On December 11, 2025, the Illinois Law Enforcement Training & Standards Board approved updates to its In-Service Approved Guidelines. You can find the latest version of these guidelines here, or on our Model Policies and Guidelines page

Pursuant to Board Policy adopted in December 2013 all in-service courses shall be delivered and certified through the Mobile Team system unless the course and/or venue is approved by the Board on an individual basis.  The Mobile Teams shall have the option of providing all in-service courses. If the Mobile Team declines the delivery of any course within its region for reasons other than duplication, the Board may determine whether the course is otherwise certifiable and/or reimbursable based upon the best interests of law enforcement. Board certificates may be provided to individuals that the Mobile Training unit can identify as having successfully completed a Board-certified course.

Certification shall be reviewed by the Board on an annual basis.
