PEACE OFFICER ARREST INDEM

Summary
Amends the Illinois Municipal Code. Provides that when a police officer of a municipality with a population greater than 500,000 inhabitants requests aid or assistance from or provides aid or assistance to a police officer of another jurisdiction, the unit of local government on whose behalf the request is made shall hold harmless, indemnify, and defend the police officer against all claims, demands, liability, losses, and suits in law or equity made by a third party unless otherwise agreed. Provides that the unit of local government requesting assistance shall waive all claims against the police officer or his or her employer arising out of the aid or assistance that is provided, other than claims resulting from willful and wanton misconduct. Provides that the new provisions do not relieve any unit of local government from liability. Amends the Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963. Provides that a peace officer may conduct temporary questioning and make arrests in any jurisdiction within this State if the officer, while on duty as a peace officer, is requested by an appropriate State or local law enforcement official to render aid or assistance to the requesting law enforcement agency that is outside the officer's primary jurisdiction.
