M.A.P. CHAPLAIN’S CORNER
I’m a Rest Hypocrite By Rev. Tammy Roach
L
ast month, I preached a sermon titled, “A Time to Rest.” It was a sermon I had previously written and delivered, but had reworked for a new church and a new context. Pastors who visit other churches and do what’s called ‘pulpit supply’ can get by with that; it’s a beautiful thing when the Lord calls you to speak on a topic you’ve already covered. A lot has changed since I first wrote that sermon; my two kids (who were very active in sports and extracurricular activities) are now grown adults, we’ve moved from the suburbs to a rural community, and I no longer work in a church context, but instead focus my time and energy on serving our first responders through Cornerstone Retreat Center. Even though my responsibilities have changed, I feel busier now than ever. Or maybe I’m just getting older and don’t have the energy I once did. Either way, by the time I preached that message, I was exhausted and in need of rest. I realized that God called me to share this message about rest because I was in desperate need of it. Yup, God does that sometimes…very often, a message intended for the church is the very conviction we need to realize that the splinter in someone else’s eye is really the plank in our own. Guilty! At one point in the sermon, I was so convicted that I had to pause mid-sentence, so I wouldn’t break down in tears. It was frustrating and eye-opening. Here is the sentence, the invitation, that got me, “Come away with me, by yourself, to a quiet place, and get some rest.” I could hear the invitation from Jesus, but thought What? How? When? You’ve got to be kidding me; I have no time for that. “Come away with me…Tammy…by yourself, to a quiet place, and get some rest.” I walked into my therapist’s office the next day and boldly proclaimed, “I’m a hypocrite!” If I’m honest with myself, I recognized that I was just finishing up a very full spring season of obligations and travel, and the beginning of my season of rest was right around the corner, like that next day. But it did remind me of how important it is to carve out time to rest a little more regularly, so I’m not on the verge of tears (or irritability, or isolation) and can be my best self for those
I serve (the very life lesson that we teach to our peer supporters). Hmmmm…maybe there is something to that “practice what you preach” thing. Perhaps you too need some true rest, not the rest that happens when we plop in front of the T.V. zoning out, or the type where we lose ourselves in social media for an hour (or two). I’m talking about soul-refreshing rest…the kind that restores your balance and keeps you enjoying life. REST that is vital to your spiritual wellness, which is essential for your overall wellness and your ability to be resilient through chronic stress and critical incidents. REST, as spiritual practice. Rest, as a spiritual practice, is not merely a vacation or self-care in the modern sense of the word. It’s also not a conference away from work or a busy retreat full of speakers and planned activities. No, a spiritual rest is an intentional time of retreat where you “get away with Jesus (or whoever your Higher Power is), by yourself, to a quiet place, to get some rest.” Such a retreat calls us away from our normal schedules and environments to go to a quiet place without interruptions or distractions. No cell phones (or other devices), no children or grandchildren yelling for your attention, no significant others watching T.V. in the background, no laundry staring us in the face, or work demands begging to be done. We are to go to a place set apart where we can reflect and listen for God’s direction, convictions, and insight into our lives. Spiritual practices of rest are not easy for most of us, especially with devices at our fingertips breaking our boredom (before we are even bored). So, I want to encourage you to start small and slowly build healthy practices into your daily rhythms. Even 15 minutes a day, three days a week in silence and solitude would be a great start. Go for a walk by yourself, go sit on your front porch and listen to the birds (or the traffic for you city-folk), or cuddle up in your favorite chair and breathe. No music, no podcasts, no cell phones, no distractions. It might feel a bit alarming at first, but I guarantee the rewards will be worth it in the end. Rev. Tammy J. Roach

PRESIDENT’S POST - KEITH R. GEORGE
O
ccasionally, I receive questions from members about what they receive for their monthly dues. Since I’m limited on a word count for this article, I’ll stick to the highlights. Unlike many competitor unions, MAP provides each of our local chapters with a dedicated labor attorney, not a business agent or other representative. This is critical because your chapter attorney is with you from the very beginning of every negotiation, allowing them to develop an intricate knowledge and understanding of every aspect of your collective bargaining agreement. That knowledge becomes essential when discipline, grievances, or other actions arise under your agreement. Management always has a lawyer at the table, so should you. Unlike other unions, MAP regularly takes action to enforce the contractual obligations laid out in your contract to ensure management lives up to the agreement it signed. Beyond outmatching management’s legal resources, MAP also employs a statistical analyst who maintains a database tracking hundreds of current contracts. They utilize this software to provide comparable salaries and benefits during negotiations; and, if necessary, interest arbitration. MAP’s legal defense is becoming legendary within the industry. For the second time in as many years, MAP attorneys have represented our members in very difficult termination cases and won. Arbitrators reinstated our members with full benefits and full back pay. Numerous other members have had their discipline reduced or dropped altogether. MAP has a track record of winning complex arbitrations. MAP never shies away from court litigation. MAP is currently suing the Village of Arlington Heights to stop and repeal a village ordinance that directly violates new supervisor legislation and the Workers’ Rights Amendment. As you may recall, in November 2022, Illinois voters passed an amendment to the Illinois Constitution
(Article I, Section 25), which guarantees the following fundamental rights: Employees possess the right to organize and bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing. Workplace protections allow workers to negotiate employment terms to protect their economic welfare and workplace safety. Additionally, no state or local law can be passed that interferes with, negates, or diminishes these collective bargaining rights. The Arlington Heights lawsuit is still being litigated. The ordinance in question also violates the new supervisor law, which went into effect on July 1st of this year. In addition to a proven record of winning grievance and interest arbitrations, MAP fights for its members in court. Recently, MAP filed an Amicus Curiae (friend of the court) brief before the Illinois Supreme Court to protect your rights at arbitration. Earlier this year, MAP attorney Mark McQueary and I were invited as guests on WGN Radio’s “Workers’ Mic,” hosted by Ken Edwards and Ed Maher from the National Coalition of Labor. They were excited to discuss MAP’s willingness to file litigation regarding the Workers’ Rights Amendment. If you don’t regularly follow their program, consider tuning in to stay current on what’s happening in Illinois’ House of Labor. If a MAP member is involved in a critical incident, such as an officer-involved shooting, an in-custody death, or any other notable critical event, MAP sets the standard for the representation you should receive. Upon notification, MAP will immediately connect our members with one of our critical incident attorneys. That initial contact determines how many MAP attorneys are needed to properly protect all involved members. Our unique approach eliminates any conflict of interest between members. The principal member involved will most often get their own MAP attorney, while other members receive different MAP attorneys to ensure everyone gets the representation they’re entitled to.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY If you are involved in a critical incident or need to contact MAP for any emergency, call 630-905-0663.

Board of Directors Keith R. George President John Holiday Vice President John P. Ward Secretary Richard Tracy Treasurer If a member is criminally charged, MAP provides funding of up to $25,000 (depending on the severity of the charges) so the member can secure a criminal defense attorney of their choosing. If a member faces decertification, MAP provides funding to retain a representative to assist them in navigating the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board decertification process. MAP also maintains a full-time lobbyist in Springfield, who has been instrumental in getting legislation sponsored and passed in the Illinois Legislature. Most recently, an amendment to the Public Employee Disability Act (“PEDA”) ensures all public safety employees injured in the line of duty receive full salary continuation and uninterrupted benefits, including frozen employee health insurance premium rates for the duration of their time on PEDA. MAP has also secured PEDA benefits for all county correctional officers, regardless of whether their sheriff chooses to deputize them or not. MAP also passed legislation making it unlawful for police chiefs to fire an officer who was injured in the line of duty and applied for disability benefits under the pension code. When MAP sees a problem affecting our members, we draft and pass real legislation to fix it; and we have the legislative track record to prove it. Our members are also automatically enrolled in the National Coalition of Labor benefits package, at MAP’s own expense. At no additional cost, you receive $5,000 in life insurance, access to a credit union, discounted legal services, and more. Log into our website and click on the member benefits link to explore everything available to you. In closing, I wanted to highlight several of the benefits your dues provide. MAP will continue to protect your current benefits and services, and we’ll always be on the lookout for additional ways to strengthen your membership. Be safe!

MAP secures passage of Senate Bill 3076, extending critical disability protections By Mark McQueary, Director of Legal Affairs
F
or years, a troubling gap has existed in Illinois law. The Public Employee Disability Act (“PEDA” or “Act”), the statute that guarantees continued salary, benefits, and pension credit to certain public safety employees injured or sickened in the line of duty, simply did not reach every officer who wears the badge. Fulltime state correctional officers were covered. Full-time law enforcement officers and firefighters were covered. But part-time and full-time county correctional officers, and many other employees of county sheriff’s offices, were left to fend for themselves, often relying on basic workers’ compensation alone during the most vulnerable period of their careers. Compounding the problem, PEDA itself said nothing about what happens to an injured employee’s health insurance premium during the recovery period. In that silence, some employers required injured employees to pay the full premium, both the employer’s and the employee’s share, while they were out recovering from a duty-related injury. That practice was unconscionable, and it fell squarely on employees who had no statutory protection to invoke. MAP set out to correct these deficiencies and close the gap for our members. Today we are proud to report that our work is done.
MAP’s Role in Drafting and Advancing the Bill
MAP did not merely support Senate Bill 3076. MAP drafted its language, and carried it through both chambers of the General Assembly. Working hand in hand with the Coalition for Frontline Police Officers, MAP’s legal and legislative team met repeatedly with sponsors and negotiated the technical amendments that ultimately secured passage in the Senate on April 16, 2026, and in the House on May 21, 2026. The bill now awaits the Governor’s signature. This was not an easy lift. Amending a decades old statute to expand who qualifies as an “eligible employee” requires precision. MAP’s drafting team ensured the bill’s language would withstand scrutiny while accomplishing its core purpose: making certain that no officer who serves a county sheriff’s office, whether part-time or full-time, is left outside the Act’s protections. As well as,
securing affordable insurance rates for our members as they recover from their line-of-duty injury.
What SB3076 Actually Changes
For members who want the specifics, here is what the bill amends within the Public Employee Disability Act (5 ILCS 345/1 and 345/2):
Expanded eligibility. The definition of “eligible
employee” now expressly includes any part-time or fulltime county correctional officer, and any other full-time or part-time employee of a county sheriff. Previously, these officers and staff fell outside PEDA’s coverage entirely, for both the injury benefit and the illness benefit.
Guaranteed insurance premium protection.
SB3076 inserts entirely new statutory language into the Act. The employing public entity must now continue to provide the same health insurance benefits, on the same terms and at the same benefit level, that were in effect immediately before the injury, and the employee shall pay no greater premium contribution rate than that which the employee was paying before the injury. This protection extends to eligible dependents as well. Before this amendment, PEDA was silent on this point entirely, and it is this new language, not merely the expanded eligibility definition, that finally forecloses an employer from shifting its share of the premium onto an employee who is out recovering from a duty related injury. MAP will continue to monitor the bill through the Governor’s desk and will notify members upon its signing and effective date. In the meantime, members with questions about how SB3076 will apply to their department or bargaining unit are encouraged to contact their MAP attorney. We thank the Coalition for Frontline Police Officers for its partnership throughout this effort, and we thank the bill’s sponsors for protecting our members. This article is provided for informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. Members with specific questions about their rights under the Public Employee Disability Act should consult MAP’s legal counsel.

Another successful arbitration for MAP By Ray Garza, MAP Legal Counsel
T
he arbitrator sustained the Union’s grievance and held that the Village crossed the line by assigning Community Service of Officers (CSOs) to Harmony Square work that was really patrol-duty in civilian clothing. The Award says CSO assignments were outside Section 11.8 of the CBA, and that Harmony Square assignments must be made only to police patrol units.
What the Award did
The arbitrator found that Harmony Square was not a passive, administrative post but a public-safety assignment requiring police expertise, training, and patrol intervention. In plain English: if it looks like patrol, sounds like patrol, and smells like patrol, the Village cannot relabel it “observe and report” and call it a day. The Award also ordered the parties to meet and confer in good faith to create a written policy consistent with the decision.
Independent | Disciplined | Experienced
The Village’s clarification attempt
After the Award, the Village tried to get the arbitrator to “clarify” things, but that effort did not go anywhere. The arbitrator noted the request was untimely under the Illinois Uniform Arbitration Act because it was filed after the 20-day window, and he also pointed out that clarification would not be proper without both parties’ agreement. He then made clear the Award was already straightforward and needed no rescue mission.
Why the request failed
The arbitrator explained that the Award was not ambiguous: it already held that Harmony Square required patrol, not CSO coverage. He also remarked that the evidence showed the Village itself had concerns about keeping the park safe from criminal activity and property damage, which only reinforced the conclusion that sworn police—not CSOs—were needed. So the Village’s clarification request landed with a thud: too late, and asking for a substantive rewrite dressed up as a clarification. The Union won a clear arbitration victory on Harmony Square, where the arbitrator ruled that CSOs cannot be used for patrol-type duties and that assignments there must be made to police patrol units. When the Village later tried to clarify the Award, the arbitrator essentially responded that the decision was already crystal clear and the request was untimely besides—so no second bite at the apple.

Arbitrator Orders Full Reinstatement in Will County Sheriff Sniper Case By Mark McQueary, Director of Legal Affairs
A
fter nearly four years of investigations, a criminal grand jury proceeding, and a contentious arbitration, a Will County Sheriff’s Lieutenant has been fully vindicated. In a decision issued July 8, 2026, an arbitrator sustained the grievance filed by the Metropolitan Alliance of Police (“MAP”), ordering the Will County Sheriff’s Office to reinstate the Grievant with full back pay immediately. “We have always maintained this was an unexplained discharge,” said Keith George, President of MAP. “This decision confirms what we have said from day one, the Grievant did nothing wrong. He followed his training, he followed a direct order regarding his reports, and the equipment issued to him by his own department was not safe to use. The Sheriff’s Office tried to scapegoat a decorated lieutenant instead of confronting a dangerous equipment problem within its own agency.”
A Rifle That Should Never Have Been in the Field
The arbitrator’s award confirms testing performed by the Sheriff’s Office’s own retained expert found all seven SWAT sniper rifles examined, including the one carried by the Grievant, had trigger pull weights below the manufacturer’s specifications. Most strikingly, during that very testing, the sheriff department’s own expert experienced an unintended discharge of the Grievant’s rifle. As the arbitrator’s award notes, the expert reported the weapon fired unexpectedly during that test. That is direct, independent confirmation that this rifle could and did discharge without a deliberate trigger pull, under controlled laboratory conditions, by a trained firearms examiner who had no reason to cause it. Notably, none of the six other SWAT rifles tested were ever returned to service. “You cannot ask a sniper to trust his life and the lives of others to a weapon that even a professional testing it in a lab can’t keep from firing unexpectedly,” George said. “This was never a story about an officer’s failure. It was a story about an equipment failure that the department is only now being forced to confront.”
No Rule Violations Sustained
On the central allegation that the Grievant negligently discharged his firearm, the arbitrator found the Sheriff’s Office failed to meet its burden of proving any misconduct. Moreover, the award further noted concerns about the fairness of the underlying investigation, including that the outside investigator made statements indicating he had already reached a conclusion of guilt before the investigation was complete, undermining the presumption of innocence guaranteed to every citizen. Even more telling, the Arbitrator concluded,
“Due to the fact a mechanical malfunction cannot be ruled out, and the evidence is ambiguous at best, the Employer simply cannot carry its burden of proof. The failure of the investigation ranges from the rifle to proper testing of the ammunition involved.” In addition, the arbitrator rejected the Sheriff’s Office’s separate claim that the Grievant failed to file required postincident reports. The record demonstrated, and the parties stipulated, the Grievant was ordered by Undersheriff Brian Conser that he did not need to file those reports at that time, and that order was never rescinded. The arbitrator found the Grievant was entitled to rely on that standing directive from his chain of command.
A 15-Year Career of Distinction
The Grievant was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing when a Will County grand jury unanimously found no probable cause to charge him, resulting in a No Bill of Indictment. The Grievant’s impeccable record prior to this incident was marked by numerous awards and no related discipline. “The Grievant has spent his entire adult life protecting the people of Will County,” George said. “Today’s ruling means he gets his good name back.” MAP calls on the Will County Sheriff’s Office to comply promptly and fully with the arbitrator’s award, and to immediately correct the trigger mechanisms on all department sniper rifles to ensure no other deputy is ever placed in this position again.

MAP Scores Another Victory in Orland Park
By Mark McQueary, Director of Legal Affairs
T
he Metropolitan Alliance of Police (“MAP”) attained another significant victory for police supervisors’ rights before the Illinois Labor Relations Board. In Case No. S-CA-24-053, Orland Park Police Supervisors’ Association v. Village of Orland Park Police Department, the Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) issued a Recommended Decision and Order on June 26, 2026, finding the Village violated Sections 10(a)(4) and 10(a)(1) of the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act (“IPLRA” or “Act”) by refusing to provide relevant and necessary information to the Union prior to a pre-disciplinary meeting. This case arose when the Village notified Sergeant William Sanchez of a contemplated discharge and scheduled a pre-disciplinary meeting under Section 19.3 of the collective bargaining agreement. MAP’s counsel promptly requested the evidence, data, opinions, memos, and other information that had been or would be provided to the final decision-maker. The Village refused, asserting the contractual pre-disciplinary meeting provisions limited its obligations and no additional materials were required. The ALJ flatly rejected the Village’s position. He determined the requested information was relevant and necessary to enable the Union to fulfill its statutory duty to represent the member effectively; including preparing for the meeting, identifying exculpatory or mitigating evidence, challenging weaknesses in the investigation, and evaluating the contemplated discipline. The decision emphasized the Union’s right to such information is rooted in the duty to bargain in good faith and is not waived by the language of Section 19.3 or past practices. The ALJ also found the Village’s motion to defer the matter to arbitration untimely. As a remedy, the Village is ordered to provide the requested information, cease and desist from refusing relevant and necessary information requests in the future, and post a notice to employees acknowledging the violation. While the decision does not rescind the underlying termination (which MAP won at arbitration; Sergeant Sanchez was fully exonerated and restored to his rank with full backpay), it vindicates the Union’s fundamental right to meaningful pre-disciplinary representation. This ruling strengthens protections for all MAPrepresented members across Illinois. It confirms
employers cannot withhold critical information when contemplating serious discipline, ensuring unions can provide informed, effective advocacy at the predisciplinary stage rather than being forced to respond in the dark. Special recognition goes to Staff Legal Counsel Raymond G. Garza, who skillfully represented the Orland Park Police Supervisors’ Association throughout this matter. Ray’s strategic advocacy and thorough preparation secured this important precedent for police unions statewide. MAP remains committed to defending our members’ contractual and statutory rights. Victories like this one reinforce the value of strong union representation in every disciplinary proceeding.

Joint Tenancy, Taxes, and Worse What is Joint Tenancy?
Joint tenancy is the most common property title with more than one owner. It is a legal title with the “right of survivorship,” meaning that when one joint tenant dies, the surviving titleholders assume ownership. It sounds convenient. However, in every form of joint tenancy, there are many risks. It is effortless to add someone’s name to a title, whether it be real estate by quitclaim deed or by adding someone to your bank or another financial account.
Adding a Child to Joint Tenancy Title
Most people understand that a jointly held title passes to the surviving title holder(s), as stated above. It is the most common way to hold a title in marital real estate. However, as covered below, it is far from the best way to hold a title when married. However, parents often add their children to the title since it is common. They figure that when they both die, the title will pass directly to the child named on it. Here is a list of what can and often does go wrong with that approach: • If your child did not contribute capital in return for being added to the title, then, if it is one child, you gave that child a gift of 1/3 the value of your property. If the child survives both parents, they will own 50% upon the death of the first parent and 100% upon the surviving parent’s death. • While the above appeared to work, the surviving child is subject to capital gains tax of 15 to 20% of the entire property appreciation from your original purchase price. Your child did not inherit your homestead exemption. • If you had more than one child and intended for your titleholding child to share the property equally with all your children, it might not happen. Your child could die before doing so, have pending litigation, or the child’s spouse might have a different idea. In addition, you could owe gift tax of 40% on any amount gifted over your lifetime exemption. • By adding your child to the title, you expose your property to that child’s lawsuits and creditor claims. • If you add two or more children to the title, you own less than your children when your spouse dies, and they might decide it’s in your best interest to sell your house.
Avoiding Probate with Joint Tenancy
Married couples often believe that joint tenancy avoids Probate. It doesn’t. It delays Probate until the survivor’s death.
Probate exists primarily because no one has the right to sign our name. If you become incapacitated, or when we die, property held solely in our name must go through the long (1-2 years) and expensive Probate process. As a result, Probate must occur even if you have a Will. A Will is your written wishes that must be approved by a Probate Court judge who appoints an Executor to oversee the distribution of your property. To avoid Probate, potential taxes, and other costly unintended consequences, you should hold title to all your property in a Living Trust instead of in your name.
Your Living Trust Police Discount
I offer a 1/3 reduction of my fees to all police officers and staff, MAP members, and their family members. At the end of your life or incapacitation, they risk Probate if you have property, investments, or bank accounts in your name. • A Will = Probate. The rule is that no one can legally sign your name. Therefore, all assets in your name are subject to the Probate process, which averages 18 months and is costly. • A Living Trust avoids Probate. • Your financial accounts, life insurance policies, and deferred compensation accounts can name your Living Trust as beneficiary, subject to essential tax considerations. • A Living Trust estate plan includes Health Care and Financial Power of Attorney documents. It also consists of a Last Will and Testament. • A Will is necessary for guardianship of minor children. It also transfers assets in your name out of Probate. • A Living Trust contains a No Contest provision and beneficiary Asset Protection clauses. • Your estate plan comes with free lifetime access to your client portal and digital storage of all essential documents, accessible with your chosen password. Call my office today to lock in your MAP 1/3 reduced rate for a complete Living Trust Estate Plan. Tom Tuohy has been a police lawyer for over three decades.

The 30th Annual M.A.P. Golf Outing We Played, We Laughed, We Connected!
M
other Nature finally decided to cooperate for once, and we took full advantage! The 30th Annual M.A.P. Golf Outing kicked off at The Links of Carillon on Monday, June 22nd, and turned out to be a great day all around. We had a packed house with 148 golfers hitting the course and 165 folks who attended the fantastic dinner afterward. But honestly, the best part wasn’t just the golf. It was the company. Union members showed up not just to swing clubs, but to catch up, laugh at bad shots, and just hang out together. I think we’ve also nailed down our giveaway formula (Hopefully!). Poncho for rain plus cooling towel for heat equals happy golfers. Only thing left to solve? Wet grass conditions. Rubber boots? Send your suggestions our way! And as usual, this is where the outing really shined. Members got to mingle with each other across different chapters in
and around the Chicagoland area, which doesn’t happen often enough. But the real bonus? Having so many M.A.P. attorneys there in person. Members got to shoot the breeze with the very lawyers who advocate for them and chat about everything from legal questions to how things are going in not only their chapters but many of the M.A.P. chapters they usually only get to read about in the M.A.P. Rapsheet. Those conversations rarely happen, and everyone seemed to appreciate the chance to connect face-to-face. The raffle this year had a cool twist too. Buffalo Trace favorites were on the menu, and let’s just say nobody went home empty-handed. Huge thanks to everyone who showed up, pitched in, and made this 30th anniversary outing a winner. Special thanks to our MAP office staff, especially Morgan, Lyndsay, and Kim who make a crazy day look organized and easy. Can’t wait for next year’s outing!
