The city will indemnify part-time police officers with public liability protection equal to that provided to full-time police officers. Additionally, the Illinois Tort Immunity Act provides immunity to public employees involved in the execution of law enforcement functions.

Although they are sworn police officers, their service is subject to the same employment rules as other part-time city employees. The maximum numbers of hours worked by part time officers is restricted to less than 1,000 hours per officer within a calendar year.
Applicants must be available to work all shifts, weekends and holidays.
