Drug and Alcohol Testing Following an Officer Involved Shooting. Pursuant to the Illinois Police and Community Relation Improvement Act, drug and alcohol testing will be required (even in the absence of reasonable suspicion) and completed as soon as practical (but no later than the end of the officer’s shift) following an officer involved shooting incident that results in the death or injury of a person. Pursuant to the Act, an officer is considered “involved in” a shooting when the officer discharged a firearm thereby causing injury or death to a person or persons. If multiple officers discharge their firearms, and it is unclear whose bullet struck the person or persons, then all officers who discharged their firearms in the direction of the subject shall be required to submit to drug and alcohol testing. By contrast, the phrase “involved in” does not include officers who did not discharge their weapon, even if they were providing other forms of support and assistance during the incident. Nor does the term “involved in” include officers who discharged their weapons when it is undeniably clear their projectiles did not actually strike any person or persons. The parties agree any drug or alcohol test required pursuant to this policy shall be considered a compelled, non-voluntary drug or alcohol test under threat of disciplinary action. Such Officer Involved Testing shall only be done by urinalysis or breathalyzer. Blood testing will not occur for an Officer Involved Shooting required test under this section unless compelled by law. This does not limit the Employers right to obtain test results via other available legal processes. The samples, testing, and results shall only be used for internal administrative purposes, including disciplinary action when appropriate or as required by law. Except as necessary to enforce this policy or when required by law (e.g., subpoena or warrant). The Employer will not share any test samples or results of testing with any other person
