Admission Procedures for the 80 Hour Transition Course

The 80 Hour Transition Course is designed for a part time law enforcement officer who has successfully completed the 400 hour 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 at the ILETSB to enroll the officer in the course.   You may secure the waiver form and the Form E from the ILETSB website under the Forms Link or through the EDI process.   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.  At the same time the ILETSB will notify Southwestern Illinois Police Academy that the officer has been enrolled in the course, and the academy will send the law enforcement agency an enrollment packet.
