well I was just wondering what the process was for after an officer has been red flagged

- Notification: The officer and their department will be notified.
- Hearing: A hearing may be scheduled to review the findings.
- Decision: A decision is made regarding certification status, including any disciplinary actions or requirements for remediation.

so they could decide to decertify them

ok and if decertification is the choice, can the officer ever been re-certified
Case Rating: *
If an officer is decertified by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board (ILETSB), the possibility of re-certification depends on the specific circumstances and reasons for decertification. Generally, re-certification is challenging and would likely involve meeting stringent criteria, possibly including additional training or demonstrating rehabilitation.
Is there a specific aspect you are concerned about?
