“When determining minimum in-service training requirements that a police officer must satisfactorily complete, only Board-Certified courses that comply with Board approved guidelines will be considered”.

Illinois Law Enforcement Training & Standards Board- Policy Adopted September 22, 2016

MTU 9 statement about In-Service Training Conducted by Agencies. The above policy statement means your in-service training will not be counted by the board as meeting a training requirement, unless the training was certified through a Mobile Team Unit (MTU), or the Executive Institute. Read more on the MTU9 webpage -Guidelines for mandated training topics board policy statement

EXPLANATION OF HOW THE MANDATES ARE TRACKED

An officer’s compliance/ non-compliance status is found on an agencies LEDI account. Officers are tracked by the “Police Training Board” (PTB) number which follows them wherever the officer is added to a LEDI roster. The LEDI record will indicate the officer’s compliance status and display a date when that compliance status for a certain mandate will change.

HOW LEDI TRACKS THE TRAINING COMPLIANCE FOR AN OFFICER

When an officer attends a certified class and the MTU enters it into the MTU’s records management system, it is imported by the LEDI system and the clock starts ticking to comply with that in-service mandate.

When an officer takes a class that meets a mandate, the clock starts over and is reset every time they take a class that meets that mandate. In other words, officers are always looking back in time.

So, the question is, has the "use of force" been taken in the last 12 months, or has a procedural justice class been taken in the last 24 months
If an officer takes a Procedural justice related class today, the clock starts ticking for them to take another one within 36 months of today. If they take a civil rights related class next Thursday, the clock starts ticking for them to take another civil rights class 36 months from next Thursday

POLICE COMMUNITY RELATIONS IMPROVEMENT ACT - MANDATED OIS POLICY

As of January 1, 2016, the Police Community Relations Improvement Act required each law enforcement agency to have a written policy regarding the investigation of officer-involved deaths that involve a law enforcement officer employed by that law enforcement agency.

As of August 25, 2017, Agencies had to update the policy to meet a drug/alcohol testing mandate. The amendment provides that each law enforcement agency shall adopt a written policy regarding drug testing following an officer-involved shooting. The Police and Community Relations Improvement Act is amended by adding Section 1-25. Drug and alcohol testing. "OFFICER -INVOLVED SHOOTING" is defined 50 ILCS 727/1-25 -new Section 5.

(a) As used in this Section, "officer-involved shooting" means any instance when a law enforcement officer discharges his or her firearm, causing injury or death to a person or persons, during the performance of his or her official duties or in the line of duty.

(b) Each law enforcement agency shall adopt a written policy regarding drug and alcohol testing following an officer-involved shooting.

The written policy adopted by the law enforcement agency must include the following requirements: (1) each law enforcement officer who is involved in an officer-involved shooting must submit to drug and alcohol testing; and (2) the drug and alcohol testing must be completed as soon as practicable after the officer-involved shooting but no later than the end of the involved officer's shift or tour of duty. Section 99. Effective date. This Act takes effect upon becoming law. Effective Date: 8/25/2017

Side note- Agencies need confer with their criminal investigators and confirm their responsibilities under the act and your policy. Some investigating groups believe this mandate is an "administrative action" and they will not complete this action during their criminal investigation. The agency will then have to take the steps to comply.

96 HOUR DRUG RECOGNITION EXPERT TRAINING -

Drug Recognition Experts (D.R.E.’s) are frequently called upon to differentiate between drug influence and medical and/or mental disorders.

To receive certification as a D.R.E., three phases of training must be completed. The following is a summarization of each phase:

Phase I: Pre-school (2 days/ 16 hours)

Students will learn how to conduct a 12-step evaluation on a drug-impaired subject. There are five written quizzes and a final written exam. Students must achieve a minimum passing score of 80% on the final exam in order to progress to the certification phase.

Certification Phase: (Times and locations TBD)

After successfully completing the academic portion of the program, students must complete the certification phase. It is the student’s responsibility to complete the certification requirements within six months of completing the DRE school.

These requirements include conducting a minimum of 12 drug influence evaluations while under the supervision of a DRE instructor; identifying subjects under the influence of three of the seven drug categories; attaining a 75% toxicological confirmation rate. Additionally, students must maintain a progress log, rolling log, and submit a curriculum vitae (CV).

DRE certification is valid for two years from the date of initial certification.
