Police

This association was founded by police officers to support police officers. The ITEA is here to provide you with the resources you need to practice truck enforcement in the most professional way possible. So many other specialty areas of police work have their own groups for this purpose, and we are here to provide that service to the truck enforcement officers of Illinois. Whether you are new to truck enforcement, or have been practicing for awhile, you already know the difficulties that come along with the assignment. You realize the need for access to other truck enforcement officers. You have found yourself in situations with no clear line for enforcement, and do not want to make a poor decision. Much like field training after the police academy, you have learned the textbook is not always applicable on the street. It has happened to all of us, and our goal is to minimize the confusion so you can do your job to the best of your abilities.
