Staff Report-
Due to a significant outbreak of COVID-19 among students at the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy in Plainfield, the Law Enforcement Training Board has made the decision to temporarily suspend the 2021-224 class at ILEA.
As of Wednesday morning, 10 students had tested positive, and nine additional students are being retested after initial results were inconclusive, according to a provided news release. Additionally, 50 students must isolate because they are symptomatic or quarantine because they are considered close contacts of a positive case. The majority of the 117 students are unvaccinated.
The Indiana Department of Health will provide specific protocols, such as cohorting students and masking requirements, for all ILEA operations.
