NEMRT's voting membership consists of municipal and county law enforcement agencies whose
units of government have voluntarily signed an Intergovernmental Agreement, or have passed a
Resolution and Adoption of existing Intergovernmental Agreements, which establishes "NEMRT,
INC." as a mobile team in-service training unit. Member departments are invited to the Annual
Election of Directors, held on the first Tuesday of March, to cast their votes.
Member department Intergovernmental Agreements are self-renewing and do not require annual
processing unless membership is dropped for more than one year. Then the Agreements will be
addressed as a new membership again.
Non-voting member departments are federal and state law enforcement agencies who are eligible to
participate in regional law enforcement in-service training under the Illinois Intergovernmental Law
Enforcement Officers In-Service Training Act, but are precluded from signing an
Intergovernmental Agreement due to the structure of their governing rules. In such cases,
department administrators may contract with NEMRT, Inc./Mobile Team Unit #3, to allow their law
enforcement personnel to participate in the Region's in-service training efforts at an annual rate
established by the NEMRT, Inc. Advisory Board. Non-voting member departments are precluded
from serving on the Board of Directors or voting on matters that affect NEMRT, Inc./Mobile Team
Unit #3 operations, policies, and/or procedures.
Non-member departments are federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies that decline formal
membership in the ASSIST Program. They remain eligible to participate and attend in-service
training under the In-Service Training Act, but are required to pay tuition as listed in the course
descriptions. Non-member agencies are billed for attendance after the completion of each course.
