ILETSB mandates the order in which some blocks of instruction are taught.
Requirements, Suggestions and Best Practices Sequencing of Blocks of Instruction The sequencing of content across the academy curriculum requires careful planning. In some instances, content in certain blocks must precede other blocks so that prerequisite student performance objectives (SPOs) are met and/or recruits are exposed to content that is foundational.
The Use of Force block of instruction must be taught before recruits can presented with content from the Control and Arrest Tactics and any of the eight Firearms Blocks of Instruction. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that Use of Force be taught early in the schedule allowing for Control and Arrest Tactics and the Firearms blocks can be interspersed throughout the schedule. Physical Skills and Personal Fitness should be scheduled throughout the academy.
The following blocks of instruction must be taught in the following sequence. Note that they need not be taught consecutively, but must precede each other in the following order: o Use of Force o Civil Rights and Civil Liability o Rights of the Accused o Laws of Admission o Interrogation of Suspects
It is recommended that the following blocks of instruction be taught in the following sequence. Note that they need not be taught consecutively, but that they should precede each other in the following order: o Illinois Vehicle Code and Bail Rule o Laws of Arrest, Search and Seizure (SPOs pertaining to investigative stops) o Vehicle Stops and Occupant Control o Citizen Handgun Ownership: Concealed Carry
