Our Department, concerned with
safety of its officers, continually
~lops programs geared to improving
1ing and techniques.

So, for anyone who

the program, don t be disappointed to
see your name listed to attend. It's a
fantastic package that holds everyone's

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.

Sergeant Anthony Concialdi serve as
the program's supervisors. 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."

The action takes place inside the
police gym at 3Sth Street and Normal

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

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.

the officer to do exactly what you
wo uld do on the street".
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

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.

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

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 I-John Smith, age
16. committed an act of sexual conduct ,
Le~ fondled the breasts of his 12 year
ol sister. John can be charged with
Criminal Sexual Abuse, a Class A misemeanor.
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.
Additional information concerning the new Sex Offense Statutes can be
obcrined by contacting the Training Division law Unit, 744-83 14-15; PAX 9280-81.

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.
