The North East Multi-Regional Training Instructors Library In-Service Training Tape collection are available for loan to sworn law enforcement agencies in Illinois. Out-of-state law enforcement agencies may contact the Instructors Library about the possibility of arranging a loan. How to Borrow North East Multi-Regional Training In-Service Training Tapes

How to Borrow Tapes: Call, write, or Fax NEMRT's librarian (that's Sarah Cole). Calling is probably the most effective way to contact her, because you can get immediate feedback on what tapes are available. In order to insure that borrowers are authorized through their law enforcement agency to borrow videos, please submit the initial lending request on agency letterhead (not a fax cover sheet or internal memo form). Also provide the name of the department’s training officer.

If a requested tape is in the library at the time of the request, it will be sent to the borrower’s agency immediately. If the tape is not in, the borrower's name will be put on the tape's waiting list, and it will be sent as soon as possible. The due date--the date by which the tape must be back at NEMRT--is indicated on the loan receipt included with each loan. Since a lot of the tapes have long waiting lists, prompt return is appreciated not only by the Instructors' Library, but the other departments using the video collection. If the tape is going to be late, though, call the librarian so she won't nag you about the tape's return.

As for the waiting list, member departments take priority over non-member departments, and departments needing the program for in-service training on a certain date take priority over those that don't. In order to insure that the greatest number of departments can benefit from the videos, a maximum of five programs is sent to any one department at one time. If the tape is not returned on time, the borrower will receive at least one overdue notice. If the tape is not returned after a calendar month from its due date, the agency will be billed for the tape's replacement cost. Since things do occasionally get lost in the mail, it is recommended that the tapes be returned by UPS or be insured if mailed, to avoid being billed for a loss that is the post office's fault. The current video Circulation sheet includes a section for recording return dates and methods of return. Please keep this information for your records.

If there are any questions about or problems with the tapes, the loan period, or anything else, just give the NEMRT librarian (that's Sarah Cole) a call. Thank you very much for your help!

DISCLAIMER for library material usage North East Multi-Regional Training provides these audio and video collections for use in supplementing law enforcement agency training programs. The media programs included in this collection, however, may not necessarily always present accurate and correct information with regard to Illinois law and appropriate law enforcement procedures and practices. Furthermore, applicable departmental policy and procedure must be considered and emphasized when viewing or listening to media programs to insure that information presented does not negate and/or otherwise contradict established practice. Finally, North East Multi-Regional Training and its instructors' library are not responsible for the practical application of any knowledge and skill gained or derived as a result of viewing the media programs offered in these collections. NEMRT Video Catalog (Fiscal Year 2008 -- April 2007), p. 2 How this Catalog Works: (How to keep your video catalog up-to-date)

This video list is in a loose-leaf, updatable format. It’s good for the whole training year. During the training year, what you will receive with the regular NEMRT Catalog of Training Courses are:

A list of new videos and their descriptions, and A new subject index

When they arrive, put the list of new videos in the Supplement section of the catalog, and replace the subject index section. This way, your catalog will always be up-to-date.

If you need any supplements, call Librarian Sarah Cole, and she’ll be glad to send you what you need. Tip for using this catalog: The videos are numbered in the order in which we receive them. Therefore, as a rule, the smaller the number, the older the video. Old isn’t necessarily bad or outdated, but remember the newest materials have the biggest numbers. Acronyms:

The Instructors Library uses several acronyms in describing the videos. They would be important to know, because they help viewers assess the content of the programs. The acronyms used most frequently are:

ALERT: Advanced Law Enforcement Readiness Training. ALERT works the way L.E.NET did: agencies sub- scribe to their service, and receive a training video each month. The company began producing programs in 1994.

CORT: Corrections Officer Readiness Training. CORT is a division of ALERT, and works the way L.E.NET did: agencies subscribe to their service, and receive a training video each month. The company began producing corrections-specific programs in 1997.

EENET: Emergency Education Network. EENET programs are generally teleconferences from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

JOB: Jail Operations Bulletin. Those with that marking by their number refer to the Jail Operations Bulletins of Video, produced by the American Jail Association.

L.E.NET: Law Enforcement Training and Information Network. Agencies subscribed to their service, and received a training video each month. This video producer was taken over by LETN in the early 1990s, so any programs identified as L.E.NET programs date from about 1987 to 1992. The information will probably still apply for your training need, but examine them before presenting them.

LESTN: Law Enforcement Satellite Training Network. The FBI Teleconferences are LESTN broadcasts.

LESAT: Law Enforcement Satellite Academy of Tennessee. The University of Tennessee produces teleconference on various topics, under this collective title.

LETN: Law Enforcement Training Network. Ordinarily, LETN programs are only available to agencies subscribing to their satellite broadcasts. The videos NEMRT has from them are of two kinds. Some are pro- grams that were made generally available to law enforcement agencies, like the Murder on Tape program, or the seat belt videos. The others are programs made available to L.E.NET subscribers, when LETN absorbed L.E.NET in the early 1990s.

NEMRT: North East Multi-Regional Training. But you knew that. NEMRT Video Catalog (Fiscal Year 2008 -- April 2007), p. 3 POST: (California Commission on) Peace Officer Standards and Training. The Instructors Library has a number of their telecourses and satellite broadcasts of training videos.

Keeping track of your agency’s video viewing

When a borrower received a video loan, a circulation sheep, indicating the programs’ due date, along with other useful information should accompany it. Also included should be a viewer roster. Although completing the roster is not required, it is a convenient way to record viewers for the agency’s records, as well as a helpful way the NEMRT Library uses to show the video collection is being used. A copy of the roster is included below. Just fill out the requested information, make a copy for the agency’s records, and send a copy back with the videos. As always, we thank you for your assistance!
