ILEAS at the DNC

On Saturday, August 17, a large contingent of ILEAS officers were sworn in by Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling so they could began helping to secure the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. 

This group of officers numbered 253 from 113 different Illinois law enforcement agencies.

 

These officers filled various security roles, allowing Chicago police to focus on patrolling neighborhoods citywide. 

Beyond the sworn officers, ILEAS support staff were also on site, assisting with planning, communications, and other roles. 

The entire team of officers and ILEAS staff returned home on Friday, August 23, at the conclusion of the convention.

Training Center remodeling project nears completion

 

After almost a year of work, the $3 million ILEAS Training Center remodeling project is nearing the end. 

Last week, contractors delivered and began the installation of the main air handler unit for the B-wing space, the last major upgrade remaining in the project.  The classrooms and movable tactical wall systems are almost ready for students, also in the B-wing.  Beyond this work, the shipping/receiving area, the basement communication equipment storage, and the central courtyard have all been touched to some degree. 

Look for an official announcement later this year celebrating the final completion.
