In Illinois a person is assaulted when he is put in reasonable apprehension of receiving a battery. A Battery is when someone causes bodily harm or makes physical contact of an insulting or provoking nature.
So, if you were to swing at the police officer and miss, you'd be charged with assault. If you made contact, you'd be charged with battery.
Assault is a class 4 felony punishable by 1-3 years in prison and/or a $25k fine. Battery is a class 2 felony and is punishable by 3-7 years in prison and/or a $25k fine.
