ILETSB Officer Training Portal

The ILTESB Officer Portal for monitoring compliance with the SAFE-T Act is now live.  Click here to register for an account. Officers will need their PTB ID to register. PTBs can be found here.

Under the Act individual officers, not departments, are responsible for ensuring and reporting compliance.  You can read the statute here. There are provisions for obtaining waivers if your department does not provide the correct training, but ICOPs recommends our members do not rely on waivers. Contact ICOPs if you are having trouble obtaining training.
