Illinois Law Enforcement Training
Meet your ILETSB mandated training requirements
LeoTraining helps Illinois police departments fulfill state-mandated continuing education through attorney-written legal training, monthly articles, and certification tracking.
What is ILETSB?
The Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board (ILETSB) is the state agency responsible for setting training standards and certification requirements for all Illinois law enforcement officers.
Every sworn officer in Illinois must complete mandatory in-service training each year to maintain their certification. These mandates cover critical areas including constitutional law, use of force, civil rights, and procedural justice.
Failing to meet these requirements puts individual officers' certifications at risk and exposes departments to significant liability.
Illinois training mandates include:
- Civil Rights — Understanding constitutional protections in policing
- Human Rights — Bias recognition and equitable enforcement
- Constitutional Use of Law Enforcement Authority — Legal boundaries of police power
- Procedural Justice — Fair and transparent policing practices
- Use of Force — Legal standards and de-escalation
- Legal Updates — Recent court decisions affecting police work
- Officer Wellness & Mental Health — Resilience and peer support
