ILEETA membership is open to professionals who are actively involved in law enforcement training and education or who directly support that mission. Our members include academy instructors, field training officers, firearms and tactics instructors, command staff, dispatch trainers, curriculum developers, researchers, and professional educators. We also welcome corporate partners and industry professionals whose products or services advance law enforcement training as corporate sponsors.

Whether you're newly assigned to training or have decades of experience, you'll find a community committed to sharing knowledge, challenging assumptions, and continually searching for better practices, not just best practices.

At its core, ILEETA is a #TribeOfTrainers, united by a common purpose: to inspire excellence in law enforcement training. Membership provides year-round opportunities to collaborate with peers, access professional development resources, and help shape the future of the profession.

If you're dedicated to developing those who serve and protect our communities, there's a place for you at ILEETA.

ILEETA's Mission

ILEETA inspires excellence in law enforcement training.

We accomplish this by bringing together trainers, educators, researchers, and industry partners from around the world to share knowledge, challenge conventional thinking, and develop better practices that improve the safety, effectiveness, and professionalism of those who serve.

ILEETA exists to support the people responsible for preparing others, providing opportunities to learn, share, and lead through collaboration, professional development, research, and meaningful connections. We believe that when trainers grow, agencies improve, officers are better prepared, and communities are better served.

At its heart, ILEETA is more than an association. It is a global #TribeOfTrainers committed to continuous learning, authentic collaboration, and leaving the profession better than we found it.

When ILEETA began creating E-Bulletins we were inundated with requests to post upcoming training announcements, (not surprising since we are an organization of trainers). So we partnered with PoliceTraining.net and put a link on our web site to this service. They are the go to place for trainers to look for training by subject, date or location and they are very reasonable. The E-Blasts that appear in the E-Bulletins are restricted to ILEETA Corporate Sponsors and the only other posting you might see for training in the e-bulletins would be for free training.
