#ReadingWithILEETA

Welcome to #ReadingWithILEETA, a new initiative where we explore one great book each month as a community of trainers, educators, and leaders.

Each month, we’ll announce a featured book to read together — offering discussion prompts, insights, and practical takeaways for law enforcement training and beyond.

This month’s pick: The Ultimate Police Trainer’s Playbook: Mastering Impactful Openers and Lasting Closers in Training

Author: Antonio Zarzoza “Instructor Z”

The Ultimate Police Trainer’s Playbook by Antonio Zarzoza is a step-by-step guide to crafting powerful training openers and closers using the S.T.A.R.T. and E.N.D.I.T. frameworks. Packed with practical tips, it helps trainers engage learners from the start, inspire action at the end, and design intentional, lasting learning experiences for law enforcement and beyond.
