Training

IACLEA’s Annual Conference features a first-class educational program, networking, and products and services exposition. With its Training on Request offerings, IACLEA has flipped the traditional training model upside down and made it easier and more affordable to participate in IACLEA’s expanding campus public safety training opportunities. See an IACLEA training you like, but can’t make it? Or want training for numerous people in your agency—but don’t have the budget to fly people all over the country? IACLEA may be able to bring in-person or virtual training to you. You do the on-the-ground work: assemble the participants, secure a location, set up the venue. We send the trainer, at a greatly reduced cost than sending numerous people to training locations.
