About Part-Time Officer Basic Training

Part-Time Officer Basic Training is available ONLY to officers who have already been hired and sworn in by an Illinois police department for a part-time police officer position.  We cannot accept civilians, auxiliary, non-sworn officers, sworn officers hired for full-time status, or officers who have previously successfully passed the full-time academy.  No officer may enroll for this training on his/her own.  Enrollment must come through the employing agency.  Part-Time Hours VS Full-Time Hours  <--This explains the difference between a full-time and a part-time officer.  Part Time Training Rules  <-- Rules for students enrolled in MTU #10 Part-Time Basic Training Program.

 DISCLAIMER:

Any opinions expressed, outside of the curriculum, during training sessions are exclusively those of the individual instructor or student, and do not necessarily reflect the beliefs, attitudes, and/or opinions of the Law Enforcement Training Advisory Commission Advisory Board and/or Staff.

Please bear in mind that while attending training, you are in an academic setting.  Therefore, it is expected that ideas, opinions, and real-life examples may be used as an aide in emphasizing the learning objective to students.  The classroom should be considered a "safe zone" where all discussion/conversation should remain confidential.  Students should feel safe to ask questions and "kick around" ideas in this setting. 

It is not the intention to criticize or offend anyone either in the classroom, or in the community, however, there may be times when a comment is made which might be interpreted by some as offensive.  We ask that you bear in mind that hindsight is 20/20, and that lessons are often learned by dissecting and evaluating the actions of ourselves and others which may have contributed to an avoidable situation.  Using these kinds of examples is invaluable to the learning process.  Please remember that real life examples are used as a learning tool, and not as a personal commentary or criticism of the event and/or those involved.

Thank you.
