Under the direct supervision of the captain, the investigator shall perform investigations as assigned and prepare and file appropriate reports. In addition to the duties as investigator, the investigator shall perform the regular duties of a sworn officer. In the absence of a sergeant, the investigator will assume the duties of the sergeant. (Ord. 1209, 6-19-2000)
Every sworn officer shall appear as witness whenever necessary in a prosecution for a violation of any village ordinance or of any state or federal law. No such officer shall retain any witness fee for service as a witness in any action or suit to which the village is a party or in which his testimony is based on the performance of his duties as an officer of the police department. Any fees for such services shall be turned over to the chief of police who shall deposit them with the village clerk. (Ord. 982, 6-4-1990)
The chief of police is hereby authorized to request that any weapons seized during a criminal investigation, which weapons would otherwise be destroyed in accordance with applicable law, be turned over to the village police department to be used for training or operational purposes. The request should be made to the appropriate prosecuting attorney to permit said attorney to move the court for an appropriate order directing that the weapons be turned over to the village police department rather than destroyed. The determination as to which such weapons would be useful to the village police department shall be left to the sole discretion of the chief of police. (Ord. 1499, 8-3-2009)
