Benevolence
“I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare.” – C.S. Lewis
The Illinois Truck Enforcement Association is taking a pro-active role to market and publicize charity and benevolent fundraising events sponsored by member employers, co-workers, or associations. The economic climate of our nation has brought on a spirit of fraternal and cooperative sharing to address the financial needs of those less fortunate. Traditional fundraising events usually do not have the resources to launch cost-effective internet advertising without taking from the funds meant to help the ones in need. Please browse through the fundraising events listed below and see if you can help somewhere.

What is the ITEA?
IN THE AUTUMN OF 2009, TEN SUBURBAN-CHICAGO POLICE OFFICERS WHO SPECIALIZE IN TRUCK ENFORCEMENT MET TOGETHER AND BEGAN THE ILLINOIS TRUCK ENFORCEMENT ASSOCIATION. WE ALL SHARE A COMMON VISION TO BRING TRUCK ENFORCEMENT TO A NEW LEVEL OF PROFESSIONALISM. LISTED BELOW ARE THE FOUNDATIONAL STATEMENTS WE ARE BUILDING THIS ORGANIZATION ON
Our Foundational Statements
The Illinois Truck Enforcement Association is founded on the
following principles and values.
Safe Roads
As police officers, our primary commitment is to protect the citizens we serve. The people in our communities have invested greatly in law enforcement and the highway infrastructure they depend on.
One Voice
We believe a plurality of law enforcement voices speaking together as one voice prohibits personal opinions from claiming authority that does not truly represent all. Credibility and trust in truck enforcement officers begins where individuality ends.
Partnership
Effective truck enforcement does not rest solely on the shoulders of the police, but depends upon cooperation with the trucking industry and the legal community. When all three professions partner together, fair and reasonable enforcement can happen.
Uniformity
The laws that regulate trucking in Illinois are complicated and extensive, which leads to enforcement that is not uniform across local boundaries. It is our goal to create standards of practice that correctly interprets the law while providing a baseline for consistent enforcement across jurisdictions.
Resource
The trucking industry is burdened by the need to work within the differing policies and procedures of hundreds of municipalities and counties throughout the State of Illinois. We seek to build a central resource point for the trucking industry to provide a database of information critical to their operations.
