-IE OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE CHICAGO POLICE DEPARTMENT ;urvival training • IS fine tuned Our Department, concerned with safety of its officers, continually ~lops programs geared to improving 1ing and techniques. Some prograins, while successful, considered "a pain_in the neck" by icipating officers. Others look brilt on paper but are a complete bust n put into practice, and still others >mplish their purpose but quickly )me obsolete, according to instrucHut every once in a while a pro ~ comes along that not only cones to grow and improve, but helps officers' lives, and-get this- is rtaining. One such program is the ~nt " In-Service Operational TrainPrqgram" , a street survival course . a new direction. If the comments of officers taking 1 course are any indication, the pro-- 1 was a long time coming. Here's t a few officers had to say about r in-service experience: Tactical Officer Joseph Frugoli h. District: 'The program makes you ik. It's a great refresher course for mg officers and vets alike. It's ful because the officers themselves out scenes based on actual police idents.u Officer Leon Ro_gers, 3rd District, ·year veteran: UI have never heard a any- 1 word ~bout the prog-ram f'rom fy :"ho has gone through it. The prom is very realistic. It helps you keep your t?es when you're back on the eet. I JUSt wish they had this l am ago." Tactical Officer Gerald Ganey, Ith District : "In the old days, I was fended during training when we were town films involving California police .cidents. I had the feeling, 'who are Realirtic reenactments of Department incidents are major part of "In-Service Training Program". Officer Thomas Daley, 8th District, left, attempts to rescue "victim" !Instructor Thomas Baroni) from chokehold of "offender" (Instructor John Kessel) as partner Offici!r Jeffrey Booker, 15th District, assists. they to tell us how to do it7' With this program, we use real CHICAGO Police Department incidents. The program is even worth the ride fro.m the orth Side." Sergeant Robert Angone, Public Transportation . in a Jetter to a law enforcement magazine, said: "For the ~Irst time all the garbage has been elimmated and the courses that are being presented are for all of our benefit. So, for anyone who not attended the program, don t be disappointed to see your name listed to attend. It's a fantastic package that holds everyone's attention!" At the end of each program the instructors pass out prepared forms and encourage the officers to anonymously list both their positive and negative opinions of the course. The positive comments are plentiful. The two overriding negative responses1 "The program isn't long enough! " and ' 'What took you gµys so long?" The program all came about when a group of Training Division instructors met to develop a program with a direction away fr~m traditional survival seminars. The result is a fresh program combining both aspects of "experience" and "theoretic analysis". The course is worth three college credits for participants.

If a suburban police officer comes forward with an incident, their department must fust give approval.

Detective Donald Clark and Officers Edward Shannon, James Grundy, Thomas Baroni, William Town, William Wright and John Kessel handle the officer survival phase . Youth Officer William Nelligan and Officers Edward Richardson and Richard Esposito are in charge of the CPR-first aid phase. Aspects such as physical training, weapon retention and neck restraint are handled by Officers James Marsh, Ronald Frost and Peter Wenger. And Sergeant Vince Russo and Officers Richard Stake and Scott Bagnell deal with law and First Amendment rights. Occasionally, the program instructors invite members of specialized units, such as the Special Activities Section, to address the class as part of the program. "The core of the program is officer survival," said Lafl eur. "The program is excellent because we are not locked into a certain structure. If we come up with a new option, a new method, a new piece of information for our students, it will be in the class tomorrow. Officers James Gru ndy, from left, John Kessel and Wil liam Wright, in-servic structors, prepare for next scenario by loading yellow-barrelled modified s• weapons. "The program assists officers in sharpening their techniques. You experience new techniques and grow by that experience. How often do you have the opportunity to make a mistake on the street and not be hurt by it in the least? This is a chance to make that mistak~ and learn by it." Someone once said that stat are like a bikini, they reveal a lo1 not the important things. The prog1 instructors agree . "Stats and theories are impo but many times they are impractic the real world," said Shannon.

Great )lving Department officers. "By using these incidents, our ience is provided with a realism that :ist in most classrooms," said Shanl. "This realism closely approximates feelings, attitudes, problems and ential dangers that existed for their ow officer." At the end of the program the in1ctors ask that the contents of the es be kept secret by the participating ice rs. "We are proud that our request : been respected by every officer Vlilo ; taken the course," said G 1ne of our major fears was tha the urse would crumble around the edges \a.l\.\111 1V1 i>CUVl.J !1lt;\,,Cl.UL1UU;). 1 llC entire area in which the role-playing place is blocked off. Nobody with .-eapon is allowed inside." The action takes place inside the police gym at 3Sth Street and Normal A ;enue. Garages and houses are painted on the gym walls to simulate a street scene. A makeshift tavern, complete with fire hydrant outside and neon lights, is in one comer. There is ample room to even conduct " mock chase scene. You then volunteer, along with another officer who serves as your partner, for the fust exercise. You are issued a radio and assigned a squad car. Two other officers volunteer and serve as a back-up unit. Every officer in the class gets a chance to participate in the role-playing. "We would like to have partners attend the course together for obvious reasons," said Concialdi. "But this is impractical for manpower purposes. Often only one officer is selected to attend from each district. However, how often are you working without your regular partner? Sickness, days off, furlough. You can learn things working with someone new." The only rules you are told to fellow are state law, city ordinance and Department policy. In other words, the same rules you follow on the street. Grundy stressed the point that "we tell d defeat itself. Bu this hasn hapned thanks to the concern of om [icers.

With the instructors playing the role of offenders and citizens , the action takes place . It may be a dark stairway or on the "street". The scene may conclude without incident or all hell may break loose. "Shots" may be fired. In any case, you're right in the middle of it. One officer said, "at first I thought it wasn't going to be effective because it is only make-believe. But when I was involved and saw how realistic it was, I had the same feelings as if it was a real situation with shots fired ." The action stops when the instructor yells "STOP PLAY!" . The instructor then asks the class, "would there have been anything you would have done different ly?" . And the discussion begins. "The actions of officers in the actual incide nts are never criticized by the controller," said Shannon. "Comments may be made by the class but these are not aimed at an individual. Minor errors by the role-playing officers may be ment ioned by the controller, but these are only as a suggestio n of a better o pdon. Should an officer fall 'victim' to an 'offender' in the roleplaying, little reinforcement of the mistake is necessary . The officer realizes his error and has learned from it." Through discussion, participation and observation , you learn or remember survival ti ps such as "always have an· escape ro ute" and "don't stand directly in fro nt of a door". The scene is then replayed but this time with the back-up unit playing the part of the first officers on the scene. They can't just go through the motions because the instructors may vary the action slightly. There may be an added offender hiding nearby, or the offenders may take a different route in their escape attempt . "The class then views a videotape reenactment of the actual incident on which the scene they had just played had been based ," said Baroni. "The film opens with the actual officer involved coming on scree n and introducing himself. He then mentions information such as how many years he's been on the job, what district he was in , the time, the watch , etc." The videotape is shown in three segments. First , the incident is shown exactly the way it happened, complete "T"'L - - - • - •-- 1 _ il"L'! Discussion periods are important part of in-service train ing. Officer Thomas I gerald, 10th District, center, st resses point about street survival technique for fe participants. cer involved relives the incident. Secondly , the same tape is shown again only with a voiceover provided by the officer involved. He describes all his thoughts, feelings, and various options that were running through his mind at the time. The same tape is shown on«e more, complete with noises, but now there is a superimposed stopwatch at the bottom of the screen. "Time element is very important," said Lafleur. "It reinforces the idea that you are involved with split· second decisions. Officers involved in incidents will tell you the whole thing took place in three minutes . When they recreate it , they learn it was more like 30 seconds." Following a discussion of the tape, the class returns to the lot for yet another incident, followed again by a tape. The ptogram's nine videotaped incidents are used on a rotating basis with a class studying four of them. "We're proud that the tips officers learn in the co urse are often used before their class is even over," said Grundy . "One officer mentioned that during his turn in the acting.segment, he 'made sure every shot counted' be· cause he had just watched a film stressing that very point." Officers taking the course are amazed at the skill of the instructors. Many have mentioned that they should be nominated for Academy Awards. By adopt ing various accents and mannerisms, the instructors often become identified with a certain character. not only for their teaching ability also by pe rsonality," said Lafleur. must be a competent act or bee; many of the subtle points are prese1 during role·playing. "The instructors must also be to take abuse, both verbal and phys day in, day out. The action has sc times led to injury. One inst ructo1 quired seven stitches in the head takes a special person for the j. The designers of the proi didn't miss a trick. "We realized that it wasn' t e: ly a good idea to put officers thrc several stressful situations and t at the end of the day , return weapons and send them out on street," said Shannon. ''To reduce elevation of emotion the class ex ences, we occasionally end the day a special skit. "The role.playing is the same this time it involves the dumbest, incompetent group of offenders will ever meet. The scene is often c' and is a 'must·win' situation for class. It relieves the tensions and b the class back to eart h." Another aspect of the progr< the refresher co urse in CPR-first "Every officer taking the C( is recertified in administering C said LaFJeur.

The first aid class is highlighted the showing of a videotape preed by Doctor John Barrett, of Cook nty Hospital, a specialist in trauma. "The course offers techniques an ~er can use , without the use of spec•quipment, that may save the life of llow officer ," said La Fleur. "One of e lessons is the hardest to sell or h.

Future program plans include the :ling of a 22 by 24 foot apartment rior , complete with movable 8 foot s, for the role-playing aspect. The n would be constructed without a ng and stairways on the sides so ~lass could look down on the action. "Tactical officers are the Departt's main priority to attend the ·se," said Lafluer. "The more fre1tly you make street stops, the e beneficial this training will be for legal Affa Effective l July 1984, eig existing Sex Offense Statutes will be consolidated into one all emcompassing series of offenses under the "Bodily Harm" article of the Criminal Code. The new law provides a range of penalties to address the varying degrees of seriousness of the criminal sexual acts. In addition, the law considers the vulnerability of the victim and the actions and characteristics of the accused, which includes his or her age and whether or not force was used or bodily harm inflicted. Although the terms " Rape" and "Deviate Sexual Conduct" are no longer used, the law contains similar terms known as "Sexual Conduct and Sexual Penetration." A brief definition of Sexual Conduct is . .. the touching or fondling of the sex organs, anus or breast of the victim or accused, or any part of the body of a child under 13 years of age for sexual gratification ... Sexual penetration is any contact between the sex organ of one person and the sex organ, mouth or anus of another person, or any instrusion of any part of the body of one person or of any animal or object into the sex organ or anus of another person .. .Evidence of emission of semen is not required to "We want every Department offiprove sexual penetration. to take this course .

EXAMPLE 2-Mary Smith was grabbed from behind and taken into an alley where she was robbed and forced to commit an act of oral sex with John Jones. In addition to Robbery , Jones can be charged with Aggravated Criminal Sexual Assault , a Class X felony . The other two statutes, Crintinal Sexual Abuse (Class A misdemeanor) and Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse (Class 2 felony) basically replace what was prohibited by Contributing To The Sexual Delinquency Of A Child , and some sections of Indecent Liberties With A Child and Sexual Abuse Of A Child By A Family Member. The sexual act(s) prohibited by these two sections are the ones defined in Sexual Conduct, which is a broader definition than the acts previously prohibited. Certain factors can enhance the Oass A misdemeanor into a Class 2 felony, i.e., accused threatened victim with a weapon, caused great bodily harm, age of victim and accused .

EXAMPLE 2-ln the above example, if John was 17, he could be charged with Aggravated Criminal Sexual Abuse , a Class 2 felony. An additional point to remember is that effective I July 1984, the terms "Sexual intercourse" and " Deviate Sexual Conduct" as used in the present code will be replaced by the broader definitions of Sexual Penetration and Sexual Conduct.

Digitized by ChicagoCop.com 7 Your line on pension DISABILITY BENEFITS-You probably often wonder what would happen to you and your family if one day you find that , through illness or injury, you no longer can perform your duties. To eliminate these fears, the following have been provided by city ordinances and the disability provisions set forth by state statutes which govern the Police Pension Board : MEDICAL ROLL (NONDUTY RELATED INJURY OR ILLNESS)For many medical reasons, you may not be able to perform your duties and subsequently are placed on the medical rolls by the Chief Surgeon of the Department. You may receive yol!r full salary if you are unable to perform your duties, for a period not to exceed one year. If it is the medical judgment of the Chief Surgeon that your condition is such that it would prevent you from returning to your duties, disability benefits are then recommended . ORDINARY DISABILITY-According to the statutes, you are entitled to ordinary disability benefits if you become disabled from causes not connected with the performance of an act of police duty. The length of time during which you can receive this disability benefit depends upon the length of your service . To determine the length of ordinary disability benefits, you would divide your net active service by four; however, in no event could you receive more than five years of ordinary disability benefits, and not beyond age 63 . The time during which you received ordinary disability benefits _is added to your total service for annuity purposes. The amount of the ordinary disability benefits is SO percent of the salary you were receiving when placed on the medical rolls. This amount remains the same for the duration of your disability and the city will contribute your annuity deduction on a monthly basis. If your disability ceases at anytime before your benefits would expire, you shall return to active duty. Also for annuity purposes and the determination of your average monthly salary, if you are retiring from ordinary disability, the salaries used are those that you would have received had you been able to remain working. Ul:'nT/"AT DfUT nTT"l'V DP. LATED-When you are unable to perform your duties because of injuries received in the performance of an act of police duty, the city ordinance provides that your salary shall continue for a period not to exceed one year, or any part of a year, while you an: on the medical roll. If it is the medical judgment of the Chief Surgeon that your condition is such that it would prevent you from returning to your duties at the expiration of one year, disability benefits are then recommended. DUTY DISABILITY-According to the statutes, if you are disabled as a result of an injury received in the performance of an act of police duty, you are entitled to disability benefits during any period of such disability for which you do not have a right to receive salary, equal to 75 percent of your salary at the time disability is allowed (Ef tive date 1 July 1982). If you were duty disability and returned to ac1 employment at anytime for a period at least two years and are again abled from the same cause or cau you are entitled to 7 S percent of y salary at the time the disability allowed. If your disability resul from any physical defect or me1 disorder or any disease which exii at the time of your injury was sustaiI or if your disability is less than 50 cent of total disability for any servic a remunerative character, your duty ability benefit shall be 50 percen1 total disability for any service of a munerative character, your duty ability benefit shall be SO perc of your salary (Senate Bill 1126; ef tive date 1July1982) . The time during which you ceived duty disability benefits is ad to your total service for annuity poses.
