INTRODUCTION

The State Police Merit Board was established
by the State Police Act and consists of five
members appointed by the Governor and approved
by the Senate for six-year terms.  Its mission
is to remove political influence and provide a
fair and equitable merit process for the
selection of Illinois State trooper candidates
and the promotion and discipline of Illinois
State Police Officers.

There were no material findings of
noncompliance disclosed during our
examination.

AUDITORS' OPINION

We conducted a compliance examination of the
State Police Merit Board as required by the
Illinois State Auditing Act.  The State Police
Merit Board has no funds that require an audit
leading to an opinion on financial statements.
