Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation Program (ILEAP)

ILEAP Logo

ILEAP aims to make police organizations better by evaluating policies and procedures against established criteria. Coupling the alignment of policy and written directives against best practices is the process of having those criteria certified by an independent, authoritative body - the ILEAP Council. The establishment of meaningful and professional standards with an evaluation for compliance with those standards are the two fundamental components of the accreditation program.

More than 50 Illinois agencies are currently accredited through the program. Benefits include:

  • Reducing the risk of liability. Compliance is verified by an independent and authoritative body, the Illinois Law Enforcement Accreditation Council.
  • Ensures your agency meets mandated requirements. Standards are regularly updated and are now SAFE-T Act compliant.
  • Build your agency's reputation and trust within your community. Accreditation gives your community peace of mind in knowing their local law enforcement agency meets statewide standards which helps build trust and public support
