This expansion is the first of its kind since the ILEA campus opened its doors in 1975.
INDIANAPOLIS – Governor Eric Holcomb today cut the ribbon on the historic expansion of the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA) training facility.
In 2021, Holcomb supported new funding for ILEA and signed HEA 1006 into law providing a $70 million appropriation. Through this and additional federal funding, ILEA has benefitted from a total of $96 million in needed upgrades.
ILEA provides basic training to more than 600 Hoosier law enforcement officers annually and is the state’s only residential facility to house student officers who are in training from across the state.
Included in the expansion is a scenario-based training village, updated classrooms and training facilities, Indiana State Police offices, emergency vehicle track and a new dormitory.
This expansion is the first of its kind since the ILEA campus opened its doors in 1975, allowing Indiana to modernize law enforcement education throughout the state.
“Public safety is foundational to every community, no matter how large or small, and I couldn’t be prouder of the strategic investments we’ve made to modernize and improve law enforcement education throughout all of Indiana,” said Gov. Holcomb. “This new ILEA expansion will provide unique hands-on training to ensure officers are prepped and ready for their jobs ahead.”
The project completion date is set for March 2026.
