At Code 3 Concepts LLC we understand the changing law enforcement environment in Illinois. The SAFE-T Act represented a monumental shift in the way law enforcement operates in Illinois. We want police officers to feel confident that they are doing their jobs legally to protect themselves and the public.
Code 3 Concepts LLC offers use of force training for police officers. Our signature course, "Use of Force Under the SAFE-T Act" is certified by ILETSB as of June 2025. The course was born after it was presented to a regional crowd control team and revealed a desire for more training of this type. If your department would like to develop a custom training course, please contact us and we can work with you to develop the course.
At Code 3 Concepts LLC we want police officers to truly understand the law and the limits, responsibilities, and protections afforded to them. We have found that many officers misunderstand the concept of liability. Tactical errors are avoidable by first understanding what a police officer's legal responsibility is and then deciding on a course of action.
