The Transition Course is designed for a part time law enforcement officer who has successfully completed the Part Time Basic Law Enforcement Course, passed the certification exam, and has moved into a full time law enforcement classification for his employing agency.

An officer is registered into the course through the waiver process.  A Form E, Notice of Appointment for Full-time Classification and a Full-time Waiver Request application must be filed with ILETSB to enroll the officer in the course.

Form E’s and Waivers must be all done via LEDI, https://ledi.ptb.illinois.gov. Waiver Applications must be fully processed to enroll the officer. The law enforcement agency sponsoring the full time officer will receive a letter in response to the waiver application indicating the officer has been enrolled.

Upon receipt of this waiver letter, call the Academy for further directions — 618-222-5396.

The purpose of this course is to reinforce previous training in critical duties and responsibilities, as well as introduce concepts that may not have been examined in previous training. There is an online component and an in-person component. Additional details in the information packet below.
