WHO WE ARE: The Institute for Criminal Justice Education is a nonprofit Alabama corporation that provides law enforcement training, develops courses and distributes research material relating to investigation, management and technology in the criminal justice arena.

WHO WE SERVE: Our services are furnished to governmental, corporate and security agencies who have a primary law enforcement function or a need for security protection. We also provide training for select companies, students and individuals demonstrating a valid need for law enforcement information. Because the funding for ICJE comes from a combination of tax-deductible gifts and grants, there is little or no cost to recipients. Training is conducted by POST certified instructors recognized as experts in their fields. Training provided by ICJE is conducted at times and locations convenient to law enforcement officers and their departments.

WHY THE NEED FOR ICJE? Beginning in 1997, when Alabama began requiring most of the state's law enforcement officers to receive at least twelve hours of continuing education annually or lose their certification, a serious financial burden was imposed on the more than five thousand officers in medium and small departments. The problem was compounded by cutbacks in traditional no-cost training by federal agencies such as the FBI. The need has been partially met through periodic free training sponsored by Faulkner University and Law Enforcement Training Services, LLC, with Faulkner and LETS instructors donating their time to the training. This training has been limited by geographical area and availability of instructors, and while it has been helpful to those officers receiving the training, a program with a much broader scope is urgently needed. To meet this need, ICJE was formed specifically to provide quality Peace Officers Standards and Training Commission (POST) certified training throughout Alabama at little or no cost to officers or their departments.

ADMINISTRATION: ICJE is governed by a Board of Directors who serve for three year terms.
