Martin v. Board of Trustees of the Police Pension Fund of the Village of Shiloh

Plaintiff, a police detective, while riding as a front seat passenger of an unmarked squad car, was injured in auto accident when squad car was rear-ended at a stoplight. Board of Trustees of Police Pension Fund erred in denying Plaintiff's application for a line-of-duty disability pension, as Plaintiff's injuries occurred during his shift while performing duties in furtherance of his job as a detective, and he was engaged in a function unique to police officers.(CHAPMAN and CATES, concurring.)
