Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide. Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

and shall be primarily responsible for the security of the courthouse and its
courtrooms. The court security officers shall be under the sole control of
the sheriff of the county in which they are hired.

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

Sec. 3-6019.
Duties of sheriff; office quarters and
hours. Sheriffs shall serve and execute, within their respective
counties, and return all warrants, process, orders and judgments of
every description that may be legally directed or delivered to them.
A sheriff of a county with a population of less than 1,000,000 may employ
civilian personnel to serve process in civil matters. If an arrest warrant upon complaint under Section 107-9 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963, or a warrant of arrest due to failure to appear under Section 107-12 of the Code, originated from a law enforcement agency other than the county sheriff's office, then the county sheriff of a county with a population of more than 600,000 may require that law enforcement agency to store and maintain the warrant. That law enforcement agency is responsible for entering the warrant into the Illinois Law Enforcement Agencies Data System (LEADS) and the National Crime Information Center Database (NCIC). The county sheriff may require the originating law enforcement agency to arrange for transportation of the wanted person to the county jail. Originating agencies may contract with the county sheriff or another law enforcement agency to store, maintain, and provide transportation of the wanted person to the county jail. Any law enforcement agency or regional dispatch center may act as holder of the warrant for an originating agency that has no telecommunications equipment.
Each sheriff shall keep and maintain his or her office at the county seat of
the county for which he or she is the sheriff, and shall in counties having a
population of less than 500,000 keep his or her office open and attend to
the duties thereof from 8 o'clock in the forenoon to 5 o'clock in
the afternoon of each working day, excepting such days and half days as,
under any law, are or may be legal holidays, or half holidays.
The hours of opening and closing of the office of the
sheriff may be changed and otherwise fixed and determined by the county
board of such county. Such action taken by the county board
shall be by an appropriate resolution passed at a regular meeting.

The disobedience of any
sheriff to perform the command of any warrant, process, order or judgment
legally issued to him or her, shall be deemed a contempt of the court that
issued the same, and may be punished accordingly; and he or she shall be
liable to the party aggrieved for all damages occasioned thereby.
No sheriff shall be civilly liable for serving, as directed by the court, any
warrant,
order, process, or judgment that has been issued or affirmed by a court of the
State of Illinois and that is valid on its face, unless the service involved
willful or
wanton misconduct by the sheriff.

courthouse. Court services customarily performed by sheriffs shall be provided

completed the program. If the delinquent minor is not accepted for placement
in the county juvenile impact incarceration program or the delinquent minor
does not successfully complete the program, his or her term of commitment shall

|
The court and the Department of Probation and Court Services may also

act constituting a felony shall be for a period of 120 to 180 days as
determined by the Department of Probation and Court Services.
(g) A delinquent minor may be removed from the program for a violation
of the terms or conditions of the program or if he or she is for any
reason unable to participate. The Department of Probation and Court Services
shall promulgate rules governing conduct that could result in removal from the
program or in a determination that the delinquent minor has not successfully
completed the program. Delinquent minors shall have access to
these rules. The rules shall provide that the delinquent minor shall receive
notice and have the opportunity to appear before and address the
Department of Probation and Court Services or a person appointed by the
Department of Probation and Court Services for this purpose. A delinquent
minor may be transferred to any juvenile facilities prior to the hearing.
(h) If the Department of Probation and Court Services accepts the delinquent
