IALEFI's® Policy & Guidelines on the Reproduction & Use of the IALEFI®
Name & Logo

IALEFI® members and sponsors may indicate in their resumes, biographies, curricula vitae, and other listings of credentials that they are members or sponsors of IALEFI®. Such listings may indicate, as appropriate, membership status, dates of membership, offices held, authorship of articles published in THE FIREARMS INSTRUCTOR, attendance at IALEFI® training events, courses instructed by the member at IALEFI training events, and awards or honors received from IALEFI®. However, such listings shall not state or imply that the member is "certified" as an instructor by IALEFI®, as IALEFI® does not certify instructors at this time.

IALEFI® members and corporate sponsors may use the IALEFI® name and logo on their business cards, stationery, and other printed materials in keeping with these guidelines. Maximum height of the IALEFI® logo may not exceed 3/8" when reproduced on a business card or other material measuring less than 5"x8", or 5/8" when reproduced on printed material measuring 5"x8" or larger.

If the logo is reproduced, it must be an unmodified and accurate copy or reproduction of the IALEFI® logo, and must be accompanied by the words "Member" or "Corporate Sponsor" (as appropriate), printed legibly either directly above or directly below the logo.

Alternatively, without using the logo, the member or sponsor may print the words "Member, IALEFI®" or "Corporate Sponsor, IALEFI®," or, " Member, International Association of Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors" or "Corporate Sponsor, International Association of Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors" in letters having a maximum height of 1/8" when printed on a business card or other material measuring less than 5"x8", or 1/4" when printed on material measuring 5"x8" or larger.

Neither IALEFI's® name nor logo may be used, published, or distributed as described above except by IALEFI® members and corporate sponsors who are in good standing and not in arrears in payment of their dues at the time of such use, publication, or distribution.

Any commercial advertising use of IALEFI's® name or logo, other than as specifically authorized above, is strictly prohibited, and may constitute a violation of state, federal, and/or international law.

No use of the IALEFI® name or logo is permitted which states or implies that IALEFI® approves or endorses any product, service, instructor, training method, training program, or source of training. 

No use shall be made of the IALEFI® name or logo in any medium, whether printed, broadcast, recorded, televised, electronically produced or reproduced, in any public performance, appearance, address or published in any other manner, which states, implies, or is likely to induce the reader, viewer or listener to believe, that the publication has been made or sponsored by, or represents the official statement, view or position of IALEFI®.

IALEFI® reserves the right to restrict and/or prohibit any use of its name or logo which violates the above rules, or which in IALEFI's® sole opinion is likely to mislead or create confusion, reflect detrimentally on IALEFI®, or adversely affect IALEFI® in any way.
