Did You Know?
When law enforcement is summoned to a home on suspicion of domestic abuse, the officer is obligated to make an arrest if there is any indication of injury. Even if the person who called the police made a false accusation and does not want to press charges, the prosecutor will move forward with the case because of Illinois' no-drop policy.
