The Illinois Drug Enforcement Officers Association is a non-profit association founded in 1989. Currently, the association is governed by a Board consisting of supervisors from the Chicago Police Department, Lake County Metropolitan Enforcement Group, DuPage County Metropolitan Enforcement Group, Joliet Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad, Cook County Sheriff’s Police, Illinois State Police and the Drug Enforcement Administration

The association believes effective narcotics enforcement is predicated on establishing viable lines of communication and coordination of efforts among drug law enforcement entities. We strive to provide narcotics enforcement personnel with training appropriate to their mission. To this end, we hold statewide training sessions each year, which in the past, have included subjects such as the Erosion Process and Police Corruption, Courtroom Survival Techniques, Developing and Handling Informants, Undercover Operations, and Clandestine Laboratories.

The membership is composed of those sworn law enforcement officers whose primary responsibility is the enforcement of narcotics laws in the State of Illinois. Membership includes a membership card and welcome letter. During the year, you will also receive fliers on IDEOA training programs being held throughout the state as well as information on IDEOA's annual training conference.
