Why Law Enforcement Should Attend ILEETA

What do ILEETA Members say about the ILEETA Conference and Expo?

“The ILEETA Conference is the single best training event of the year. There are non-stop training opportunities from the time you arrive to the time you leave to go home. I always leave the Conference exhausted, but it recharges my batteries year after year. The number of connections and opportunities available to members who attend the ILEETA Conference is incredible. If you’re a trainer who isn’t attending the ILEETA Conference, you’re doing yourself, your department, and your students a disservice.”

Todd FletcherBend (OR) Police Department (ret.)

“The ILEETA Conference continues to be a top tier training opportunity. The caliber of instructors is second to none. You would be hard pressed to find a better opportunity for department trainers to learn new ideas, both through classroom instruction and informal networking, than at the ILEETA Conference.”

Commander Zach ZigtermanPlainfield Police Department

“This was my 3rd conference and always I leave feeling overwhelmed from all of the great information I received while attending. I would recommend the ILEETA to any Law Enforcement Instructor whether they are new to instructing or if they have instructing for 20 plus years. Also the networking that is established at the conference is a gold mine compared to other training conference’s I attend.”

Captain Jason DunnMissouri Division of Fire Safety Fire Investigation and Explosion Unit.

“The annual ILEETA is a must have as police trainer, I leave the conference refreshed, with great new contacts, and great new ideas to better serve my officers and my community.”
