Policemen's Benevolent Labor Committee v. City of Sparta

Summary

The court held that the City's activity-points policy violated the Illinois Municipal Code because it counted the issuance of citations as points of contact in evaluating police officers. The statutory language plainly prohibits including citations in a points-of-contact system, even though it permits municipalities to evaluate officers using other quantifiable contacts. The court affirmed the appellate court, reversed the circuit court, and remanded for entry of summary judgment for the Union.
