ILEA STUDENT SELECTION

The comprehensive student selection process for the ILEA eight-week program involves the vetting of prospective students within their own organizations, according to the criteria established by the first ICC. These criteria are the following:

1. Be nominated by their country without regard to race, color, or sex.
2. Be at least 25 years of age.
3. Be a regularly appointed, full-time law enforcement officer with a minimum of five years of substantially continuous law enforcement experience, who agrees to remain in law enforcement a minimum of three years after graduation.
4. Be in excellent physical condition, certified for strenuous physical exertion and regular participation in physical training and defensive tactics.
5. Be of good moral character and reputation and outstanding in the law enforcement profession.
6. Have at least a high school equivalency, with some level of university experience desirable. The candidate should show aptitude and interest in academic achievement.
7. While no regular background investigation is possible, records are reviewed to ensure there is no information which would preclude acceptance.
