Officer’s MUST BE at least 1 year from their initial certification date in order to take this class. 

Course Object

This 40-hour program is designed to provide selected officers with specialized training on dealing with individuals in the community who have a mental illness or other behavioral disability.  CIT officers are trained as resource specialists who can provide immediate response to calls involving a mental health crisis.  The “team” concept refers to law enforcement involvement with stakeholder agencies, as well as interagency mutual assistance when appropriate.

The course will be conducted by a diverse group of law enforcement and behavioral health professionals.

During the week, students will participate in a variety of valuable exercises that will simulate auditory and 3-D visual hallucinations that individuals with a mental illness might experience.  The program will also provide officers with a unique opportunity to interact with individuals who have a mental illness and their family members (primary and secondary consumers).

An essential part of the CIT course is scenario-based skills training.  Officers are challenged with realistic scenarios portrayed by professional actors from Chicago and St. Louis.  Scenarios may include a suicide intervention, de-escalating a violent situation, or responding to a call involving an individual experiencing paranoia.  All scenarios are facilitated and evaluated by certified CIT officers.

Government buildings continue to be a target, just turn on the news! With that being said, courthouses and courtrooms are especially vulnerable targets due to fact they are not only government facilities but also where our criminal justice system operates. With many potential targets utilizing the courthouse daily, including defendants, victims, family and domestic parties, judges and numerous county officials, disruptions are on the rise.
Courthouse/courtroom incidents range from minor disruptions such as picketing to physical assault and even murder. Regardless of your experience, there is no assurance that violence will not happen in your court. The question is not “if it will happen but when?”

Course Objectives:

Violent Court Incidents/Case Studies – By examining in detail past court incidents and case studies, students will be able to begin the process of accessing their own courtroom, courthouse, parking lots, grounds and current security systems and protocols.
Legal Issues of Courtroom/Courthouse Security – This session will cover case law in order to prepare each student with a working knowledge of what they “can” and “can’t” do legally.
Overview of Courtroom Security – This session will cover and discuss profiles of those involved in courtroom/courthouse incidents, various stages of the proceeding in which incidents and disruptions are more likely to occur, and prepare the students with a background in statistics to better prepare them for potential incidents.
Daily Operational Concerns for Courtroom/Courthouse Security – By examining the “5 Elements of Courthouse/Courtroom Security” a foundation for security begins to develop with court security personnel, court tenants, policies and procedures and the securing of the physical facility.
Prisoner/Defendant Security – This session will cover how to prepare for and minimize disruptions from in-custody defendants, transportation pitfalls, various restraints, communications, searches, juveniles and a myriad of topics dealing with court appearances.
High Risk/Critical Situations – This session will be devoted to high risk trials, sequestered juries, protests and many other situations that there is time to prepare, implement and execute a appropriate plan to mitigate the risks.
Bomb Threats/Natural Disasters and Other Emergencies – There is the potential for a wide variety of emergency situations to arise at a courthouse, oftentimes with little or no warning.

Focus™ Gunfighter – Level 1

Instructor: Al Bello

August 17-18, 2026

 8am  – 4pm

 Class will meet at: Tazewell County Sheriff’s Office Range, 21302 Illinois Route 9, Tremont IL

Enrollment Deadline: August 10, 2026

Course Size: Max 20

Course Objective

FOCUS™ – Gunfighter Level 1 is a 16-hour, two-day, performance-based pistol course intended for experienced shooters who already possess a strong foundation in handgun safety and marksmanship. This is not a basic pistol class. Departments should refrain from sending below average shooters to this course. Rather, it is an advanced application course for officers who need to pressure-test their shooting ability in positions and conditions that more closely resemble actual gunfights. Students will work with optic-equipped duty pistols only and will fire approximately 1,000 rounds over two days in drills designed to challenge balance, grip integrity, target focus, visual discipline, stress management, positional adaptability, and engagement accuracy.

Instruction in this course moves beyond static marksmanship and focuses on the shooter’s ability to function when the fight becomes inconvenient, physically taxing, and mentally compressed. Students will engage from behind cover, while kneeling, from seated and grounded positions, while moving to positions of advantage, immediately after physical exertion, and from compromised body orientations such as supine or partially supported positions. The course also introduces practical point shooting concepts for close-range, high-speed engagements and teaches students how to maintain an effective pistol grip that supports recoil control, rapid recovery, and usable accuracy under stress. The overall intent is to expose officers to the messiness of real-world deadly force problems and condition them to continue performing with discipline, aggression, and precision.

*Students must be physically capable of elevating their heart rates safely and without medical concern. 

*Students MUST be of average physical fitness or higher. (POWER test standard)

*Students MUST either be certified firearms instructors or have at least 3 shooting courses in their training history within the last 18 months.

*Students MUST bring their duty belts.

*Students MUST bring their vests.

*Students MUST bring eye and ear protection.

*Students MUST bring 20 “dummy” training rounds for their weapon.

*Students MUST bring at least 3 training magazines for their weapon. 5 is preferred.

*Students MUST have an optic mounted on their handguns prior to arriving to class.

Government buildings continue to be a target, just turn on the news! With that being said, courthouses and courtrooms are especially vulnerable targets due to fact they are not only government facilities but also where our criminal justice system operates. With many potential targets utilizing the courthouse daily, including defendants, victims, family and domestic parties, judges and numerous county officials, disruptions are on the rise.
Courthouse/courtroom incidents range from minor disruptions such as picketing to physical assault and even murder. Regardless of your experience, there is no assurance that violence will not happen in your court. The question is not “if it will happen but when?”

Course Objectives:

Violent Court Incidents/Case Studies – By examining in detail past court incidents and case studies, students will be able to begin the process of accessing their own courtroom, courthouse, parking lots, grounds and current security systems and protocols.
Legal Issues of Courtroom/Courthouse Security – This session will cover case law in order to prepare each student with a working knowledge of what they “can” and “can’t” do legally.
Overview of Courtroom Security – This session will cover and discuss profiles of those involved in courtroom/courthouse incidents, various stages of the proceeding in which incidents and disruptions are more likely to occur, and prepare the students with a background in statistics to better prepare them for potential incidents.
Daily Operational Concerns for Courtroom/Courthouse Security – By examining the “5 Elements of Courthouse/Courtroom Security” a foundation for security begins to develop with court security personnel, court tenants, policies and procedures and the securing of the physical facility.
Prisoner/Defendant Security – This session will cover how to prepare for and minimize disruptions from in-custody defendants, transportation pitfalls, various restraints, communications, searches, juveniles and a myriad of topics dealing with court appearances.
High Risk/Critical Situations – This session will be devoted to high risk trials, sequestered juries, protests and many other situations that there is time to prepare, implement and execute a appropriate plan to mitigate the risks.
Bomb Threats/Natural Disasters and Other Emergencies – There is the potential for a wide variety of emergency situations to arise at a courthouse, oftentimes with little or no warning. This session gives the students an overview of potential problems, and prepares them with plans and procedures to implement to properly prepare for these types of emergency situations.
Sovereign Citizens – This session will give an overview to all students to the potential issues and the tactics used by sovereign citizens, from simple disruptions to dangerous life threatening situations.

About the Instructor’s:

Lt. Chris Collins graduated from University of Illinois with a degree in Criminology and began his law enforcement career with the Kane County Sheriff’s Office in 1990 as an Auxiliary Deputy.  In 1993 he attended the Police Training Institute at University of Illinois where he graduated first in his class and was awarded the Clifford Van Meeter Award for academic excellence.  Over his 32 years in law enforcement Chris has served in most every conceivable capacity at the Sheriff’s Office, including patrol, investigations, civil process, community policing, and administration.  He has served as a FTO, SWAT, Traffic Enforcement, and Negotiations Response Team Officer.  He holds numerous professional certifications and graduated from Northwestern’s School of Police Staff and Command in 2009.  He has supervised patrol, investigations, civil process, and the Office of Professional Standards as both a Sergeant and Lieutenant. Chris enjoys teaching and speaking, and is an Illinois Certified Crisis Intervention Instructor as well as a CIT International certified CIT Coordinator.  His speaking credits include numerous local and regional organizations, as well as the Illinois State NAMI Conference.  At home Chris enjoys spending time outdoors; camping with his dogs (Ellie an Australian Shepherd and Piper a Border Collie); traveling; and cooking.

Acting Lieutenant Heather Hansen began her career in Law Enforcement in 1989. She served as a corrections officer, probation officer and was a police and fire dispatcher. In 1995 she was commissioned as a State Trooper with the Illinois State Police. As a Trooper in the Chicago area, Heather was assigned to a special enforcement team that focused on gangs, guns, drugs, reckless drivers and DUIs. She has served in many additional roles in the last thirty years.

Twelve years of Heather’s career with the I.S.P. was spent as a crime scene investigator in the south suburbs of Chicago. She was the crime scene investigator for over 1200 major cases including hundreds of death investigations, 275 homicides, (including scenes with multiple deaths and entire families) and cases covered on a national basis.  She received the Department Medal of Achievement for creating the State of Illinois five-week crime scene investigators curriculum. Heather served as the Coordinator of the CSI course and trained and certified hundreds of officers as crime scene investigators for the State Police and 90 additional police departments. Heather has been qualified in State Criminal and Federal Court as an Expert Witness in Crime Scene Investigation.

Heather has worked for the North Eastern Multi-Regional Training Corporation for the last 18 years. One area of her career that she is most proud of is that she has trained and collaborated with over 4500 law enforcement officers in the areas of Lead Homicide Investigator, Instructor Development, Career Survival, Fingerprinting, Footwear, Weapons, Biology/DNA, Tool Marks, Courtroom Testimony and working crime scenes from discovery of the first piece of evidence to courtroom conviction. Notable highlights of Heather’s testimonies include a life sentence for an offender that ambushed and murdered a Metra Railroad Police Officer; and a 126 year sentence for an offender who, with a juvenile accomplice, committed a home invasion, sexual assault and kidnapping of a woman terrorizing her and using her own vehicle during commission of the crimes. Currently, Heather is an instructor with 4 mobile training units throughout Illinois.

Heather has ascended the ranks and was promoted from Master Sergeant to Acting Lieutenant in 2019. She currently serves as Lieutenant of patrol and the Operations officer for 4 counties west of the Chicagoland area, at District 16 of the Illinois State Police.  Heather also serves as a crisis and hostage negotiator on the Northern Swat and Crisis Negotiations Team.

Finally, Heather is most comfortable and inspired with the criminal patrol she sees from great officers every day. As crime rates rise across the Country she focuses on solid investigative techniques, identifying physical evidence that merits convictions in the eyes of jurors and our justice system.

FOCUS™ Vehicle Fighting Tactics

Instructor: Al Bello

September 24-25, 2026

 8am – 4pm

 Class will meet at: Tazewell County Sheriff’s Office Range, 21302 Illinois Route 9, Tremont IL

Enrollment Deadline: September 17, 2026

Course Size: Max 20

Course Objective

One With The Gun® – Vehicle Fighting Tactics is a 16-hour, two-day, live-fire tactical firearms course built specifically for sworn law enforcement personnel. The course blends classroom discussion, dry rehearsal, demonstration, and live-fire practical exercises to teach officers how to think, move, communicate, and fight effectively in and around vehicles. Students will learn the ballistic realities of common vehicle components, the tactical strengths and limitations of vehicles as cover, the mechanics of firing from inside a vehicle, and the methods by which two-officer teams can survive and respond to an ambush initiated while they remain seated inside the car.

The course is also built to satisfy practical Illinois mandate alignment where vehicle tactics, high-risk traffic stop considerations, cover, concealment, time, use-of-force law, and de-escalation principles intersect. Students will work through both individual and partner-based problems involving in-car engagement, exit-to-cover problems, pillar-based defensive shooting, external vehicle fighting positions, communication under ambush, and post-engagement tactical organization. The overall objective is to produce officers who are more survivable, more deliberate, and more tactically competent when forced to fight in and around vehicles.

*Students must be physically capable of elevating their heart rates safely and without medical concern.

*Students MUST be of average physical fitness or higher. (POWER test standard)

*Students MUST either be certified firearms instructors or have at least 2 shooting courses in their training history within the last 18 months.

*Students MUST bring 600 rds of PISTOL ammunition for the weapon they will shoot.

*Students MUST bring 200 rds of RIFLE ammunition for the weapon they will shoot.

*NO SCAR OR AK Variant Weapons are permitted. Only M4/M16 duty rifle platforms are

allowed.

*Students MUST have an appropriate holster for their weapon/optic/light combo.

*Students MUST bring their duty belts.

*Students MUST bring their vests.

*Students MUST bring eye and ear protection.

*Students MUST bring 20 “dummy” training rounds for their weapon.

*Students MUST bring at least 3 training magazines for their weapon. 5 is preferred.

*Students MUST have an optic mounted on their handguns prior to arriving to class.

*Students MUST have their optic zeroed prior to arriving to class.

*Students should bring a knee pad.

*Student should bring a baseball hat.

*Student should dress for the weather if the range is outdoor.

Course Goals

The goals of this course are to:

1. Develop officer competence in surviving and responding to deadly-force encounters initiated in and around vehicles.
2. Improve student understanding of the ballistic and structural realities of vehicles, including which portions of the vehicle offer better protection and which do not.
3. Train students to shoot safely and effectively from within a vehicle and during rapid transition from inside the vehicle to exterior positions of advantage.
4. Strengthen two-officer team communication and coordinated response to a vehicle ambush while still seated or while exiting under threat.
5. Improve the student’s ability to use vehicle pillars, wheels, engine compartment areas, and external geometry more intelligently during defensive engagement.
6. Reinforce the lawful, proportional, and tactically sound application of force during vehicle-based encounters, including post-stop and occupant-related legal considerations.
7. Enhance officer survivability through better use of cover, concealment, movement, communication, and discipline in one of the most compressed and dangerous tactical environments in policing.

Juvenile Specialist Skills/Juvenile Officer Course

Instructor: Brian Galske, Danielle Butts, and Catherine Hundley

September 28-October 1, 2026

8am – 5pm

 Class will meet at: Peru PD, 2650 Peoria Street, Peru, IL 

Enrollment Deadline:  September 21, 2026

Course Size:  Minimum 15 – Maximum – 25

Bring a charged laptop all handouts will be provided on thumb drive

Course Objective

This four-day, 32-hour program has been designed by expert practitioners from the fields of juvenile law, social work, and law enforcement to assist recently assigned juvenile officers in the legal, moral, and social issues that they will encounter in their positions as juvenile specialists. Public Act 88-7 requires “Juvenile Officers” to complete a course as prescribed by the Board. This course meets that requirement.

Course Overview:

The focus of this course is primarily to provide police officers with the skills, knowledge, and abilities needed to perform their duties as juvenile officers. In this unique role, juvenile officers not only enforce laws, but also respond compassionately and effectively to family problems. They serve as protectors of society by investigating criminal acts for findings of delinquency and as supporters of youths by helping them to grow out of adolescence without experiencing the stigma of police involvement.

Specific topics to be addressed in this program include the following:

• The role and responsibility of the Juvenile Officer
• Gaining perspectives on the assignment
• Child development
• Child psychology
• Communicating with adolescents and parents
• Adolescents and electronic influences
• Intervention and prevention strategies
• Article I of the Juvenile Court Act: General provisions
• Article II of the Juvenile Court Act: Abused, neglected, and dependent minors
• Article III of the Juvenile Court Act: Minors requiring authoritative intervention
• Article IV of the Juvenile Court Act: Addicted Minors
• Article V of the Juvenile Court Act: Delinquent minors
• Psychodynamics of child abuse
• The role of law enforcement and social services
• Protective custody • Investigative techniques
• Preparing child abuse cases for court
• Sexual abuse and sexual exploitation investigations

Course Goals:

The goals of this course are to make officers particularly aware of the demographics of the burgeoning youth population, which is becoming increasingly more vulnerable to gang recruitment, violent crime, sexual exploitation, alcohol, and drug abuse, and carrying weapons. Officers will become uniquely aware of these problems and the needs facing the children, adolescents, young adults, and parents that they will be serving in their capacity as juvenile officers. Throughout the program, participation in supportive networks such as Juvenile Officer Associations, Gang Task Forces, and high school liaison programs will be discussed and encouraged.

This four-day, 32-hour program has been designed by expert practitioners from the fields of juvenile law, social work, and law enforcement to assist recently assigned juvenile officers in the legal, moral, and social issues that they will encounter in their positions as juvenile specialists. Public Act 88-7 requires “Juvenile Officers” to complete a course as prescribed by the Board. This course meets that requirement.

Course Overview:

The focus of this course is primarily to provide police officers with the skills, knowledge, and abilities needed to perform their duties as juvenile officers. In this unique role, juvenile officers not only enforce laws, but also respond compassionately and effectively to family problems. They serve as protectors of society by investigating criminal acts for findings of delinquency and as supporters of youths by helping them to grow out of adolescence without experiencing the stigma of police involvement.

Specific topics to be addressed in this program include the following:

• The role and responsibility of the Juvenile Officer
• Gaining perspectives on the assignment
• Child development
• Child psychology
• Communicating with adolescents and parents
• Adolescents and electronic influences
• Intervention and prevention strategies
• Article I of the Juvenile Court Act: General provisions
• Article II of the Juvenile Court Act: Abused, neglected, and dependent minors
• Article III of the Juvenile Court Act: Minors requiring authoritative intervention
• Article IV of the Juvenile Court Act: Addicted Minors
• Article V of the Juvenile Court Act: Delinquent minors
• Psychodynamics of child abuse
• The role of law enforcement and social services
• Protective custody • Investigative techniques
• Preparing child abuse cases for court
• Sexual abuse and sexual exploitation investigations

Course Goals:

The goals of this course are to make officers particularly aware of the demographics of the burgeoning youth population, which is becoming increasingly more vulnerable to gang recruitment, violent crime, sexual exploitation, alcohol, and drug abuse, and carrying weapons. Officers will become uniquely aware of these problems and the needs facing the children, adolescents, young adults, and parents that they will be serving in their capacity as juvenile officers. Throughout the program, participation in supportive networks such as Juvenile Officer Associations, Gang Task Forces, and high school liaison programs will be discussed and encouraged.

ITOA- Rapid Response and Depolyment Concepts

Instructor: Tim Margis and Paul Peterson

November 14, 2026

8am – 4pm

Class will meet at: LaSalle-Peru Township High School, 514 Chartes Street, LaSalle, IL 

Enrollment Deadline:  November 7, 2026

Course Size:  Minimum –15 Maximum – 20

Course Objective:

This one-day, 8-hour course is designed to provide officers with the skills to perform a solo response to active ongoing life-threatening situations. Students will be taught immediate action tactics in the ITOA format to better prepare them for on duty situations that may require them to make entry into an active threat situation alone.

Course Content:

Immediate action is the swift and immediate deployment of law enforcement resources to a life-threatening active threat situation. These situations require immediate action and the rapid deployment of law enforcement. Failure to act has catastrophic consequences resulting in death and/or great bodily harm to innocent people.

These incidents may also necessitate the immediate and rapid deployment of personnel to contain and prevent the escape of an armed and dangerous offender, or rescue a downed officer and/or civilian. Topics to be addressed include:

• Individual movement
• Individual room clearing tactics
• Use-of-force and safety priorities
• Equipment and identification requirements
• Linking up with other first responders and integration of other personnel and agencies
• Verbal skills
• Deployment and firearms handling
