Bill Title: Amends the Department of Children and Family Services Powers Law. In provisions providing that the Department of Children and Family Services has the power to appoint persons to be members of a police and security force, provides that these powers may be exercised statewide (rather than exercised only in counties of more than 500,000 population). Creates the DCFS Child Protection Security Force within the Department of Children and Family Services. Requires the Department, in conjunction with the Illinois State Police, to establish criteria for the hiring of officers, education and training curricula, and protocols for engagement with child protection workers and families. Provides that the Department has the authority, with Illinois State Police oversight, to adopt and amend any rules necessary to implement the provisions of the amendatory Act. Requires the Security Force to work in coordination with the Department's Division of Child Protection under the direction of the Deputy Director of the Division of Child Protection. Provides that all child protection workers, after an initial investigation, may request Security Force engagement when there is the possibility of non-cooperation or violence by the family, relatives of the family, friends, partners, neighbors, or any other persons who seek to disrupt the orderly review, removal, or other action deemed necessary for the protection of the child.
