Change Illinois Pension Code for Police Officers

This petition was published by Earl Filskov on Mar 25, 2009

We, the undersigned do hereby request that the Illinois General Assembly take the necessary steps to change the language of the Illinois Pension Code as it pertains to police officers injured "in the line of duty".

Our states police officers need to know that if they choose a career that requires them to put their lives on the line at all times, if they are injured on duty they will be properly cared for.

There can be no distinction between what a police officer does on a daily basis and what a normal citizen would do in certain situations. The mere fact that a person has chosen to be a police officer should set them apart from a normal citizen.
