ILEAS is dedicating to providing training to all First Responders.  This includes looking at new medium for the dissemination of training courses since many agencies cannot afford to pay overtime backfill to send officers to distant training classes.  One such medium that provides excellent potential is the internet.  Advances in high speed internet and software allowing for content creation has led to previously unavailable online or "web based" training opportunities.

In 2009, ILEAS, in partnership with the Illinois State Police, will be activating an online training portal for all law enforcement agencies in Illinois.  This Learning Management System has the potential to revolutionize how Illinois law enforcement agencies manage training and certification for their officers.  It will be free to use for all Illinois first responder agencies.

More information will be forthcoming as the system is closer to release.

In addition to the ILEAS Learning Management System, many excellent government agencies and/or private businesses provide online training opportunities for first responders.  Some of those opportunities are listed below:
