Eligibility
Each AOMP Session is limited to 35 managers from municipal, county, state, federal, and campus law enforcement agencies, as well as police working for special governmental authorities such as housing, transit, parks, or airports. Because of the diversity in management assignment among agencies, we do not have a specific rank requirement for attendance. However, given the nature of the courses, supervisory or management experience is very helpful in understanding the concepts and promotes active and informed participation. Past classes have included officers at the rank of sergeant through chief and the average experience level has been about 15 years.

The Administrative Management Program has increasingly obtained both national and international attention and participation in its program. Out of state agencies represented include the states of:

Internationally, Great Britain, Bermuda, and Canada have participated. Such geographic diversity further benefits the students through the knowledge they gain from exploring alternative law enforcement approaches and discovering current national trends in criminal justice that can be thoughtfully applied to their own jurisdiction.
