Less Lethal Alternatives for Law Enforcement Grant – Applications Now Open

Applications are now being accepted from agencies interested in obtaining Taser 7 or Taser 10 packages through the Less Lethal Alternatives for Law Enforcement Grant.  The deadline to submit applications is October 9, 2026.

  • The Illinois Legislature has appropriated the funds necessary to make this opportunity possible, and ICJIA has announced ILEAS as the public agency to make awards to local law enforcement.  However, the grant agreement is still being finalized.  In an effort to avoid delaying the award of tasers to individual law enforcement agencies, ILEAS is taking applications at this time.  No award or purchase of tasers will be possible until the grant agreement between ICJIA and ILEAS has been completed.

Questions about the grant, application, or technical questions may be directed to ILEASLLAGrant@ileas.org or (217) 328-3800, Ext. 404.

Naloxone Grant – Equipping Police and Fire to Fight the Opioid Epidemic

Due to new funding from the State of Illinois, ILEAS is renewing its efforts to distribute naloxone across the state as of summer 2026.  Currently, the Illinois Department of Public Health has entered into an agreement with ILEAS to continue providing free nasal naloxone through June 30, 2027.

Beyond these state efforts, the Illinois Department of Public Health has also applied for the federal First Responders – Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act grant, which has funded naloxone distribution through ILEAS for the past eight years.  If IDPH is awarded this federal grant, it will provide additional funding from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2027, to supply free nasal naloxone to police and fire agencies in all 102 Illinois counties.

In the meantime, state resources through IDPH are currently available.  Please contact ILEAS to review eligibility and coordinate delivery.

Agencies reminded of Cyber Navigators as midterm elections approach

With Illinois’ midterm elections coming up on November 3, 2026, ILEAS would like to remind law enforcement agencies of Illinois’ Cyber Navigator Program.  The program was established in 2018 to ensure that all 108 local election authorities in Illinois have access to cybersecurity training and resources needed to guard against potential cyber-attacks against the state’s election system.  Please log in to your ILEAS agency member page for further information and contact information.
