Don’t Miss This Training Opportunity!
The 2019 ILEETA Training Conference and Expo will offer more than 150 courses and more than two dozen instructor certifications/armorer courses. Topics include use of force, officer survival, defensive tactics, instructor development, specialized training and firearms including a live fire track. Attendees receive a certificate of attendance, conference bag, shirt and numerous other giveaways.
Certification, armorer and live fire courses will require advance registration as there will be limits on class size. These courses may charge up to $35 per person (materials fees to cover costs), which will be paid prior to the conference directly to the instructor. Specific details on signing up for these courses will be made available on the ILEETA web site, (www.ileeta.org), and by e-mail to those who have registered for the conference.
