Provides that the Board shall be responsible for establishing basic curriculum for law enforcement officers, county correctional officers, and court security officers. Provides that the Board shall certify in-service courses to be delivered by Mobile Training Units, the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board Executive Institute, and other providers. Provides that the curriculum for probationary law enforcement officers shall include courses concerning foundations of law enforcement, human behaviors, investigations, fundamentals of criminal law, law enforcement patrol, law enforcement officer tactics, and officer wellness. Requires the Board to establish minimum basic training requirements that probationary county corrections officers and probationary court security officers must satisfactorily complete before the probationary county corrections officers and probationary court security officers are eligible for permanent employment as county corrections officers or probationary court security officers. Provides that the Board shall adopt rules and minimum standards for the 30 hours of in-service trainings that officers must complete every 3 years.

Requires notice of the inactivation to be provided by the Board to the current and prior employer. Provides that a person hired to serve as a court security officer must obtain from the Board a certificate (i) attesting to the officer's successful completion of the training course; (ii) attesting to the officer's satisfactory completion of a training program of similar content and number of hours that has been found acceptable by the Board under the provisions of this Act; or (iii) attesting to the Board's determination that the training course is unnecessary because of the person's extensive prior law enforcement experience.
