The Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System (ILEAS) is proud to announce that it has awarded $6,834.00 to the Mason County Sheriff’s Office for ruggedized computer mounted in patrol cars.  These state of the art
computers provide the ability for
officers to access state and
national crime file and intelligence
databases and communicate digitally
with other law enforcement agencies
statewide.

As part of this grant program, ILEAS
has provided $3,075,300 to 205 law
enforcement agencies-both police
and sheriffs-throughout the State
of Illinois for 450 ruggedized squad
car computers.  These funds came from Federal Homeland Security grants through the Illinois Terrorism Task Force.  In today’s economic environment, the $6,834 cost of each of these devices is outside the financial means of many agencies.

ILEAS is an inter-governmental coalition representing over 900 local law enforcement agencies and over 95% of all sworn officers in the State of Illinois.  ILEAS coordinates significant requests for mutual aid, provides grants and coordinates other law enforcement related programs.  The mission of ILEAS is to meet the needs of law enforcement throughout the State of Illinois in matters of mutual aid, emergency response, and the combining of resources for public safety.
