Membership Types

Colleges and universities may join IACLEA as an institutional member. Each institutions requires an Institutional Representative who manages the membership and roster.  Up to ten personnel may receive full member benefits, and the ENTIRE agency receives member pricing on IACLEA trainings and programs.

An Institutional Representative must:

  • be a full-time employee of the institution or secondary school and not a contract security service or private company employee;
  • occupy an executive level position; and
  • have oversight and responsibility for public safety operations at their respective institution.

Dues are calculated based on your institution’s full time enrollment. If you aren’t sure of your institution’s membership type, click here to search the database for institution type and full time enrollment.

Our signature programs include:

Training

IACLEA’s Annual Conference features a first-class educational program, networking, and products and services exposition. With its Training on Request offerings, IACLEA has flipped the traditional training model upside down and made it easier and more affordable to participate in IACLEA’s expanding campus public safety training opportunities. See an IACLEA training you like, but can’t make it? Or want training for numerous people in your agency—but don’t have the budget to fly people all over the country? IACLEA may be able to bring in-person or virtual training to you. You do the on-the-ground work: assemble the participants, secure a location, set up the venue. We send the trainer, at a greatly reduced cost than sending numerous people to training locations.

Accreditation

IACLEA Accreditation constitutes the recognition that a department conforms to the highest professional standards for campus law enforcement and protective services.

Government Relations

IACLEA members provide their expertise to federal, state, and local lawmakers, policymakers, and federal administration representatives. As experts in campus public safety, we strive to ensure policy at all levels helps us keep our officers and communities safe.

Communications & Publications

The Association’s quarterly The Journal is the premier professional publication for campus public safety officials. The Bulletin is a weekly newsletter distributed to members on Wednesdays. IACLEA is active on social media to inform our members and share their achievements. And Association leaders are frequently quoted in the media.
