Revealing the ILEETA Logo at the 2026 Conference & Expo
At the 2026 ILEETA Conference & Expo in St. Louis, we had the opportunity to introduce something new during Opening Ceremonies, a logo that reflects not only who we are today, but who we have always been.
A fresh new look grounded in tradition
For many in the room, the ILEETA name and symbol are instantly recognizable. For years, the legacy logo has represented a global community of trainers committed to improving law enforcement training. That identity remains unchanged. The new logo was never intended to replace that legacy, but to build upon it.
At the top or along side the new design, you will still see the familiar elements that have defined ILEETA for decades. The star remains. The structure of the lettering remains. Even with a modern update, including the A crossing over the T, the logo intentionally carries forward the visual identity that so many of our members recognize and respect. It is a bridge between past and present, honoring the work that built this organization while positioning it for continued growth.
Surrounding the logo is a circle, representing something that has become increasingly clear over the years, ILEETA is a global community. What started as a conference has evolved into a worldwide network of trainers connected by a shared mission. That circle reflects the reach of our members across countries, disciplines, and agencies, and reinforces a simple truth, no trainer stands alone.
At the center of the design is a platform supported by three pillars. The platform symbolizes the mission of of ILEETA: Inspire Excellence in Law Enforcement Training. These pillars represent the core values that guide ILEETA in everything we do, Connection, Evolution, and Legacy.
Connection is the foundation of this organization. It is the relationships built in classrooms, hallways, and conversations between sessions. It is the network of trainers who support one another, challenge one another, and grow together. ILEETA has often been described as a community that just happens to host a conference, and that idea is captured clearly in this pillar.
Evolution reflects our commitment to progress. Law enforcement training does not stand still, and neither can we. At ILEETA, evolution is not about chasing trends, it is about intentional, thoughtful improvement. It is about integrating research, experience, and innovation in a way that strengthens the profession without losing sight of what matters most.
Legacy is what ties it all together. The work of a trainer is rarely measured in immediate outcomes. It is seen over time, in the decisions officers make, in the lives they protect, and in the standards they carry forward. The legacy of ILEETA lives in the people it develops and the impact those individuals have long after the training ends.
The new logo represents all of this. It is a symbol of continuity, growth, and purpose. It reflects a global community grounded in shared values and committed to inspiring excellence in law enforcement training.
As we move forward, this logo will serve as a reminder of who we are, where we came from, and what we are here to do.
