II. ACCEPTANCE OF MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 22, 1981
III. FIRE AND POLICE COMMISSION RULES AND REGULATIONS
The Fire and Police Commission has been working for a
number of months on revisions and updating of their
Fire and Police Commission Rules and Regulations. While
the Commissioners are free to establish rules and regula-
tions consistent with State statute and local ordinance,
we bring these matters to your attention because of the
need to elaborate and expand upon the State statutes
through our home rule authority. The Commission and
the Police and Fire Chiefs are recommending that we
adopt an ordinance under home rule authority so that
the Fire and Police Commission may provide in their
Rules and Regulations standards for probation periods,
minimum education standards, preference points for
Police Assistants, work experience standards for
promotions, probationary periods for promotions, demotion
procedures, pre -testing procedures, the elimination of
seniority towards promotion, and the establishment of
Assessment Centers for promotions. These measures have
been adopted by other communities and we recommend"their
institution in order to broaden the powers of the
Commission and increase the efficiency of the Fire
and Police Departments.

IV. POLICE PURSUIT PROCEDURES
At a previous meeting of the Mayor and Board of Trustees
the Vill-age Manager's Office was requested to evaluate
our internal Rules and Regulations governing Police
pursuit and to bring these matters up for discussion at J october
a Committee of the Whole meeting. Chief Pavlock has
reviewed our current procedures and recommends the addition
of certain language to better define operational situations
and the limits of responsibility for Police Officers.

V. POLICE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Back in 1980, the Illinois Law Enforcement Commission
was considering the funding and development of two
computer-based Police management information systems.
There has been a long-standing need not only in our
metropolitan area but across the nation for rapid
access and exchange of criminal activity data. Various
attempts have been made, none of which have proven
overly successful, in terms of local field operations.
