The application process requires a candidate to submit a written application, a copy of their valid driver's license, a copy of their valid firearms owner's identification card (FOOD) card, and a copy of their current certificate of completion from a state-approved SRO training program. The application process includes the following: 1. Application: Candidates must submit a written application for SRO eligibility, which includes providing information on their educational background, work experience, and any other relevant qualifications. 2. Driver's License: Candidates must submit a copy of their valid driver's license in order to be considered for the position. 3.

Once all the required documents have been submitted, the candidate's application will be reviewed by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (ID FPR).
