The Department of Justice (DOJ) awarded a cooperative agreement to the IACP to create Elevate Blue, a suite of best-in-class training for law enforcement. Working with a reputable human resources research firm, the IACP gathered input from the field to identify training gaps, surveyed community organizations to integrate a community perspective, and verified the findings using top subject matter experts to ensure the learning objectives addressed the contemporary issues faced by today’s law enforcement.

Each topic will be certified by the IADLEST National Training Certification Program (NCP) and will meet all minimum standards for vendors providing law enforcement continuing education by ensuring the training content meets or exceeds quality standards set by any individual state certification requirements. The rigorous review process of NCP also ensures that training is accepted by all participating POST organizations around the nation for in-service or advanced training credit. 

The Elevate Blue training suite is constructed by an award-winning e-learning company using an adult-learning instructional sequence strategy. Through an interactive experience, the learner connects with the content, builds confidence with a foundation of knowledge, and engages with the material using real-world scenarios and instructive feedback.

The Elevate Blue training suite will be available  on IACPlearn, IACP’s own online learning platform and courses are free and can be taken anytime, anywhere, and on any device. The Elevate Blue training suite will be available in late 2023. For more information, contact elevateblue@theiacp.org.
