If, when a request is made, no officer at that agency 5 of the requested sex or gender with the training described in 6 subsection (g) is reasonably available, the victim may consent 7 to be interviewed by any available law enforcement officer 8 with that training, decline to be interviewed, or choose to 9 schedule an interview at another time when such an officer is 10 expected to be available. Every law enforcement agency shall 11 establish a policy that defines "reasonably available" for 12 this Section. 13 The duty to inform the victim about the opportunity to 14 request to be interviewed by an officer of a particular sex or 15 gender shall not apply to the preliminary investigation by the 16 initial responding officer at the crime scene, in the 17 emergency department of a hospital, at an approved pediatric 18 health care facility, or under exigent circumstances. The 19 initial responding officer shall not require a victim to 20 submit to an interview, pursuant to subsection (e). If the 21 victim requests an officer of a particular sex or gender at the 22 scene, in the emergency department of a hospital, at an 23 approved pediatric health care facility, or during exigent 24 circumstances, the responding officer shall accommodate the 25 request when an officer of the requested sex or gender is 26 reasonably available. HB4394 Enrolled - 5 - LRB104 15620 RLC 28787 b 1 (i) A law enforcement officer shall inform a victim of 2 sexual assault or sexual abuse of the opportunity to have a 3 support person of the victim's choosing present during any 4 interview by a law enforcement officer or prosecutor, unless 5 the law enforcement officer or prosecutor makes a good faith 6 determination based on professional judgment, before or during 7 the interview, that the presence of the support person would 8 be detrimental to the purpose of the interview. If the support 9 person engages in behavior that disrupts or undermines the 10 interview, the support person may be removed. If the support 11 person is not permitted to accompany the victim or is removed, 12 the victim may consent to be interviewed without a support 13 person, decline to be interviewed, or choose to schedule an 14 interview at another time and bring a different support 15 person. 16 The duty to inform the victim about the opportunity to 17 have a support person shall not apply to the preliminary 18 investigation by the initial responding officer at the crime 19 scene, in the emergency department of a hospital, at an 20 approved pediatric health care facility, or under exigent 21 circumstances.
