2024 Iadlest Sourcebook

The 2024 IADLEST Sourcebook contains data compiled from the 50 state criminal justice officer standards and training organizations in the United States. IADLEST was formed in 1987 from an earlier association. Beginning with some historical information from past decades in comparison to 2024, the Sourcebook reveals a brief overview on how the states have engaged with the various criminal justice officer occupations over time. The areas that the 2024 Sourcebook data covers includes general administration and funding of POST agencies, an overview of state standards, information on the basic training of law enforcement officers, state corrections officers, jail officers, state probation and parole officers, communication officers/dispatchers, civil process service officers, pre-employment training standards, standards for instructors, officer in-service training standards, e-Learning efforts among the states, decertification standards, and much more. The 2024 IADLEST Sourcebook is the only document of its type that is produced by the state agencies responsible for the employment and training standards of law enforcement officers in the United States.
