COURSE OVERVIEW: This 5-day, 40-hour program has been designed by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training Standards Board to provide students with the required training in the use of police personnel within the school setting in accordance with SB 2925 (PA 100-984).  SROs must be police officers of law enforcement agencies who are to serve within a school setting pursuant to a memorandum of understanding between the employing law enforcement agency and a school district within the agency’s jurisdiction. Any officer serving in this role as of January 1, 2021, must have a special certification issued by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board (“Board”). Such officers must have attended special training or attained a waiver by the Board before they can serve in this role.

To be eligible for this special certificate, a full-time Illinois law enforcement officer must have been actively employed in a law enforcement position within the state for at least three years (five years for part-time officers) before enrolling in the course or requesting a waiver. Each such officer must also be of sound character, free of disciplinary concerns, and open to working with minors.
