Indiana Law Enforcement Training Board

Summary

The Indiana Law Enforcement Training Board (ILETB) is a 23-member body created under IC 5-2-1-3 as a criminal justice agency of the state. Approximately 15 members are law enforcement representatives (superintendent of ISP, chiefs, sheriffs, academy commanders) and 8 are civilians drawn from journalism, education, nonprofits, and elected officials; all are appointed by the Governor for 4-year terms (or while holding the qualifying position, whichever is shorter). Under IC 5-2-1-12.5, the Board may revoke, suspend, modify, or restrict any officer's law enforcement certificate for misconduct grounds including felony-equivalent conduct, misdemeanors showing violent propensity, and false certification information. Decertification hearings are conducted by a five-member subcommittee (3 LE members + 2 civilians). The Board's decertification decisions are binding statewide. No explicit subpoena power is granted in the statute; decertification proceedings rely on referrals and submitted evidence.
