  I will be sworn in on the 19th and report to the Illinois State Police Academy on the 21st. I will be a recruit (local LEO), not a cadet (ISP).
  Have any of the Illinois LEO's been to the ISP Academy for training and if so, what advice do you have?
  The dept. that I will be with feels that the ISP Academy is a better school than the others that are available.
  I would really appreciate anyone who has been through the ISP program to give me some advice on what to expect when I am down there and also what do I need to take with me?
 
  Thanks, any and all advice is appreciated!

Every LEO in our state has to go through the state academy.  Same advice as any academy, keep your mouth closed and your ears open.  Your opinion is not what they want, they want to know you will follow orders and SOP.
