Description
A consortium of over 900 local governments established pursuant to the Constitution of the State of Illinois (Ill. Const. Art. VII, sec. 10), the Illinois Intergovernmental Cooperation Act (5 ILCS 220/1 et seq.), the Local Governmental and Governmental Employees Tort Immunity Act (745 ILCS 10/7–101 et seq.) and the Illinois Municipal Code (65 ILCS 5/11–1–2.1). ILEAS is the agency that the IEMA relies on to organize large mutual aid responses of local law enforcement – both intra– and inter–state. Responding to a request of the Governor, ILEAS deployed 300 local officers to the Hurricanes Katrina/Rita disasters in Louisiana. ILEAS has also sent officers in August of 2008 to St. Paul, Minnesota for the Republican National Convention and in September of 2009 to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for the G20 summit. https://www.ileas.org/index.php?q=main/about–ileas
