A big thank you to everyone who attended the 2025 ILEAS Conference! 

The 19th Annual ILEAS Conference was held on March 30-April 1 at the Crowne Plaza in Springfield. Nearly 300 people were in attendance from 170 agencies across the state.

Feedback on the return to our longtime conference venue in Springfield was very positive! Conference highlights included Chris Prochut’s “Taking Care of Our Own” and the dinner presentation by Tim Sinclair, the voice of the Chicago Bears, Chicago Bulls and the University of Illinois Fighting Illini. ILEAS would also like to thank Superintendent Larry Snelling of the Chicago Police Department for joining us to celebrate the safe and secure Democratic National Convention which occurred this past summer.

Please check back later for final directions on obtaining training certificates and credit for ILETSB mandates. We hope to see you all again next year!
