Code of Ordinances

If the inquiry, inves­ti­ga­tion or inter­ro­ga­tion of a law enforce­ment offi­cer results in the rec­om­men­da­tion of some action, such as trans­fer, sus­pen­sion, dis­missal, loss of pay, reas­sign­ment, or sim­i­lar action which would be con­sid­ered a puni­tive mea­sure, then, before tak­ing such action, the Employ­er shall fol­low the pro­ce­dures set forth in 50 ILCS 725/1–7 of the Illi­nois Com­piled Statutes.  The law enforce­ment offi­cer may be relieved of duty and shall receive all ordi­nary pay and ben­e­fits as he would have if he were not charged.  The offi­cer shall have the right to be rep­re­sent­ed at such inquiries, inves­ti­ga­tions and inter­ro­ga­tions by a Union representative.
