Bill > SB1760

This bill amends the Illinois Police Training Act by requiring the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board to develop a specialized training program for unpaid volunteer police chaplains. Police chaplains are typically religious or spiritual advisors who provide emotional and spiritual support to law enforcement personnel during challenging situations such as critical incidents, traumatic events, or personal crises. By creating a standardized training program, the bill aims to ensure that these volunteers are properly prepared to serve in a supportive role within law enforcement agencies, helping to address the mental and emotional well-being of police officers while providing a valuable community service at no cost to taxpayers.
