CCIP Training and Interactions Working Group

Description

The CCIP Training & Interactions Working Group is tasked with strategic planning related to Task Force recommendations on "Training" and "Interactions with Parents when Children are Present":

  • The Illinois Law Enforcement Training & Standards Board (ILETSB) should prioritize trauma-informed practice training in curricula designed for all officers who receive their training
  • Training for law enforcement and corrections officers should include concrete scenarios around arrest and visitation and officers who demonstrate successful engagement with the materials should be prioritized for duty related to children and families
  • Include young people in the development of such scenarios and training modules
  • Training must be done on a continual basis with support from leadership
  • Explore co-responder models, including those that leverage trained community stakeholders
  • Law enforcement policies and procedures for arrests in the presence of children should be publicly available and transparent
  • These policies and procedures should be consistent across the state
  • Law enforcement should receive extensive training to minimize trauma to parents and children during all interactions
