The current Less Lethal Alternatives for Law Enforcement (LLA) grant ended on June 30, 2026.  Moving forward, $5 million in funding for the LLA grant was again appropriated by the Illinois General Assembly and signed by the Governor in the FY27 state budget.  During an Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority Budget Committee meeting on June 18, 2026, ILEAS was selected and confirmed to receive the $5 million allocation to continue the LLA grant.  Grant staff is preparing to move forward.  Agencies are encouraged to monitor the ILEAS website and ILEAS emails for further direction regarding applying for this opportunity.
