Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Pensions
Plaintiffs filed declaratory judgment action, and court properly entered declaration that defendants, as sworn telecommunicators (deputy sheriff dispatchers) , were not entitled to participate in SLEP (Sheriff's Law Enforcement Personnel pension plan) but were entitled to participate in IMRF (Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund). In order to exercise powers of a sheriff's deputy, Board's training requirements must be met. (BARBERIS and OVERSTREET, concurring.)
