ILEETA Members Respond

Your response has been overwhelming, 46 requests, make that 47 in the past 6 hours! Keep them coming and I will get the invitations out to you as soon as I can! I will try to check my e-mail three to four time a day, but sometime I cannot because my Chief actual expects me to get out on the street from time to time. I remind you all that the 2007 Seminar is fast approaching and that means yet another great Donut Contest to raise money for the National Law enforcement Officers memorial Fund and the ILEETA scholarships. Please remember we need scholarship applicants in order to give the scholarships Out. Find deserving men and women in your home areas and have them apply. If you have questions contact Harvey Hedden at harveyhedden@ illeta.org Take care and as always Stay safe!!

Welcome to the Official ILEETA Blog

The International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Association is an organization by, for and about Instructors and training for the criminal justice professions. Our basic premise is "Wisdom and Courage Through Knowledge and Skill" Building on that premise we invite and encourage you as a member of ILEETA to post articles and respond to training discussions. As with all ILEETA sponsored activities we ask that your posts are professionally structured. Do not attack other persons for what they think or their training methods. ILEETA is a peer to peer organization, if you have a disagreement with another trainer, debate the issue not the personality. Free exchange of ideas is what we encourage. We encourage this though great communications, a great yearly seminar and great member benefits, this blog being one of those benefits.

As a member of your Board of Advisors, I can tell you that we listen to members and respond to members’ needs and wants, this blog is a result of your requests. I have taken on the responsibility of being the monitor of this blog. I will not censor any posts, however if a post attacks an individual or an organization or gets out of the realm of professionalism I will contact the member who made the post before it is posted for public view and discuss it with them.

On behalf of the entire Board of Advisors and Our Executive Staff, Ed & Harvey I welcome you to the ILEETA Blog. To join just send me an e-mail with your name your return e-mail address. Remember this is for ILEETA members only so after I receive your e-mail I will confirm your ILEETA membership with ILEETA Headquarters, after I receive a confirmation from them I will send you an official invitation, which will serve as your confirmation and welcoming to the Official ILEETA Blog. So to join send your information to jimsmith@ileeta.org. Please allow at least 5 business days before you receive your official invitation.
