Police Law Institute 3-year subscription to the Illinois Monthly Legal Update - Purchase History
History
The Police Law Institute (PLI) educates and empowers officers by providing superior online legal training. The primary goal is to keep our officers informed and safe. The legal training assists officers in effectively providing law enforcement services to our community while reducing the risk for civil litigation. Police Law Institute training is one avenue used to accomplish this goal. Being the premier nationwide provider of online legal training, who tailors the training to each state’s respective statutes, this is a sole source provider.
In 2021, the Police Department signed a 3-year subscription with PLI in exchange for a rate reduced pricing from $135.00 per subscription down to $95.00 each. This subscription auto-renewed at the same discounted rate on January 1, 2025, for the next 3-year subscription through December 2027.
The Police Department recommends the purchase of a 3-year subscription to the Illinois Monthly Legal Update and Review at a rate of $95.00 per license user through December 2027. This equates to $11,210.00 per year, for a total of $33,630.00 for the entire three years.
