Retiree IROCC Info

This appeared in the comments and in a few emails that seem to be going around:

• The communist State of Illinois will be trying to take away retirees right to carry a firearm. Read the article below on page 4 of the FEBRUARY 2026 Retired CPD Newsletter below.
  
  ALSO, there is a NEW DATABASE (see below) where you can look yourself up to see if you are still certified as a law enforcement officer. If you are de-certified, you can not carry a weapon as a retiree. Thank Pritzker.

The first link goes to the catalogue of Retiree Newsletters and the February issue seems to address some of this. It seems that the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board can revoke your "retired in good standing" status for pretty much anything job related going back years - sustained CR numbers, Use of Force complaints, allegations of Domestics, etc. 

They can also revoke it for anything post-employment, including misdemeanor-type allegations.

The newsletter says that Lodge 7 is attempting some legislative maneuvers in Springfield, but no progress is listed.
