AOJ 280 — Law Enforcement Transition
This course is designed for those (1) police officers who were employed as part-time officers and now want to become employed as full-time officers, (2) out-of-state officers seeking certification in Illinois, and (3) former Illinois officers who have not been active in law enforcement for a stipulated period. This is an 80-hour transition course and as such the purpose of the program is to reinforce previous training in critical duties and responsibilities. Additionally, the full time officer may find himself/herself less supervised than the part-time officer, thereby needing the skill and knowledge gained during this transition course to ensure the safety of the officer and the public. This reinforcement of the safety of the officer and the public is especially important in the area of liability and public contact.
