer garments <strong>of</strong> astopped person for weapons or dangerousinstruments when the <strong>of</strong>ficer reasonablysuspects that the person is carrying a concealedweapon or dangerous instrument and that a friskis necessary to protect the <strong>of</strong>ficer or others. Notevery stop poses sufficient justification forconducting a frisk.2. A frisk is a limited search for the purpose <strong>of</strong>protection only. If the external feeling <strong>of</strong> theperson’s clothing fails to disclose evidence <strong>of</strong> aweapon, no further search may be made.H. Reporting.a. Securing separable possessions: If theperson is carrying an object such as ahandbag, briefcase, sack or other item thatmay conceal a weapon, the <strong>of</strong>ficer may notopen the item unless there is reasonablesuspicion that it contains a weapon, butshould place it out <strong>of</strong> the suspect’s reach.b. Scope <strong>of</strong> search: The <strong>of</strong>ficer should beginthe frisk at that part <strong>of</strong> the person’s clothingmost likely to contain a weapon. If the outerclothing is too bulky to allow the <strong>of</strong>ficer todetermine if a weapon is concealedunderneath, the <strong>of</strong>ficer may open the outerclothing to allow a pat-down <strong>of</strong> the innerclothing. If a weapon is located, possession<strong>of</strong> which is a crime, a full-custody arrest maybe made.c. Areas within reach: The <strong>of</strong>ficer may alsoperform a limited search <strong>of</strong> areas within thestopped person’s reach if the <strong>of</strong>ficerreasonably suspects that such areas mightcontain a weapon.1. Adequate records <strong>of</strong> stop or frisk activity willserve to ensure the proper exercise <strong>of</strong> lawenforcement authority. An <strong>of</strong>ficer who hasstopped or frisked any person shall promptlydocument such action. In all cases a fieldinterview card will be completed. If the contactresults in an arrest, an <strong>of</strong>fense report will berequired. These documents shall be submittedto a supervisor without unreasonable delay.1.8.2 WARRANTLESS SEARCHESA. Warrantless searches or seizures must be basedupon one <strong>of</strong> the recognized exceptions to the warrantPage 2 <strong>of</strong> 8


equirement in order to be lawful. The recognizedexceptions to the warrant requirement include:1. Searches or seizures incident to arrest.2. Movable vehicle exception.3. Exigent circumstances.4. Open areas/fields.5. Premises or property involving no reasonableexpectation to privacy.6. Consent.7. Plain view.B. Consent Searches.1. When an <strong>of</strong>ficer desires to make a search notauthorized by these procedural rules and nosearch warrant exists, consent to search may berequested only if reasonable suspicion exists.The person(s) who consents to the search musthave genuine authority over the immediate areaor object to be searched. Consent may be giveneither verbally or in writing. Verbal consentshould be witnessed by a third party. Whenfeasible, written consent should be obtained priorto consent searches.2. In order for consent to be valid it must be:a. Clearly given;b. Freely and intelligently given;c. Given without duress or coercion; andd. Specific as to what may be searched.3. The person(s) giving consent may withdraw theirconsent at any time.4. Any <strong>of</strong>ficer conducting a consent search shallcomplete either a report or a field interview card.The <strong>of</strong>ficer shall:a. Document the circumstances surroundingthe search.b. Document specifically which <strong>of</strong>ficers werepresent for the search.c. Forward the report or the field interview cardto a supervisor at the conclusion <strong>of</strong> the shift,or as soon as possible.C. Suspicionless Search <strong>of</strong> Parolee.1. The Illinois Supreme Court held in People v.Wilson, No. 102562, 2-7-08, in a unanimousdecision, that the residence and person <strong>of</strong> anindividual who is subject to MandatorySupervised Release (MSR) may be searchedwithout warrant and without suspicion, and thatthe Fourth Amendment does not prohibit a police<strong>of</strong>ficer from conducting a suspicionless search <strong>of</strong>a parolee. 730 ILCS 5/3-3-7(a)(10) provides thata condition <strong>of</strong> every Mandatory SupervisedRelease (MSR) is that the subject consent to asearch <strong>of</strong> his or her person, property, orresidence under his or her control. Officersbasing their search on this ruling should state intheir documentation (FI Card or report) how theyknew that the subject was on MandatorySupervised Release (MSR), and indicate that thesearch was based on the suspicionless search <strong>of</strong>parolee ruling.D. Seizable Items Found in Plain View.1. An <strong>of</strong>ficer lawfully in any place may, withoutobtaining a search warrant, seize any item whichhe observes in plain view (including itemsobserved through the use <strong>of</strong> a flashlight), if hehas probable cause to believe that the item is a“seizable item.”2. There are two conditions required to justify aPLAIN VIEW seizure:a. The <strong>of</strong>ficer’s lawful presence in (or prior validintrusion into) the area entitled to FourthAmendment protection; andb. It must be immediately apparent that theitem is a seizable item to justify its seizure.Moving items or the rearrangement <strong>of</strong> itemsto note serial numbers, for example, is notsupported by the plain view doctrine3. An <strong>of</strong>ficer lawfully in any place to effect an arrestmay not go into other rooms solely for thepurpose <strong>of</strong> looking for seizable items in plainview. A visual inspection <strong>of</strong> other areas can bemade if there is reasonable suspicion based onspecific and articulable facts that anotherperson(s) is present and may pose a threat to<strong>of</strong>ficers. This inspection must be limited to areaswhere a person could be found and can last nolonger than is necessary to dispel the reasonablesuspicion <strong>of</strong> danger and no longer than it takesto complete the arrest and depart.E. Searches incident to arrest.1. Search <strong>of</strong> person incident to arrest.a. A full-custody arrest is the taking <strong>of</strong> a personinto physical custody for purpose <strong>of</strong>removing the arrestee from the place <strong>of</strong>arrest and taking him to police headquartersfor arrest processing or interview, to court, orto jail.1) Whenever an <strong>of</strong>ficer makes a fullcustodyarrest <strong>of</strong> a person, he SHALLconduct a full warrantless search <strong>of</strong> thearrested person’s clothing and thesurface <strong>of</strong> his/her body in a mannerdesigned to reveal the presence <strong>of</strong>seizable items.2) The <strong>of</strong>ficer, may at his/her discretion,also conduct a warrantless search <strong>of</strong>:Page 3 <strong>of</strong> 8


i. The contents <strong>of</strong> items or containerswithin the area <strong>of</strong> arrestee’simmediate control at the time <strong>of</strong> thesearch (whether or not on his/herbody or on/in his/her clothing).ii.The contents <strong>of</strong> items or containersbeyond the arrestee’s immediatecontrol if the arrest is made in alocation where the arrestee has noreasonable expectation <strong>of</strong> privacy.2. Search <strong>of</strong> a vehicle incident to arrest.a. Pursuant to the United States SupremeCourt ruling in Arizona v. Gant, <strong>of</strong>ficers areno longer automatically entitled to a search<strong>of</strong> the passenger compartment <strong>of</strong> a vehiclefrom which an individual is arrested. Prior tothe Gant ruling, the permissible scope <strong>of</strong> asearch incident to arrest included the areawithin the defendant’s immediate control atthe time <strong>of</strong> arrest; the permissible scope <strong>of</strong> asearch incident to arrest is now consideredto be the area within the defendant’simmediate control at the time <strong>of</strong> the search.b. As a result <strong>of</strong> the Gant ruling, a searchincident to arrest <strong>of</strong> the passengercompartment <strong>of</strong> a vehicle is now permittedonly when;1) It is reasonable to believe that evidencerelevant to the crime <strong>of</strong> arrest might befound in the vehicle; or2) There is probable cause to believe thata vehicle contains evidence <strong>of</strong> a crime;or3) There is reasonable suspicion to believethat anyone in the vehicle (not only thearrestee) is dangerous or might accessthe vehicle to gain immediate control <strong>of</strong>weapons.3. Unless circumstances dictate otherwise,warrantless searches should be conducted at thetime and place <strong>of</strong> arrest and in the immediatepresence <strong>of</strong> the arrested person. If seizableitems are found, or probable cause otherwisedevelops, a wider search may be justified.4. If items or containers are seized incident toarrest and removed from the area <strong>of</strong> thearrestee’s immediate control, a warrantlesssearch to examine the contents <strong>of</strong> said item orcontainer must be based on one or more <strong>of</strong> thefollowing:a. Consent.b. Exigent circumstances.c. Examination pursuant to departmental policyfor inventories <strong>of</strong> an arrestee’s property,provided that the <strong>of</strong>ficer reasonably expectsthat the arrestee will be detained in jail untila court appearance.F. Stop Followed by Citation or Notice to Appear1. Individuals charged with petty traffic violations orother petty <strong>of</strong>fenses and other persons who arenot placed under full-custody arrest should notbe searched and neither should their vehicles. If,based upon specific and articulable facts, the<strong>of</strong>ficer making the stop reasonably suspects thatthe person is armed and dangerous he may“frisk” the person for weapons and may searchareas <strong>of</strong> the passenger compartment where aweapon could be concealed.G. Moveable Vehicle Exception.1. Incident to Arrest.a. The moveable vehicle exception allows an<strong>of</strong>ficer to search the entire vehicle when hehas probable cause to believe evidence maybe located where he is looking.1) If probable cause is limited to a certainarea, the <strong>of</strong>ficer cannot go beyond thescope <strong>of</strong> that search.2) This type <strong>of</strong> search should not beconfused with a search incident toarrest where the area <strong>of</strong> “immediatecontrol” becomes an issue.b. It is not necessary to keep the arrestee nearthe vehicle during this type <strong>of</strong> search. Thesearch should be conducted at the sceneafter the arrestee has been secured in asquad car. In some cases, conditions maynot allow the vehicle to be searched at thescene <strong>of</strong> the arrest. Such conditionsinclude;1) Hostile crowd.2) Bad weather.3) Heavy traffic.4) Absence <strong>of</strong> needed equipment or keys.In such cases the vehicle shall be secured inpolice custody and searched as soon aspractical and/or safe. The <strong>of</strong>ficer mayconsider consulting with a supervisor orrepresentative <strong>of</strong> the State’s Attorney’s <strong>of</strong>ficefor guidance after moving the vehicle.2. Not Incident to Arrest.a. If an <strong>of</strong>ficer has probable cause to believethat seizable items are in a vehicle, eitherlocked or unlocked, all areas <strong>of</strong> the vehicleand any containers within the vehicle thatcould contain the seizable items may besearched without a warrant as long as:1) The vehicle is in a public place.2) The vehicle appears to be drivable.3) The vehicle is occupied or has recentlybeen occupied.Page 4 <strong>of</strong> 8


4) The <strong>of</strong>ficer concludes there isinadequate time in which to obtain asearch warrant before the vehicle isdriven away or the seizable items canbe removed from the vehicle.H. Exigent Circumstances and Fresh Pursuit.1. The exigent circumstances exception to thewarrant requirement allows an <strong>of</strong>ficer to searchwithout a warrant under situations where the<strong>of</strong>ficer recognizes there is substantial risk topersons, property, or evidence if the <strong>of</strong>ficer doesnot immediately enter and search.a. There are several key factors to consider indetermining whether or not exigentcircumstances exist.1) The gravity <strong>of</strong> the <strong>of</strong>fense, particularlycrimes <strong>of</strong> violence.2) The suspect is reasonably believed tobe armed and dangerous.3) There is probable cause that thesuspect committed the <strong>of</strong>fense.4) There is a strong likelihood that thesuspect is on the premises.5) That the suspect is likely to escape ifnot immediately apprehended.6) The circumstances <strong>of</strong> entry and timedelay.7) The likelihood evidence will be lost,destroyed, or tampered with (Non-Residential Premises Only).8) Immediate entry is necessary to preventdeath or great bodily harm, or to renderassistance to sick or injured within thepremises (Any Premise).9) The reasonableness <strong>of</strong> the policeconduct.2. Fresh pursuit occurs when <strong>of</strong>ficers take directaction to apprehend a suspect who is fleeing toavoid arrest.a. An <strong>of</strong>ficer in fresh pursuit <strong>of</strong> a fleeing felonysuspect may follow the suspect into avehicle or building for purposes <strong>of</strong> making aprobable cause arrest and may search thepremises to locate the suspect and toprotect the <strong>of</strong>ficer. Following an arrest, anyfurther searching must be governed by theprocedural rules for searches incident toarrest.b. Absent exigent circumstances or consent, awarrantless entry into an individual’s hometo arrest him for a violation <strong>of</strong> a non-jailable<strong>of</strong>fense is a Fourth Amendment violation.I. Crime Scene Searches.1. Crime scene searches may fall into several types<strong>of</strong> warrantless searches, including:a. Consent.b. Plain view.c. Search incident to arrest.d. Exigent circumstances.2. Officers should always consider seeking theadvice <strong>of</strong> the State’s Attorney’s <strong>of</strong>fice for crimescene searches, particularly for residenceswhere the suspect or <strong>of</strong>fender has anexpectation <strong>of</strong> privacy and exceptions to thesearch warrant requirement do not apply.J. Searches <strong>of</strong> Property/Premises Involving NoReasonable Expectation <strong>of</strong> Privacy.1. An <strong>of</strong>ficer lawfully in any place may, without asearch warrant, recover and search for seizableitems located in areas or in containers wherethere is no reasonable expectation <strong>of</strong> privacy,including the following:a. Open fields.b. Abandoned Property.c. Trash containers as long as the user <strong>of</strong> thecontainer has taken the final steps todispose <strong>of</strong> its contents.2. Areas immediately surrounding buildings andhomes should not be considered “open fields.”Instead, courts have tended to view these areasas “curtilage,” or the equivalent <strong>of</strong> a yard, andthey are presumed to be within the area wherethere is an expectation <strong>of</strong> privacy.3. Areas generally outside the curtilage that areviewed as “open fields” include:a. Woods.b. Pastures.c. Grasslands.d. Waterways.e. Open land not within curtilage.If an owner has taken any steps to protect theabove listed areas from trespass or observation;it may no longer be considered “open fields.”4. An <strong>of</strong>ficer without a search warrant may searchfor seizable items on any premises based on theconsent <strong>of</strong> a third party if a suspect no longerhas the right <strong>of</strong> possession in the premises or towhich the suspect has demonstrated his or herintention not to return.Page 5 <strong>of</strong> 8


K. K-9 Searches.1. A K-9 shall not be used unless articulable,reasonable suspicion exists for the search. An FIcard must be completed by the <strong>of</strong>ficer requestingthe K-9 search. The K-9 handler shall alsodocument the search by entering the requiredinformation into the Department’s K-9 database.L. Strip Searches.1. Strip searches will be conducted strictly inconformance with the procedures listed in 725ILCS 5/103-1 “Rights on Arrest”, paragraphs C-G.2. Strip search means having an arrested personremove or arrange some or all <strong>of</strong> his or herclothing so as to permit a visual inspection <strong>of</strong> thegenitals, buttocks, anus, female breasts, orundergarments <strong>of</strong> the person.3. No person arrested for a traffic, regulatory, ormisdemeanor <strong>of</strong>fense, except in cases involvingweapons or a controlled substance, shall be stripsearched unless there is a reasonable belief thatthe person is concealing a weapon or acontrolled substance.4. Paragraphs C-G, 725 ILCS 5/103-1, require that:a. A person <strong>of</strong> the same sex as the arresteemust conduct strip searches.b. The search must be conducted in a placewhere the search cannot be observed byothers.c. Prior written authorization <strong>of</strong> a policecommand <strong>of</strong>ficer is obtained.d. The Department’s strip search report formmust be completed. A copy <strong>of</strong> which mustbe provided to the person searched.e. Body cavity searches, other than the mouth,require a warrant and physician supervision.1.8.3 WARRANT SEARCHESA. If an <strong>of</strong>ficer concludes during an investigation that asearch warrant may result in the recovery <strong>of</strong> evidencethat may be lost or destroyed if there is a delay, the<strong>of</strong>ficer will, without unreasonable delay, present allavailable information to his or her supervisor. Thesupervisor will determine whether or not to seek asearch warrant.B. The legal requirements for obtaining and servingsearch warrants can be found in 725 ILCS 5/108,paragraphs 3-14.2. Upon written complaint under oath or affirmationwhich states sufficient facts for probable cause,and which particularly describes the place and/orperson to be searched and the things to beseized, any judge may issue a search warrant forseizure <strong>of</strong>:a. Things used in the commission <strong>of</strong>, or whichmay be evidence <strong>of</strong>, the <strong>of</strong>fense for whichthe warrant is issued.b. A kidnapping victim.c. A human fetus or corpse.5. The following elements must appear upon theface <strong>of</strong> the search warrant for it to be valid on itsface:a. It must be issued by a judge.b. It must be issued in duplicate. Oral ortelephonic warrants are not authorized.c. It may either be directed to all peace <strong>of</strong>ficersin the State <strong>of</strong> Illinois or to a specificperson/<strong>of</strong>ficer.d. It commands the directed person(s) tosearch a particular person or place.e. It commands the seizure <strong>of</strong> particularlydescribed things.f. It specifies the time and date <strong>of</strong> issuance.The warrant is valid for only 96 hours fromthe time <strong>of</strong> issuance.g. It must be signed by the judge with the title<strong>of</strong> his or her <strong>of</strong>fice.6. The <strong>of</strong>ficer who obtained the warrant isresponsible for the following:a. Serving the search warrant only uponapproval and direction <strong>of</strong> a supervisor.b. Ensuring the warrant is served within 96hours <strong>of</strong> issuance.c. Making sure that only necessary andreasonable force is used to effect entry tothe specified place to be searched.d. Ensuring that only the property specified inthe warrant is searched for.e. Seizing only the items described in thewarrant, or such other items as can belawfully seized.f. A duplicate copy <strong>of</strong> the warrant shall be leftwith any person from whom property hasbeen seized, or left at the scene if no personis available.g. A copy <strong>of</strong> the warrant complaint will not beprovided or left at the scene.h. The warrant return and a written inventoryshall be made without unnecessary delay tothe issuing judge or before any designatedjudge. The inventory must be prepared andsigned under oath by the <strong>of</strong>ficer whoobtained/served the warrant.Page 6 <strong>of</strong> 8


i. Complete an <strong>of</strong>fense report explaining thecircumstances surrounding the search andwarrant service. A copy <strong>of</strong> the warrant,warrant return, and inventory must beincluded with the report.C. Warrant Search <strong>of</strong> Premises.1. Plan Preparation for Warrant Service.a. An on duty supervisor shall be notified <strong>of</strong> apending search.b. The supervisor in command <strong>of</strong> the searchwarrant shall be responsible for:1) Reviewing the search warrant foraccuracy and validity prior to service <strong>of</strong>the warrant.2) Determining and identifying any hazardsthat may exist3) Determining the number <strong>of</strong> personnelneeded.4) Determining equipment needs.5) Discussing the service plan with all<strong>of</strong>ficers and ensuring that each <strong>of</strong>ficerunderstands his assignment. In mostcases the service plan and assignmentsshould be written.6) Ensuring that all <strong>of</strong>ficers are wearingbadges or other items identifying themas police <strong>of</strong>ficers and that these itemsare clearly displayed and easilyrecognizable.7) Obtaining a sketch or floor plan <strong>of</strong> thepremises to be searched, if possible.8) Verifying the premises by address ordescription.9) Making every reasonable effort toensure that the correct premise is beingentered.2. Search Warrant Service.a. The supervisor in charge <strong>of</strong> the warrantservice shall coordinate the search with allother supervisors involved, particularly thosewithin the District where the search is tooccur.b. The search team shall knock and announceits identity and purpose to the person(s) inapparent control <strong>of</strong> the premise to besearched unless the warrant authorizes aforcible no-knock entry. If it is unclear thatanyone is present, the notice must be givenin a manner likely to be heard by anyonewho is present.c. After knocking and announcing, the searchteam may use necessary and reasonableforce to gain entry if they believe thatadmittance is being denied, unreasonablydelayed, or that the premise is unoccupied.d. If the search team has been compromised(i.e. they are seen approaching the premiseand they have probable cause to believethat knocking and announcing wouldendanger the life or safety <strong>of</strong> any person),necessary and reasonable force may beused to gain entry without notice beinggiven.e. The search team shall enter the premiseaccording to the predetermined plan.f. The first person to enter the premise mustbe in an authorized police uniform.g.

There are certain personality traits and individualabilities necessary in the make-up <strong>of</strong> a SWAT <strong>of</strong>ficer.Those personality traits are courage, self-discipline,initiative, decisiveness, responsibility, loyalty, and theability to work as a member <strong>of</strong> a team. The individualabilities are physical fitness, good motor coordination,good shooting skills, and the ability to perform undergreat stress. Applicants who possess these traits areusually capable <strong>of</strong> being trained in the essential tasksrequired for SWAT service.D. The selection process will be designed to measurethe quality <strong>of</strong> a candidate against these traits andabilities. Testing for the SWAT Team will consist <strong>of</strong>the following:1. A physical fitness test consisting <strong>of</strong> the followingevents:a. Sit/Reach.b. Sit-ups (one minute).c. Bench Pressd. 1.5 mile rune. Push-ups (one minute)2. The applicant will complete a psychologicalexamination at the department’s expense todetermine their ability to function as a SWAT<strong>of</strong>ficer.3.

The procedure to be followed when a team memberfails a performance skill is remediation followed by animmediate re-test. Failure to pass a re-test will resultin the team member being placed on non-deployablestatus for a period <strong>of</strong> 30 days. Within 30 days theteam member must improve their skill level andrequest a re-test. Failure to take or pass the re-testwill result in dismissal from the team.J. When a team member is placed on non-deployablestatus twice in a one-year period it will result in theirstatus being reviewed for possible dismissal by teamleadership.K. Physical fitness tests will be conducted on a quarterlybasis. The tests will be conducted by a team leader,with a minimum <strong>of</strong> three team members present – theleader conducting the test, a scorer, and the membertaking the test. Team members must participate in allphysical fitness tests. A team member who is unableto make a scheduled test must request a test on analternate schedule within fourteen (14) days <strong>of</strong> thescheduled test. Exceptions may be made when ateam member is on vacation or attending a weeklongschool. Failure to take or pass any physical fitnesstest will result in the team member being placed onnon-deployable status for a period <strong>of</strong> 30 days. Priorto the end <strong>of</strong> that 30 day period, the team membermust take and pass a re-test. Failure to take and/orpass the re-test will result in immediate dismissal.L. If the failure to take a physical fitness test is due tothe existence <strong>of</strong> a valid injury, as determined by theSWAT Team Commander, the team member willbegin a 90 day rehabilitative process. If 90 days isdeemed insufficient based upon a doctor’s report, theteam member will be placed on a temporary leave <strong>of</strong>absence for a period not to exceed 180 days. If theteam member requires a rehabilitation <strong>of</strong> more than180 days then they will be dismissed from the teambut may re-apply as previously outlined in this policy.Any team member who is unable to take a fitness testdue to injury will be placed on non-deployable status.M. Any team member who is convicted <strong>of</strong> a crime or wholoses certification under Illinois Training andStandards Board guidelines, whether temporarily orpermanently, will be permanently dismissed from theteam.N. Any team member who is given time <strong>of</strong>f or suspendedwithout pay will be subject to a SWAT review board,the results <strong>of</strong> which could result in discipline up toand including dismissal from the team.O.

If the negligent discharge did not impact anotherperson, then the team member will be placed onnon-deployable status for 30 days and givenaggressive remedial training in the handling <strong>of</strong>weapons.b. If the negligent discharge impacted anotherperson, then the team member will bepermanently dismissed from the team.P. Any team member who fails to adequately maintainassigned equipment may be dismissed from theteam. Any team member who loses equipment,through negligence, will be required to replace theequipment at his own expense.

The purpose <strong>of</strong> this policy statement is to make<strong>of</strong>ficers aware <strong>of</strong> available alternatives whenresponding to street gatherings or labor disputes.1. During periods <strong>of</strong> severe economic recession,high unemployment, social unrest, or labordispute, this Department will maintain anincreased awareness <strong>of</strong> situations which couldquickly escalate into civil disorder or a civildisturbance.2. Department personnel will be cognizant <strong>of</strong> anindividual citizen’s rights to free speech andlawful assembly when responding to streetgatherings or labor disputes.3. When responding to a complaint concerningactivities at a street gathering or labor dispute,the investigating <strong>of</strong>ficer(s) will conductthemselves in such a manner so as to notprovoke a civil disorder.4. To reduce the likelihood <strong>of</strong> a major disturbance,the investigating <strong>of</strong>ficer(s) will determine andconsider the following factors prior to initiatingcorrective actions:a. The evidence and seriousness <strong>of</strong> anyviolations;b. How corrective actions may be perceived byothers in the community; andc. Whether or not there are a sufficient number<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficers available to complete the actionwithout requiring excessive force.5. Actions taken by investigating <strong>of</strong>ficers are limitedto those which are reasonably necessary toresolve the situation, consistent with the followingsequence <strong>of</strong> alternatives:a. Make police presence known.b. Maintain constant surveillance.c. Counsel.d. Warn.e. Order to “move on.”f. Make arrest.6. Investigating <strong>of</strong>ficers will regard the “move on”order as serious interference with personalfreedom, therefore:a. The “move on” order may be used only inlieu <strong>of</strong> arrest and when a minor violation <strong>of</strong> astatute or ordinance has been committed.b. Whenever possible, the involved personswill be informed <strong>of</strong> the following:i. Any complaint received;ii.iii.The ordinance/statute being violated;andThe consequences <strong>of</strong> failing to obey the“move on” order.7. When the investigating <strong>of</strong>ficer discoversevidence <strong>of</strong> a serious violation <strong>of</strong> astatute/ordinance and has decided that thealternative courses <strong>of</strong> action are inappropriate,the <strong>of</strong>ficer may make a full-custody arrest <strong>of</strong> the<strong>of</strong>fender(s).46.11.2 <strong>POLICY</strong> GUIDELINES FOR LABOR DISPUTESA. The law will be enforced impartially.B. Police department personnel will avoid fraternizationwith parties to the dispute and/or the appearance <strong>of</strong>taking sides in the dispute. Supervisors and <strong>of</strong>ficerswill also refrain from voicing their personal opinionsregarding any issue(s) in dispute.C. The right to picket peacefully in numbers during theday or night will be respected by the police, butneither force nor violence will be tolerated.D. The police will neither prohibit nor limit the size <strong>of</strong>placards used by picketers nor restrict the number <strong>of</strong>peaceful participants unless otherwise specified bycourt injunction.E. An attempt will be made by police to obtain thecooperation <strong>of</strong> both parties to the dispute and tocontrol the demeanor <strong>of</strong> persons involved in thedispute.Page 1 <strong>of</strong> 3


F. One problem may be the consumption <strong>of</strong> alcoholicbeverages or the intoxication <strong>of</strong> participants. Union<strong>of</strong>ficials will be provided with a reasonable opportunityto remove intoxicated person from the picket line inlieu <strong>of</strong> arrest for disorderly conduct.G. The general public has a right to free and immediateuse <strong>of</strong> public sidewalks, public roadways, and toingress and egress locations where picketing is beingconducted.H. All violations <strong>of</strong> law reported to any <strong>of</strong>ficer at thescene <strong>of</strong> any labor dispute will be reported on an<strong>of</strong>ficial police report.I. When mass picketing is conducted in a congestedarea, or where pedestrians or motorists are beingdeprived <strong>of</strong> the use <strong>of</strong> sidewalks or roadways, thepublic inconvenience will be brought to the attention<strong>of</strong> the union <strong>of</strong>ficials and they will be directed toimmediately remedy the situation.J. Because parties to a labor dispute <strong>of</strong>ten desire towithdraw their criminal and civil complaints upon thesettlement <strong>of</strong> a labor dispute, arrests for minorinfractions <strong>of</strong> law will occur only to reduce thepotential for escalation <strong>of</strong> an incident. Also,complainants to minor violations <strong>of</strong> law may bereferred to the State’s Attorney or <strong>City</strong> Attorney’sOffice for possible complaints and/or warrants <strong>of</strong>arrest. This permits a cooling <strong>of</strong>f period and ensures,to some extent, that complaints are not prompted byemotion.K. An opportunity which permits self-restraint on the part<strong>of</strong> the involved parties is encouraged. Incidents <strong>of</strong> aminor nature will be brought to the attention <strong>of</strong> the<strong>of</strong>ficial who has supervisory authority over theperson(s) involved. Police action will be takenif/when this procedure fails. Incidents involvingviolence, disturbing <strong>of</strong> the peace, and unlawful actsthat lead to disorder will not be tolerated.L. When felonies or crimes <strong>of</strong> violence occur at a scene,an investigation shall be conducted. If probablecause exists, an arrest will be made.M. If the need arises, command or observation postsmay be established, but they shall not be establishedon the property <strong>of</strong> either party involved in the dispute.N. Police <strong>of</strong>ficers may be assigned to observe job-actionsites, and highly visible police patrol and/orsurveillance methods may be used when appropriate.O. When the driver <strong>of</strong> a motor vehicle desires to cross apicket line, it is best to have a union representativedirect union personnel to clear an entrance. If aunion representative’s attempt to do so isunsuccessful, the police will clear the entrance.46.11.3 CONCEPT OF OPERATIONSA. During periods <strong>of</strong> time when there is an increase inthe likelihood <strong>of</strong> street gatherings or labor disputes,this department will increase its efforts to gather,analyze, and distribute essential informationpertaining to potential trouble areas. Concurrently,refresher training will be provided to ensure that all<strong>of</strong>ficers <strong>of</strong> this department are aware <strong>of</strong> availablealternatives when responding to street gatherings orlabor disputes situations.1. The Deputy Chief <strong>of</strong> Operations will coordinatethe gathering, analysis, and distribution <strong>of</strong>pertinent information, and will plan and supervisethe administration <strong>of</strong> refresher training regardingthis subject.2. Shift supervisors will ensure that complaints areinvestigated promptly, documented completely,and reported as required. Shift supervisors willalso ensure that deterrent patrols are conductedin an effort to prevent/deter major civildisorder/civil disturbance.46.11.4 MANAGING THE IMPACTA. Street gatherings and labor disputes sometimes havethe potential to affect a number <strong>of</strong> <strong>City</strong> departments.In such cases it is imperative that on-duty policesupervisors notify the appropriate personnel fromother potentially affected <strong>City</strong> departments so that theimpact can be properly managed.1. When a street gathering or labor dispute occursthat could potentially affect other <strong>City</strong> or localdepartments, a shift supervisor will notify theappropriate District Lieutenant, the Deputy Chief<strong>of</strong> Operations, and the Chief <strong>of</strong> Police as soon aspossible.2. The Chief <strong>of</strong> Police will notify the <strong>City</strong> Manager.When appropriate, the <strong>City</strong> Manager willcoordinate information and/or resources withother department heads.3. The shift supervisor will alert the appropriatelocal police agencies when a street gatheringand/or labor dispute has the potential to involve aneighboring jurisdiction.4. If a street gathering involves University <strong>of</strong> Illinoisstudents, the shift commander shall ensure thatthe emergency dean is notified withoutunnecessary delay.5. Some street gatherings involve political or socialprotest. As in labor disputes, <strong>of</strong>ficers shall notgive the appearance <strong>of</strong> taking sides. Protestswill be monitored using only the amount <strong>of</strong>resources necessary for safety. All relevantstatutes and ordinances will be enforceduniformly and without bias. Guidelines formanaging these events include:a. Supervisors should monitor such events assoon as they become aware <strong>of</strong> the event.b. Supervisors should attempt to meet withleaders <strong>of</strong> the protest before or at thebeginning <strong>of</strong> an event to establish groundrules.c. Handbills may be distributed in the street topassengers in stopped vehicles in the laneclosest to the sidewalk. If traffic is impededor hindered by such action, the violator shallPage 2 <strong>of</strong> 3


e ordered to move. The violator may becited if he or she does not move.d. Picketing is not prohibited on publicsidewalks in non-residential areas.46.11.5 VIDEO RECORDINGA. When citizens choose to exercise their FirstAmendment rights (assembly, petition, or speech),others with competing interests <strong>of</strong>ten choose to do soas well. Police response to incidents involving FirstAmendment situations should not be unnecessarilyprohibitive, but there are occasions when the policereasonably need to record unlawful conduct duringstreet gatherings. There are also occasions whenpolice <strong>of</strong>ficers need to record confrontations withcitizens in order to refute potential allegations <strong>of</strong>police misconduct. Therefore, it is the policy <strong>of</strong> the<strong>Champaign</strong> Police Department that video recorderswill be used only:1. To record unlawful conduct.2. To record persons who have committed unlawfulacts for purposes <strong>of</strong> future identification.3. To record police conduct.B. Video recording and camera equipment in thepossession <strong>of</strong> police employees at street gatheringsand/or labor disputes shall be kept out <strong>of</strong> public viewuntil such time the equipment is actually used. Suchequipment will not be used to record lawful conducton the basis that unlawful conduct may occur.C. Video recordings and photographs stemming fromstreet gatherings and/or labor disputes will be enteredinto evidence. The video records and photographswill be destroyed when there is no reasonable basisfor retaining them for evidentiary purposes.ISSUING AUTHORITYR.T.

Visible patrol and consistency <strong>of</strong> effort willserve to promote voluntary compliance with traffic lawsand regulations.A. The Department’s Selective Traffic EnforcementProgram activities shall be based upon review <strong>of</strong>traffic crash data, review <strong>of</strong> data collected through thedeployment <strong>of</strong> radar trailers, <strong>of</strong>ficer observation,citizen concerns and complaints, and traffic volume.The deployment <strong>of</strong> personnel shall be directedtowards addressing violations at times when illegaldriving behavior is prevalent.1. The most appropriate traffic law enforcementmethod for modifying collision-causing behavioris to address the most common violationscontributing to traffic collisions.2. The Selective Traffic Enforcement Programcoordinator shall have primary responsibility forthe review <strong>of</strong> traffic data, to include:a. Compilation and review <strong>of</strong> traffic crash data.b. Compilation and review <strong>of</strong> trafficenforcement data.c. Comparison <strong>of</strong> collision data andenforcement data.d. Selection <strong>of</strong> appropriate traffic enforcementmeasures.e. Annual evaluation <strong>of</strong> the outcomes <strong>of</strong> theSelective Traffic Enforcement Program.f. Review and revision <strong>of</strong> selective trafficenforcement objectives.B. The Deputy Chief <strong>of</strong> Operations has overallresponsibility for the Department’s traffic enforcementfunctions. On an annual basis, the Deputy Chief <strong>of</strong>Operations or his designee shall prepare aPage 1 <strong>of</strong> 9


documented evaluation <strong>of</strong> the Department’s SelectiveTraffic Enforcement Program. This evaluation will:1. Examine the effectiveness <strong>of</strong> the Selective TrafficEnforcement Program.2. Compare Selective Traffic Enforcement Programefforts and results against established goals andobjectives.61.1.2 UNIFORM ENFORCEMENT <strong>PROCEDURE</strong>SA. A primary objective <strong>of</strong> traffic enforcement is to reducetraffic crashes and injuries, and to facilitate the safeand expeditious flow <strong>of</strong> vehicular and pedestriantraffic through the public’s voluntary compliance withtraffic regulations. The <strong>Champaign</strong> PoliceDepartment seeks to achieve this objective through acombination <strong>of</strong> education and enforcement.Enforcement actions include:1. Custodial Arrest – An <strong>of</strong>ficer may effect acustodial arrest <strong>of</strong> any person committing aserious <strong>of</strong>fense, such as driving under theinfluence (DUI), fleeing and eluding, recklessdriving, etc., when taking the <strong>of</strong>fender intocustody is warranted and best serves the safety<strong>of</strong> the community.2. Citation – A citation shall be issued to a violatorwhen the <strong>of</strong>ficer believes that a written warningwould be ineffective in gaining the futurecompliance <strong>of</strong> the violator.3. Warnings – A written warning shall be issued toa violator when the <strong>of</strong>fense is minor and the<strong>of</strong>ficer believes that the warning will result infuture voluntary compliance.B. When multiple hazardous violations are committed bythe same person, the <strong>of</strong>ficer should consider eachviolation separately when deciding what enforcementaction should be taken. Enforcement measures shallbe taken for the purpose <strong>of</strong> promoting the safe andefficient movement <strong>of</strong> traffic, not for the purpose <strong>of</strong>generating revenue. Multiple citations shall all havethe same court date.61.1.3 SPECIAL TRAFFIC VIOLATION PROCESSINGA. This policy establishes procedures for processingtraffic law violations committed by the following:1. Non-residents - Officers shall follow theprocedures as set forth in 625 ILCS 5/6-306.4.When a traffic violation is committed by amotorist from a member State <strong>of</strong> the non-residentviolator compact and the person is going toreceive a citation, the rules <strong>of</strong> the compact apply.Residents <strong>of</strong> a non-compact state will be allowedto post a cash bond as set forth in the SupremeCourt practice rules. A resident <strong>of</strong> a noncompactstate who is unable to post bond will bebrought before a judge only if all other bondingoptions have been exhausted.2. Juvenile Violators - Juvenile traffic <strong>of</strong>fenders aregenerally subject to the same requirements asadult traffic <strong>of</strong>fenders. If, however, a custodialarrest is made on a juvenile traffic <strong>of</strong>fender, thecustody procedures set forth in Policy 44.2,Juvenile Operations, must be followed.3. State Legislators - Pursuant to 725 ILCS 5/107-7(b), “Senators and representatives shall, in allcases, except treason, felony, or breach <strong>of</strong> thepeace, be privileged from arrest during thesession <strong>of</strong> the General Assembly, and in going toand from the same.” Additionally, members <strong>of</strong>Congress may not be detained for the issuance<strong>of</strong> a citation while in transit to or from theCongress <strong>of</strong> the United States.4. United States Legislators – Members <strong>of</strong> U.S.Congress may not be arrested or detained whilein transit to or from the Congress <strong>of</strong> the UnitedStates.5. Diplomatic Immunity - Diplomatic and consularimmunity are granted by the U.S. governmentunder the Diplomatic Relations Act, U.S.C. 254and the Vienna Convention on ConsularRelations. Diplomats, consular <strong>of</strong>ficials, theirfamilies, and staff enjoy varying levels <strong>of</strong>immunity from arrest and prosecution. Immunityhas many levels. For example, “Official ActsImmunity” <strong>of</strong> consular <strong>of</strong>ficials must be assertedin court as an affirmative defense. All foreignmission members and dependents areaccountable for traffic violations. Stopping aforeign mission member or dependent andissuing a citation does not constitute an arrest ordetention and is always permitted (however thesubject may not be compelled to sign thecitation).a. Officers shall comply with 625 ILCS 5/16-108, when a violator displays a driver’slicense issued by the U.S. Department <strong>of</strong>State or otherwise claims immunity underTitle 22, Chapter 6 <strong>of</strong> the U.S. Code. The<strong>of</strong>ficer shall:1) As soon as practicable, contact the U.S.Department <strong>of</strong> State <strong>of</strong>fice in order toverify the driver’s status and immunity.(Notify supervisor <strong>of</strong> findings.)2) Record all relevant information from anydriver’s license or I.D. card.3) Within five working days after the date<strong>of</strong> the stop, forward to the IllinoisSecretary <strong>of</strong> State a copy <strong>of</strong> thecitation(s) issued to the violator (and thetraffic crash report if the person wasinvolved in a collision). If a citation wasnot issued, then a written report <strong>of</strong> theincident will be forwarded.4) In serious cases, such as a DUI orpersonal injury crash, telephonenotification <strong>of</strong> the U.S. Department <strong>of</strong>State is required as soon as practicable.Field sobriety investigation will followDepartment guidelines. If the <strong>of</strong>ficerjudges the individual too impaired todrive safely, the <strong>of</strong>ficer shall not permitthe individual to continue to drive (evenPage 2 <strong>of</strong> 9


in the case <strong>of</strong> diplomatic agents whohave the highest level <strong>of</strong> immunity). Asupervisor shall be notified whendiplomatic personnel are stopped for aserious violation. Immune diplomaticpersonnel may be taken to the policestation where further arrangements maybe made to assure his safety and that <strong>of</strong>the community. If the personnel are notimmune from arrest, according to theState Department, they are subject toarrest. Any search <strong>of</strong> their person orproperty, including vehicle (andincluding towing), must conform to theirlevel <strong>of</strong> inviolability, according to theState Department.b. Consular Notification and Access. SeePolicy 1.1.6. Military Personnel - Pursuant to 725 ILCS 5/107-7(d), military members shall be privileged fromarrest during their attendance at musters andelections and in going to and returning fromsame, except for treason, felony or breach <strong>of</strong>peace arrests.61.1.4 INFORMATION PROVIDED TO VIOLATORSA.

Whether or not the court appearance is required.4. The procedure for entering a plea and/or payinga fine by mail through the <strong>of</strong>fice <strong>of</strong> the Clerk <strong>of</strong>the Circuit Court, if appearance is not mandatory.5. Options for posting bond.61.1.5 ENFORCEMENT OF VIOLATIONSA. A primary goal <strong>of</strong> traffic enforcement is voluntarycompliance with traffic laws. The provisions <strong>of</strong> thispolicy are intended to encourage good judgment indeciding what enforcement action is appropriate,based upon the situation, prior training andexperience, and common sense.1. Driving Under the Influence (DUI) - Officers mustbe alert for signs <strong>of</strong> alcohol or drug impairmentduring all motorist contacts. Upon establishingthat probable cause exists for a violation <strong>of</strong> DUIlaws, an <strong>of</strong>ficer will effect a custodial arrest <strong>of</strong> theviolator.2. Driving Under Suspension (DUS), Driving UnderRevocation (DUR), No Valid Driver’s License -When an <strong>of</strong>ficer makes a custodial arrest <strong>of</strong> aperson for driving with no valid driver’s license(never obtained or expired over one year), drivingunder suspension (DUS), or driving underrevocation (DUR), the <strong>of</strong>ficer may transport theviolator to the <strong>Champaign</strong> County Jail. Theviolator’s vehicle and property shall be handledaccording to Department procedures. Theviolator should be issued the appropriatecitation(s) and processed according to arrestprocedures.a. Officers shall use discretion whendetermining whether or not to make acustodial arrest <strong>of</strong> a driver who has no validlicense or whose driver’s license issuspended or revoked. In determiningwhether or not to make a custodial arrest,<strong>of</strong>ficers should consider the following:1) Whether or not the driver has beenproperly identified.2) Whether or not the driver has valid pro<strong>of</strong><strong>of</strong> insurance for the vehicle.3) Driving history.b. When an <strong>of</strong>ficer elects not to make acustodial arrest <strong>of</strong> a driver, the <strong>of</strong>ficer mustverify that the driver understands that hecannot drive.1) Nothing prohibits the <strong>of</strong>ficer from towingthe vehicle pursuant to Departmentpolicy.2) When leaving a vehicle on privateproperty, an <strong>of</strong>ficer should confirm thatthe property owner has grantedpermission to leave the vehicle at thatlocation.3. Speed violations - There is no affirmativedefense for speeding or for driving faster thanconditions permit. However, strict adherence topolicy is not a substitute for common sense. Indetermining whether or not a citation should beissued, an <strong>of</strong>ficer should exercise sounddiscretion and consider factors such as trafficvolume, weather conditions, and location.a. Speeding violations may be issued basedupon radar display or pacing.4. Other hazardous violations - Officers areexpected to take action upon observinghazardous violations. Sound judgment should beused to determine what type <strong>of</strong> enforcementaction results. A violator may be issued either awarning or a citation based upon the specificcircumstances <strong>of</strong> the violation.5. Off-road vehicle enforcement.a. Off-road recreational vehicles includesnowmobiles, dirt bikes, mini-bikes, and allterrainvehicles. Officers will takeappropriate enforcement action for observedor reported violations. Any <strong>of</strong>f-roadrecreational vehicle driven upon publicroadways is subject to the traffic laws asspecified in the Illinois Compiled StatutesChapter 625, including:Page 3 <strong>of</strong> 9


1) Section 5/11-1426, Operation <strong>of</strong> All-Terrain Vehicles and Off-HighwayMotorcycles on Streets, Roads andHighways.2) Section 5/11-1427, Illegal Driving orOperation.3) Sections 40/1 through 40/11,Snowmobile Registration and SafetyAct.6. Equipment violations - Equipment violations willbe dealt with on an individual basis, and an<strong>of</strong>ficer should use sound judgment in determiningwhat type <strong>of</strong> enforcement action is appropriatefor a given situation.7. Public carrier/commercial vehicle violations -Public carrier and commercial vehicle violationswill be treated in the same manner as violationscommitted by the general public.8. Non-hazardous violations – The enforcement <strong>of</strong>non-hazardous violations will be governed by<strong>of</strong>ficer discretion. Voluntary compliance is thegoal <strong>of</strong> enforcement action for minor violations.9. Multiple violations - When multiple hazardousviolations are committed by the same person, the<strong>of</strong>ficer should consider each violation separatelywhen deciding what enforcement action shouldbe taken.10. Newly enacted laws – In lieu <strong>of</strong> special orders tothe contrary, <strong>of</strong>ficers <strong>of</strong> this department will,whenever practical, issue written warnings forminor violations for a minimum <strong>of</strong> fourteen (14)days after such law becomes effective.11. Violations resulting in traffic crashes.a. Officers are generally expected to takeenforcement action whenever their trafficcrash investigation produces probable causeto believe that a violation <strong>of</strong> statute orordinance has occurred.b. An <strong>of</strong>ficer’s specific enforcement actionsarising from traffic crashes will be consistentwith the nature <strong>of</strong> the alleged violation andwith the Department’s written directivesconcerning traffic law enforcement. In takingany enforcement action, the <strong>of</strong>ficer mustestablish all elements <strong>of</strong> the violation.Elements that the <strong>of</strong>ficer has not personallywitnessed must be established throughinvestigation. The investigation may include:1) Statements made to the <strong>of</strong>ficer by thealleged violator.2) Statements <strong>of</strong> witnesses.3) Crash scene measurements.4) Physical evidence.c. In traffic crashes involving life-threateninginjuries or fatalities, the investigating <strong>of</strong>ficeror his supervisor may contact the State’sAttorney’s <strong>of</strong>fice before taking anyenforcement action.12. Pedestrian and bicycle enforcement – Theenforcement <strong>of</strong> traffic laws pertaining to bicyclesand pedestrians requires broad discretion on thepart <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>ficers. Consequently, prior to anysubstantial increase in enforcement effortsdirected towards pedestrian or bicycle violations,awareness campaigns will be conducted by theDepartment.a. Pedestrian and bicycle enforcement shall bebased on <strong>of</strong>ficer discretion with a focus onviolations in areas where pedestrian andbicycle crashes have been frequent orsevere.61.1.6 TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT PRACTICESA. Marked patrol units shall generally be used for trafficenforcement. When authorized by a supervisor,unmarked units may be used in instances whennecessary to accomplish a specific purpose.1. Officers shall drive police vehicles in accordancewith existing laws and in such a manner as todemonstrate exemplary driving behavior.2. In situations or areas where stationaryobservation (either visible or concealed) isnecessary to maximize the effectiveness <strong>of</strong> aselective enforcement effort, <strong>of</strong>ficers shall park ina location and in such a manner that traffic flowis not impeded.3. Roadside safety checks may be used whenauthorized by the Chief <strong>of</strong> Police. A designatedsupervisor shall be responsible for plandevelopment and coordination <strong>of</strong> approvedroadside safety checks.a. A supervisor must be assigned to the safetycheck.b. The safety check must be adequatelystaffed.c. Personnel assigned shall wear high-visibilityreflective vests.d. The public must have prior notice <strong>of</strong> plannedsafety checks.61.1.7 STOPPING VIOLATORSA. The following guidelines are recommended to providefor <strong>of</strong>ficer safety when conducting traffic stops:1. The location <strong>of</strong> the stop should be chosencarefully. Every effort should be made to effectthe traffic stop in a location that provides amplespace and sufficient lighting. When possible,avoid making stops at hills, curves, andintersections.2. If possible, the location <strong>of</strong> the stop, vehicleregistration information, and vehicle descriptionshall be provided to METCAD prior to makingcontact with the driver.Page 4 <strong>of</strong> 9


3. Activate the emergency lights to signal theviolator to stop. The horn or siren may be used ifnecessary. Officers shall also activate theMobile Video Recording System in accordancewith policy.4. The patrol vehicle should be positioned behindthe violator’s vehicle and <strong>of</strong>fset to the left.5. Officers should observe the occupants <strong>of</strong> thestopped vehicle briefly before exiting the patrolvehicle.6. While approaching the violator’s vehicle,driver/passenger movement should be monitoredand the <strong>of</strong>ficer should remain alert for actionsthat do not appear to be normal.7. While speaking to the violator, the <strong>of</strong>ficer shouldstand as close to the vehicle as possible and tothe rear <strong>of</strong> the driver. If traffic is heavy or tacticsdictate, the <strong>of</strong>ficer may stand on the passengerside.8. The violator’s driver’s license status and warrantstatus should be checked.9. While completing the citation, warning, or FIcard, the <strong>of</strong>ficer should remain alert to theactions <strong>of</strong> the driver and any passengers.10. When returning to the violator’s vehicle to issuethe citation or written warning, the <strong>of</strong>ficer shouldcontinue to remain alert for any suspiciousmovements or actions inside the vehicle.11. Allow the violator to depart and re-enter trafficbefore leaving.12. If at any time during a stop an <strong>of</strong>ficer’sperception <strong>of</strong> risk escalates, the <strong>of</strong>ficer mayabandon the above procedures, retreat to aposition <strong>of</strong> cover, and move to high-risk trafficstop procedures.B. High-Risk Traffic Stops.1. High risk traffic stops include stops <strong>of</strong> potentialfelony suspects and/or investigative stops wherethe <strong>of</strong>ficer believes that a threat to his safetyexists.2. All <strong>of</strong>ficers arriving at the scene <strong>of</strong> a high-riskstop shall activate their Mobile Video RecordingSystems.3. High-risk stops will typically involve two or moresquad cars, and <strong>of</strong>ficers are discouraged fromconducting high-risk stops when they are actingalone as one-<strong>of</strong>ficer units. An <strong>of</strong>ficer conductinga high-risk stop alone is at a distinctdisadvantage.a. Officers shall notify METCAD <strong>of</strong> their intentto effect a high-risk traffic stop. METCADwill clear the air and dedicate the channel forthe stop.b. Make radio contact with backup units andcommunicate the following:1) Location and direction <strong>of</strong> travel.2) Description <strong>of</strong> suspect vehicle.3) Description <strong>of</strong> suspects.4) High-risk factors.c. When a backup unit is in position to provideassistance, communicate to both the backupunit and METCAD the intended location forthe high-risk stop.e. As the suspect vehicle comes to a stop, careshould be exercised in positioning squads.Squads should be positioned in locationswhere both safety and tactical advantage ismaximized.f. Spotlights and high beam headlights shouldbe utilized to illuminate the suspect vehicleand protect the <strong>of</strong>ficers. When feasible,backup units positioned to the rear <strong>of</strong> theprimary unit should turn <strong>of</strong>f their headlightsand spotlights to avoid the “silhouetting” <strong>of</strong>primary unit <strong>of</strong>ficers.g. Once primary and backup <strong>of</strong>ficers are inpositions <strong>of</strong> cover, suspects should becontrolled through the use <strong>of</strong> verbalcommands. One <strong>of</strong>ficer should take control<strong>of</strong> the stop and give the commands.h. If justified, weapons may be drawn andpointed at the occupants <strong>of</strong> the suspectvehicle.i. Verbal commands should be given to thedriver <strong>of</strong> the suspect vehicle. Order thedriver to shut <strong>of</strong>f the vehicle ignition, openthe driver’s door, and place the vehicle keyson the ground or on the ro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> the vehicle.The driver should be ordered to put bothhands out <strong>of</strong> the door into view, and to openthe driver’s side door from the outside withhis left hand. Order the driver to exit thevehicle and face you with his hands andarms up. Order the driver to turn completelyaround with his hands up. Visually inspectthe suspect for any weapons on his person.Give commands to the driver to step awayfrom the vehicle and to a safe location.Choose a location based upon vehiclepositioning and other environmental factorsso that backup <strong>of</strong>ficers have a clear view <strong>of</strong>the suspects. Order the driver to assume aprone position.j. Continue clearing the vehicle <strong>of</strong> occupants inthe same manner, one at a time, orderingthem out from the front seat first and thenfrom the rear seat. It is preferable that allpassengers exit from the passenger side <strong>of</strong>the suspect vehicle.Page 5 <strong>of</strong> 9


k. All occupants <strong>of</strong> the vehicle are subject tosearch and temporary restraint, dependingon the circumstances <strong>of</strong> the stop.l. When all visible occupants have beenremoved, the primary <strong>of</strong>ficer should exercisegreat care in inspecting and clearing thesuspect vehicle. Backup <strong>of</strong>ficers will providecover and continue to observe thesuspect(s). Officers should remaincognizant <strong>of</strong> the potential for crossfirebetween <strong>of</strong>ficers.m. When the suspect vehicle has been clearedand the scene is secured, the primary <strong>of</strong>ficershould advise METCAD <strong>of</strong> the status <strong>of</strong> thestop. If normal radio traffic can be resumed,METCAD should be so advised.n. At a minimum, all occupants <strong>of</strong> the vehicleshall be identified and the contactsdocumented on field interview cards.o. If a weapon is pointed at the driver or anoccupant <strong>of</strong> the vehicle, then a report shallbe completed.61.1.8 OFFICER/VIOLATOR CONTACTA. Enforcement action shall be carried out in a fair,impartial, and courteous manner. An <strong>of</strong>ficer’s actionsshould at all times demonstrate a positive andpr<strong>of</strong>essional demeanor.B. Unless exigent circumstances exist, <strong>of</strong>ficers shouldfollow the procedures outlined below during trafficstops:1. Introduction – Greet the violator, identify yourself,and, if the stop is being recorded, advise themotorist <strong>of</strong> that fact.2. Reason for the Stop – As soon as possibleinform the motorist <strong>of</strong> the reason for the stop.3. Explanatory Request – Ask the motorist if thereis any justifiable reason for the violation.4. Request the motorist’s driver’s license and pro<strong>of</strong><strong>of</strong> insurance.5. Inform the motorist <strong>of</strong> any actions you desire forsafety reasons (i.e. remain in the car).6. Take Action – Review all relevant informationand take the most appropriate course <strong>of</strong> actionbased upon your investigation (DL status,warrant status, etc.). Write the citation orwarning. To the best <strong>of</strong> your ability, completeyour actions promptly.7. Re-approach, Close, and Return – Re-approachthe motorist, inform them as to what action youhave taken, and advise them <strong>of</strong> anyresponsibilities they have (i.e. mandatory courtdate). Do not debate your actions. Explain themotorist’s options for future actions (i.e. pay thefine or appear in court), and close theconversation with a concern for their safety, suchas “Thank you for your cooperation. Please drivesafely.” If appropriate, <strong>of</strong>fer to assist the motoristback into traffic.61.1.9 SPEED MEASURING DEVICESA. Radar and laser equipment used by the Departmentmeets all standards established by the NationalHighway Traffic Safety Administration.B. In selecting a location from which to operate radar orlaser speed detection, <strong>of</strong>ficers should position theirpatrol vehicles so as not to impede traffic.C. Officers must ensure that the radar or laser unit beingused is functioning properly by testing it both beforeand after any enforcement contacts. This shall bedone through the following procedures:1. Check the internal circuitry through the use <strong>of</strong> theinternal test function.2. Check the readout lights through the use <strong>of</strong> thelight test function.3. External checks:a. For radar, check the calibration <strong>of</strong> the unitexternally through the use <strong>of</strong> a tuning fork.b. For laser, follow the manufacturer’sinstruction for external calibration.61.1.10 DUI ENFORCEMENTA. Drivers impaired by alcohol or other drugs representa serious threat to the safety <strong>of</strong> others. Therefore,the Department considers DUI enforcement one <strong>of</strong> itshighest priorities. The overall objective is to removeimpaired drivers from the road and reduce the loss <strong>of</strong>life and property from DUI-related accidents.B. All <strong>of</strong>ficers receive training in DUI enforcement. Thistraining includes:1. Identifying DUI motorists by characteristicbehavior.2. Identifying the physiological and behavioral signs<strong>of</strong> intoxication.3. The proper administration <strong>of</strong> field sobriety tests.4. Completion <strong>of</strong> required DUI reports, complaintsand citations.5. Specialized training in the Horizontal GazeNystagmun test.C. Officers who are trained as breath analyzer operatorsreceive specialized training in the use <strong>of</strong> breathanalysis instruments. These <strong>of</strong>ficers are trained andcertified in accordance with specifications establishedby the Illinois Department <strong>of</strong> State Police.Page 6 <strong>of</strong> 9


D. The Department is responsible for several programsdesigned to increase the drug and alcohol awareness<strong>of</strong> community groups <strong>of</strong> all ages.E. Roadside Safety Checks may be conducted as a part<strong>of</strong> DUI enforcement efforts.61.1.11 DUI ARRESTEE HANDLINGA. Officers must be alert for signs <strong>of</strong> impairment duringall contacts with motorists. When an <strong>of</strong>ficerdetermines that probable cause exists to make anarrest for violating DUI laws, a custodial arrest shallbe made. After a custodial arrest is made, the<strong>of</strong>fender shall be transported to the <strong>Champaign</strong>County Jail. If the arrestee requires immediatemedical attention or hospitalization, the <strong>of</strong>ficer will soadvise his supervisor and arrange for transport <strong>of</strong> the<strong>of</strong>fender to the hospital.B. An arrestee’s vehicle may be released to anunimpaired person at the scene with the consent <strong>of</strong>the arrestee; otherwise, it will be towed according topolicy. Under no circumstances shall the arrestee beallowed to operate the vehicle after being arrested.C. After charging an arrestee with DUI, the arresting<strong>of</strong>ficer shall read the arrestee the “Warning toMotorist”. The “Warning to Motorist” form shall befilled out completely. After giving the warning tomotorist, the <strong>of</strong>ficer shall request that the arrestee tosubmit to a test (or tests) to determine the arrestee’sblood alcohol concentration (BAC).D. If the arrestee consents, the arresting <strong>of</strong>ficer shallmake arrangements for the appropriate tests. If thearrestee refuses, no additional requests need bemade.E. The arresting <strong>of</strong>ficer has the discretion to determinewhether a subject will be required to submit to abreath, blood, and/or urine sample for testing. DUItesting shall be conducted as follows:1. Breath tests shall only be administered by breathanalyzer operators licensed by the IllinoisDepartment <strong>of</strong> State Police.a. If the arrestee submits to the test and theresults show a level <strong>of</strong> 0.30 or higher, the<strong>of</strong>ficer shall immediately notify a supervisorand, if necessary, arrange for transport to ahospital.b. If the arrestee submits to the test and theresults show a level <strong>of</strong> 0.08 or higher, thearrestee shall be charged with a secondcount <strong>of</strong> DUI for violation <strong>of</strong> Illinois VehicleCode, Illinois Compiled Statutes 625 ILCS5/11-501(a)(1).2. For an arrestee with a test result <strong>of</strong> 0.08 orhigher, the <strong>of</strong>ficer shall complete the “LawEnforcement Sworn Report,” which includes the“Notice <strong>of</strong> Summary Suspension”.3. If the arrestee’s test result is below 0.08 the<strong>of</strong>ficer may request blood and/or urine samples.If the arrestee consents to a blood test or a bloodand urine test, he will be taken to a local hospital.If the arresting <strong>of</strong>ficer requests a urine test onlyand the arrestee consents, the urine may becollected at the <strong>Champaign</strong> County Jail asoutlined by this policy.4. A blood sample may be requested if the breathtest is inconclusive or unavailable, intoxicationfrom other than alcohol is suspected, if someinjury, possible injury, deformity, or medicalcondition prevents the arrestee from taking thebreath test, or at the discretion <strong>of</strong> the arresting<strong>of</strong>ficer.a. Before being asked to submit to a blood test,the individual will be read the appropriate“Warning to Motorist”.b. The arrestee shall be taken to a localhospital, where the blood sample will betaken.c. With the consent <strong>of</strong> the arrestee, the bloodsample will be drawn by a licensedphysician, a registered nurse, or otherperson authorized by the Illinois StatePolice.

It is flameretardant and provides team members withsome protection against the liquids and/orflammable elements to which they may beexposed.f. All <strong>of</strong>ficers shall wear clear goggles with thebalaklava. In order to preserve the clarity <strong>of</strong>the lenses, each team member must eithercarefully handle the goggles or in some wayprotect the lenses. Any goggles whichimpair the vision <strong>of</strong> the team member, eitherdue to excessive scratches or habitualfogging, must be replaced or repaired. Aninhibitive spray, such as RAIN-X, will bemaintained in the SWAT box. All gogglesand chemical mask lenses will be treated toensure satisfactory visibility.g. The ball cap was designed as uniformheadwear which specifically identifies theteam member as a SWAT <strong>of</strong>ficer. The fullcolor ball cap is worn with the raid uniformon details such as protests, school details,containment details, etc. The subdued ballcap provides the same, but is worn with thefatigue uniform either during training orduring circumstances (outside <strong>of</strong> actualmovement exercises requiring fullcamouflage) where the fatigue uniform isworn.h. Only two undershirts will appear beneathany SWAT uniform. A black turtleneck willbe worn during the cold months and a blackT-shirt during warm months. Although thechange from turtlenecks to t-shirts willgenerally be dictated by changes in weatheror the nature <strong>of</strong> a detail, the entire team mayelect to wear one <strong>of</strong> the other. This decisionwill be made by a Team Leader. (Theuniform changes, to include headgear, willbe made part <strong>of</strong> message from the initialcall-out page).i. All identification worn on the uniform shirtwill be sewn on so as to preventunnecessary down time and replacementcost. Any uniform replacement will bedirected through a Team Leader. Thisensures that uniforms are obtained throughthe same distributor and are thereforeconsistent with the uniforms presently wornby the team. Any irreparable damage to araid uniform will be reported to a TeamLeader and documented in a “DamagedApparel” report.j. The Raid Uniform represents the Team’sdistinction and should be worn with pride. Inachieving this, each team member shall:i. Ensure that their uniform shirt is tuckedin.ii.iii.Ensure that their pant legs are tuckedinto their boots.Brush shine their boots (at a minimumthey must be completely black).iv. Ensure that their pockets are buttoned.v. Ensure that their bootlaces are tuckedinto their boots.vi. Wear serviceable headgear.2. Camouflage Fatigues Uniform.a.

. Although the maintenance standards for thecamouflage fatigues are less rigid thanthose for the Raid Uniform, a clean andpressed camouflage uniform will bemaintained at all times.c. Only two forms <strong>of</strong> identification are to beworn on the camouflage uniform – two (2)subdued shoulder patches and a subduedbadge.

Only black T-shirts and blackturtlenecks may be worn with thisuniform.ii.iii.Uniform buttons will be buttoned.The pant legs will be tucked into blackboots.iv. The boots will be laced.v. Bootlaces will be tucked into the bootsto prevent snagging on objects duringmovement.vi. The floppy hat will be worn as a form <strong>of</strong>camouflage as it breaks up the outline<strong>of</strong> the face and head. During movementexercises, it will be accompanied by aface net. (Face nets can be donnedand removed in moments. In hostagescenarios where team memberspenetrate a business or residenceundetected, the face net and floppy hatcan be removed eliminatingobstructions to the eyes and ears <strong>of</strong>team members).3. Web Gear and Equipment.a. In emphasizing the principle that training ispreparation for life and death threateningsituations, team members may be requiredto use any/every available resource, withoutthe benefit <strong>of</strong> additional preparation. Teammembers must therefore attend trainingsessions and call-outs with all <strong>of</strong> the gearwhich may be used in such a situation.b. Although it is not necessary for teammembers to wear special gear such as aprotective mask, it is important that criticalequipment be immediately available to eachteam member. In addition, the more familiara team member is with every piece <strong>of</strong>equipment they may use during an actualincident, the greater the likelihood <strong>of</strong>success during his participation in thatmission.Page 4 <strong>of</strong> 11c. Tactical operations are ultimately defined bylife and death “Use <strong>of</strong> Force” issues. Thevery nature <strong>of</strong> raids and barricaded subjectspresent similar and/or greater “Use <strong>of</strong> Force”situations than those an <strong>of</strong>ficer will typicallyface on the street. SWAT team membersmust avail themselves <strong>of</strong> a least onealternative to deadly force.d. If CAPSTUN is preferred, the foam type willbe carried. Given the normal proximity <strong>of</strong>other team members within the confines <strong>of</strong> abusiness or residence, chemical spray couldjeopardize the mission or the safety <strong>of</strong> fellow<strong>of</strong>ficers.e. If a team member elects to carry an ASP, hemust be pr<strong>of</strong>icient with it so as to notendanger the limbs <strong>of</strong> fellow team members.The ASP provides immediate resolution tothe threat <strong>of</strong> canine attack and the necessityto break/clear glass from residence andvehicle windows.f. During training, scenarios will require teammembers to demonstrate proper use <strong>of</strong>these alternative tools.g. Each team member must wear a web nylonduty belt and must ensure that all <strong>of</strong> theirequipment is securely attached to the belt.Personal preferences will dictate the holsterworn by each team member. HOWEVER, ifit is determined that a team member’sholster <strong>of</strong> preference inhibits hismovement or jeopardizes the missionthrough unsatisfactory retention <strong>of</strong> thefirearm, then the team member will berequired to purchase a new holster at theteam member’s expense.h. Each team member must have at least oneset <strong>of</strong> handcuffs and the handcuffs must besecured inside <strong>of</strong> a closed black nylon case.This ensures that the handcuffs will notcatch on anything during movement, and italso inhibits sound and reflection <strong>of</strong> light.i. Each team member will have on his web belttwo (2) handgun magazines.4. Weapon/Radio/Handcuffs.a. Each team member will maintain hisassigned SWAT handgun to the higheststandards at all times. Tactical operationsrequire a team member’s completeconfidence in their weapon. Therefore, theweapons shall always be clean, lightly oiled,fully functional, free <strong>of</strong> rust, and firedregularly. Likewise, magazines will beclean, rust free, lightly soiled, and fullyfunctional.b. During each training exercise and upon callout,each team member shall be equippedwith a fully functional radio, complete withearpiece (headset must also be available).

It is important that only one person be in completecommand <strong>of</strong> each situation and also that only oneperson be in direct command or supervision <strong>of</strong> eachemployee.

EachAFID contains an alpha-numeric identifier unique to thecartridge used.Deadly Force: The Illinois Compiled Statues define deadlyforce as force which is likely to cause death or greatbodily harm; the firing <strong>of</strong> a firearm in the direction <strong>of</strong> theperson to be arrested, even though no intent exists to killor inflict great bodily harm; and the firing <strong>of</strong> a firearm at avehicle in which the person to be arrested is riding.However, per 720 ILCS 5/7-8(b), a peace <strong>of</strong>ficer’sdischarge <strong>of</strong> a firearm using ammunition designed todisable or control an individual without creating thelikelihood <strong>of</strong> death or great bodily harm shall not beconsidered force likely to cause death or great bodilyharm.Drive-Stun: The process <strong>of</strong> using a Conducted EnergyWeapon for pain compliance. A drive stun isadministered by activating the Conducted Energy Weaponand placing it in contact with an individual’s body.Non-Deadly Force: Force which is not likely to causedeath or great bodily harm. Non-deadly force optionsinclude but are not limited to hands-on defensive tactics,impact tools, Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) spray, canineapprehension, and less lethal impact munitions.Reasonable Belief: The United States Supreme Court inGraham v Connor 490 U.S. 386 (1989) stated “thereasonableness <strong>of</strong> a particular use <strong>of</strong> force must bejudged from the perspective <strong>of</strong> a reasonable <strong>of</strong>ficer onscene, rather than the 20/20 vision <strong>of</strong> hindsight”. Thetotality <strong>of</strong> information known to the <strong>of</strong>ficer at the time <strong>of</strong>action, not what is learned thereafter, is the basis uponwhich such police use <strong>of</strong> force actions shall be reviewed.Factors that will typically be reviewed in determiningreasonableness will include the seriousness <strong>of</strong> the alleged<strong>of</strong>fense, whether or not the subject posed an immediatethreat to the <strong>of</strong>ficer or another, and whether or not thesubject was actively resisting the <strong>of</strong>ficer.Great Bodily Harm: Serious physical injury that creates asubstantial risk <strong>of</strong> death, causes serious permanentdisfigurement, or results in long term loss or impairment <strong>of</strong>the function <strong>of</strong> any bodily member or organ.Forcible Felonies: Under the Illinois Compiled Statutes,the following <strong>of</strong>fenses are considered forcible felonies:Treason; First Degree Murder; Second Degree Murder;Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault <strong>of</strong> a Child; AggravatedCriminal Sexual Assault; Criminal Sexual Assault;Robbery; Burglary; Residential Burglary; Arson;Aggravated Arson; Kidnapping; Aggravated Kidnapping;Aggravated Battery resulting in great bodily harm orpermanent disability or disfigurement, and; any otherfelony which involves the use or threat <strong>of</strong> physical force orviolence against any individual.<strong>POLICY</strong>:A. It is the policy <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Champaign</strong> Police Departmentto accomplish its law enforcement mission asefficiently and effectively as possible.1. The mission <strong>of</strong> the police department is topreserve peace and order within the <strong>City</strong>.2. The values <strong>of</strong> the department are Respect andService. The department respects human lifeand recognizes that the use <strong>of</strong> force must beused only in support <strong>of</strong> its mission and values.3. The use <strong>of</strong> force must be in conformance withboth the law and this policy.4. Officers must de-escalate their level <strong>of</strong> force asthe suspect/<strong>of</strong>fender de-escalates their level <strong>of</strong>resistance or threat, or as circumstancesotherwise warrant.B. The use <strong>of</strong> force, whether in defense <strong>of</strong> the <strong>of</strong>ficer orothers or to accomplish arrest, <strong>of</strong>ten occurs incircumstances that are tense, uncertain, and rapidlyevolving. Such situations involve the need fordecisions that may affect the safety <strong>of</strong> the public, the<strong>of</strong>ficers involved, and suspects/<strong>of</strong>fenders. As such,use <strong>of</strong> force decisions shall be based upon thePage 1 <strong>of</strong> 5


following safety priorities as applied to those personsat risk:1. Victims and other persons.2. Police Officers.3. Suspects / Offenders.C. When feasible, the safety <strong>of</strong> a criminal <strong>of</strong>fender orsuspect will be considered and alternatives may beutilized. However, the safety <strong>of</strong> a criminal <strong>of</strong>fender orsuspect will not take precedence over the safety <strong>of</strong> avictim, other person, and/or a police <strong>of</strong>ficer.1.3.1 FORCE NECESSARY TO ACCOMPLISHLAWFUL OBJECTIVESA. State law and the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Champaign</strong> have entrustedits police <strong>of</strong>ficers with the unique powers andauthority designated to assist them in performing theirduties. Officers, under certain circumstances, havethe right to apply force, including lethal force, onanother human being. Such application will be basedupon the reasonable belief that such force iswarranted and justified based upon current laws andthe policies <strong>of</strong> this Department.B. Use <strong>of</strong> Force Principles.1. An <strong>of</strong>ficer may use force in the performance <strong>of</strong>his duties under the following circumstances:a. To prevent or terminate the commission <strong>of</strong>an <strong>of</strong>fense.b. In self defense or the defense <strong>of</strong> another.c. To effect the arrest <strong>of</strong> an <strong>of</strong>fender, includingthose resisting arrest or attempting to fleefrom arrest or custody.d. To prevent a person from injuringthemselves.2. The use <strong>of</strong> force continuum, in order <strong>of</strong>escalation, is as follows:a. Verbal Persuasion.b. Non-Deadly Force.c. Deadly Force.3. Verbal Persuasion as a means <strong>of</strong> effectingcustody.a. The practice <strong>of</strong> courtesy and dialogue mayencourage understanding and cooperationon the part <strong>of</strong> the public and those who areto be arrested.b. Verbal commands which result incompliance are the desired method <strong>of</strong>gaining cooperation from the public, takingan <strong>of</strong>fender to be arrested into custody, anddefusing potentially violent situations.However, recognizing that not all personswill comply with lawful verbal commands andsubmit to arrest and/or cease aggressive orviolent actions, the use <strong>of</strong> force by policemay be necessary to effect an arrest and toprotect the <strong>of</strong>ficer or others during the arrestprocess.i. 720 ILCS 5 / 7-5, Peace Officer Use <strong>of</strong>Force in Making Arrest, sets out thefollowing; (a) A peace <strong>of</strong>ficer, or anyperson whom he has summoned ordirected to assist him, need not retreator desist from efforts to make a lawfularrest because <strong>of</strong> resistance orthreatened resistance to the arrest. The<strong>of</strong>ficer is justified in the use <strong>of</strong> any forcewhich he reasonably believes to benecessary to effect the arrest and <strong>of</strong> anyforce which he reasonably believes tobe necessary to defend himself oranother from bodily harm while makingthe arrest. However, he is justified inusing force likely to cause death orgreat bodily harm only as permittedunder Section 1.3.2.4. It is not intended that any suspect or <strong>of</strong>fendershould ever be allowed to be the first to exerciseforce, thus allowing them to gain an advantage ina physical confrontation. Nothing in this policyshould be interpreted to mean that an <strong>of</strong>ficer isrequired to resort to a lesser level <strong>of</strong> force todefend against a threat <strong>of</strong> violence that placesthe <strong>of</strong>ficer or others at greater risk or to engagein prolonged physical confrontation beforeresorting to a use <strong>of</strong> force that will more quicklyand safely bring the arrestee under physicalcontrol.1.3.2 USE OF DEADLY FORCEA. Officers may use lethal force against another humanbeing when the <strong>of</strong>ficer, or another person, is inimminent and otherwise unavoidable danger <strong>of</strong> deathor great bodily harm from the individual(s) againstwhom the <strong>of</strong>ficer is applying or is about to applydeadly force.B. Illinois Compiled Statutes (720 ILCS 5/7-5) define theparameters <strong>of</strong> a police <strong>of</strong>ficer’s use <strong>of</strong> force in makingan arrest, including the use <strong>of</strong> deadly force, asfollows:1. A peace <strong>of</strong>ficer is justified in using deadly forceonly when:a. He reasonably believes that such force isnecessary to prevent death or great bodilyharm to himself or another; or,b. Such force is necessary to prevent the arrestfrom being defeated by resistance orescape; and,i. The person to be arrested hascommitted or has attempted to commit aforcible felony which involves theinfliction or threatened infliction <strong>of</strong> greatbodily harm; or,ii.Is attempting to escape by use <strong>of</strong> adeadly weapon; or,Page 2 <strong>of</strong> 5


iii. Otherwise indicates that he willendanger human life or inflict greatbodily harm unless arrested withoutdelay.2. Use <strong>of</strong> deadly force against fleeing felons:a.
