Official Journal

November 2017 Issue

From: Edward W. Hoes

Executive Director

The annual conference of the Illinois Police Association has come and gone again. This being an

election year, the following members have been elected to the Executive Board for the years

2018-2019.

Executive Director: Edward W. Hoes Riverside PD (Retired)

President; John Idleburg U.S. Treasury (Retired)

Vice President: Robert Nichols Galesburg PD

“ “ Fred Garza Cicero PD

“ “ Calvin Stearns Carbondale PD (Retired)

Sgt-at-Arms: Randy Benson Yates City PD

“ “ Joe Seychel Great Lakes PD

Auditors: Ken Thomason St. Elmo PD (Retired)

“ Robert Madura Schiller Park PD (Retired)

“ Larry Kearns Champaign PD (Retired)

Congratulations to all of the newly elected Executive Board Members. I’m looking forward in

working with these board members.

The first order of business for the board to deal with is that of membership, as membership is

down again. During the past two years, there has not been a membership report from the

membership chairman as to what he was doing to promote the membership throughout the State.

Everyone has to do their part but the Membership Chairman should be doing his best. The

Membership Committee is the most important committee we have, so whoever is appointed by

the President to Chair the committee, should be going out of his or her way in getting everyone

involved and signing up new members.

At this year’s conference it was voted on and passed to raise the dues for both Associate A & B

IPA Executive Director Edward W. Hoes Page 2

Volume 70, Issue 4

Memberships starting in 2019. New Associate A & B Memberships will be $35.00 and renewals

will be $30.00. (This goes into effect starting in 2019 and NOT 2018)

The law suit against the Sherwood Youth Camp is still on going. Attorney Jim Skinner, of

Galesburg, who is now representing us, is talking with the attorney of DZ Horses and is trying to

get the suit dismissed. I hope to have good news for everyone within the next several months but

I’m not going to bet on it. (After all, it’s only been five years since this -- -- has been going on.)

If anyone has any ideas or suggestions on how to bring in revenue, please feel free to contact me

at any time. The first and most important item is to increase membership. According to this year’s

Audit, membership is -15.4% compared to last year. Membership accessories, decals, magazine, is

-16.5%. IPA products, down -3.5% but on the good side, the solicitor income is +28.8% compared

to last year. Again I’m asking for every ones help in supporting the Association.

I can only do what I can do with what I have to work with. Everyone takes credit when things are

going well but when it doesn’t; the front office takes the blame. Where is the money going?

I want to thank President Chris Surdel for all of his hard work and dedication to the membership

during the past two years as your President. It was a pleasure working with Chris and wish him

the best. Thanks for your friendship.

In closing I want to thank everyone for your support in re-electing me again as your Executive

Director. I have done my best and will continue to work hard in maintaining the high standards of

the Illinois Police Association that want law enforcement officers to become members of the great

Association.

To all of our members and families, all law enforcement officers and first responders, have a

Happy Thanksgiving, a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Safe New Year.

Until next time, God Bless & Be Safe

Sincerely:

Edward W. Hoes

Executive Director


IPA President Christopher Surdel

Volume 70, Issue 4

Illinois Police Association Official Journal November 2017 From: Christopher Surdel

IPA President

It's hard to believe that this will be my last letter as President of the Illinois Police

Association. The two years as your President has flown by quickly. I can remember the

conference in 2015 like it was yesterday. I remember that my entire family was there to

support me during that weekend. Well time moves on, and John Idelburg is now your newly

elected President and I believe that he will do an excellent job.

First, I would like to thank all of the delegates who attended the Illinois Police Association's

Annual Conference in Gurnee Illinois. It was a small group, but we did accomplish some very

important things. We had two Vice Presidents and one Auditor seat to fill off the floor. The

Vice President's positions were selected and we had an election for Auditor. Welcome and

good luck to Fred and Calvin who are our newly elected 2nd & 1st Vice-Presidents and good

luck to the entire 2017 elected Board. Another item that the delegates voted on was to

increase the Associate A & B membership dues to equal the dues of the regular active

member. Dues for all members is now $35 for new members and $30 for renewals. I believe

that this new change was definitely needed and will start in 2019. Next step for the new

President is to select his Committee Chairman's and members.

Someone asked me "What did I accomplish as President? " I started a new Communication

and Technology Committee to try to increase communication to all members. I knew that we

have the information available online but rather than the members having to get the

information from our website; we send them the information directly when we receive it.

We need to "think outside the box" and keep up with the new and changing technology.

Again, thank you for your trust and support while I was the President and I would like to wish

you all farewell.

Christopher Surdel

President

Attorney’s Report: No report.

Legislative Report: Director Ed Hoes reported the following:

PENSION BILL; HB418; PASSED BOTH HOUSES

This bill in its original form stated that if a law enforcement officer retires and collecting

a police pension and you go to work for another municipal police department as either a

Chief or an Officer, you must stop collecting your pension while you are working in the

new job. This original bill was defeated for the past several years. This year new

language was added. The bill provides that if a police officer is receiving pension

payments and returns to active service with any municipality that has established a

downstate pension fund, the officer may continue to receive those pension payments but

must not participate in a second pension plan. Instead, he or she can participate in a

municipality’s defined contribution plan as the bill requires municipalities to establish a

defined contribution plan.

SB58: Passed: Police Shooting-Drug Test; Would provide that each law enforcement

agency adopt a written policy regarding drug testing following an officer involved

shooting and have the officer submit to an alcohol and drug test.

SB31: Passed: Law Enforcement-Immigration: This provides that a law enforcement

agency or official shall not detain or continue to detain any individual solely on the basis


Volume 70, Issue 4

of any immigration detainer or administrative warrant or otherwise comply with an

immigration detainer or administrative warrant after that individual becomes eligible

for release from custody. If also provides that a law enforcement agency or official shall

not (1) give any immigration agent access to any individual, (2) transfer any person into

an immigration agent’s custody, (3) permit immigration agents use of agency facilities or

equipment, including any agency electronic databases not available to the public for

investigative interviews or other investigative purpose in executing an immigration

enforcement operation or respond to immigration agent inquires any individual’s

incarceration status, release date or contact information except insofar as the agency

makes that information available to the public.

HB351: Crim CD-Sexual Assault: This would provide that the sentence for aggravated

criminal sexual assault, which does not otherwise provide for an enhanced penalty, is a

Class X felony for which 5 years shall be added to the term of imprisonment imposed by

the Court. It would also provide that the sentence of predatory criminal sexual assault of

a child, which does not otherwise provide for an enhanced penalty, is a Class X felony

with a minimum term of imprisonment of 11 years rather than 6 years.

HB270: Investigation of Police; This would create the Law Enforcement Sexual Assault

Investigation Act: This would provide that allegations of sexual assault by a police officer

while performing his or her duties shall immediately be reported to the police officer’s

supervisory or command personnel and an independent law enforcement agency.

HB309: Sex Offender Reg Loss Employment: Would provide that a registered sex offender

who loses his or her job must report in person to the law enforcement agency with which

he or she last registered his or her loss of employment within 3 days of that loss of

employment.

HB233: Crim ID Sealing Records; Would provide that records of conviction for any

non-violent offense or any criminal offense that did not result in bodily harm or death to

another person may be sealed 10 years after the termination of the petitioner’s last

sentence.

HB217: Crim CD Cyber Bulling:

HB1581: CD Corr-Veh Wheel Load Finds: This bill reduces the amounts that truck owners


Volume 70, Issue 4

would pay by 33%, likely resulting in a loss of up to $1 million for police training each

year.

There are a number of PENSION Cutting Bills that are in the General Assembly. SB16,

SB704, HB4027 and HB4045.

These bills have (2) options:

(1) Accepting a delay and reduction in his or her cost of living annual adjustment

when he or she retires or (2) agreeing that his or her pension benefit would be calculated

using only his or her current salary, excluding all future pay increases from calculation of

his or her benefit. No matter which choice an employee makes, he or she would lose tens

of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of his or her

retirement years.

The General Assembly acted in 2010 to significantly reduce the pension benefits of all

those hired after January 1, 2011 (Using option (2). The courts have consistently ruled

that only the benefits of current employees and retirees are constitutionally protected.

Benefit reductions-or even elimination, are legal for any employee not yet hired at the

time changes to the pension code is made. Contact your State Representatives and urge

them to vote NO on these bills or any other bills that cut pensions of public employees.

If there are any other bills that the members wish to Association to follow up on, please

contact Ed at the office and for more information on these bills and others, go to

www.ilga.gov.
