The International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Association is an international community of trainers, educators, researchers, and public safety professionals dedicated to advancing law enforcement training through collaboration, professional development, and lifelong learning.
Every law enforcement officer is shaped by the quality of the training they receive. Behind every well-prepared officer is an instructor who invested the time to learn, improve, and share what works.
ILEETA exists because investing in the instructor is one of the most effective ways to improve policing.
ILEETA inspires excellence in law enforcement training.
We accomplish that by developing exceptional instructors, sharing practical ideas, encouraging professional collaboration, and building a global community committed to continuous improvement.
One idea has guided ILEETA since its founding:
Training is never finished. Every lesson, every after-action review, every conversation, and every experience creates another opportunity to improve.
That is why ILEETA has never pursued best practices. We pursue better practices.
Members often describe ILEETA as finding their people. It is a place where instructors openly share ideas, mentor one another, challenge assumptions, and work together to solve problems facing the profession.
Whether you're teaching your first academy class or have spent decades developing instructors, you'll find a community committed to helping you become even better.
ILEETA membership is designed for professionals responsible for developing others.
If your responsibility is helping others learn, grow, and perform at a higher level, you belong in the conversation.
ILEETA is far more than an annual conference. Throughout the year, members can access webinars, the ILEETA Journal, the Learning Lab, research, professional networking, instructor resources, discounts from corporate partners, and opportunities to publish, present, and collaborate with trainers around the world.
Since 2003, ILEETA has connected thousands of trainers representing local, state, federal, tribal, military, corrections, campus, and international organizations.
Every course taught, every instructor developed, and every lesson shared extends the influence of ILEETA far beyond a single classroom. The ripple effect reaches agencies, officers, and communities around the world.
The future of law enforcement training depends on instructors who continue learning, continue sharing, and continue improving. If that's who you are, we invite you to become part of the #TribeOfTrainers.
