SPRINGFIELD In recognition of Black History Month, the Illinois State Police (ISP) along with the Illinois Association of Black Law Enforcement Officers (ABLE) are joining together to raise awareness of the contributions of African-Americans in the ISP and the communities in which they serve.
Nov. 20, 1984, ABLE was incorporated by the State of Illinois. ABLE is as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization which strives to ensure every possible effort is being made to provide equal opportunity for all persons to engage in gainful employment within the Illinois State Police. ABLE works collectively with the department toward the implementation of effective programs to achieve parity for minority officers throughout the rank structure. Furthermore, ABLE supports the continued training, technical assistance and consideration to its members to enable them to more effectively pursue career opportunities within the department.
