Police Merit Board

The Illinois State Police Merit Board is dedicated to ensuring a fair and equitable merit process for selecting Illinois State Trooper candidates and for the promotion and discipline of Illinois State Police officers. Their mission is to eliminate political influence in these critical processes, fostering integrity within the state's law enforcement community.

The Board oversees various applicant processes, including cadet recruitment and promotional tests, while also offering resources such as a fee waiver application for eligible candidates and an optional study guide for the recruitment exam. Regular meetings are held to address board activities and policy updates, reinforcing their commitment to transparency and accountability.
