Law Enforcement Executive Program

Program Objectives

• An emphasis on the relevance to law enforcement management in North Carolina. The program content is based on a needs assessment conducted by or in conjunction with top North Carolina law enforcement executive and local government managers in 1993 and 1994. Instructors who are familiar with the context and demands facing law enforcement executives will teach the program.
• A focus on top-level law enforcement executives. To enhance the organizational impact of the program, preference will be given to chief law enforcement executives and their top-level staff (lieutenants and above, except in agencies where sergeants are part of the command staff and are, therefore, eligible to attend.
• Concentration on skills-based training. NCSU and IOG instructors have attended planning sessions to design experiential materials and will utilize instructional techniques that give students the opportunity to apply management and leadership theory to practical problem faced in law enforcement agencies. It is our expectation that students will be able to return to their agencies and apply the knowledge and skills they have gained - and be encouraged to do so by their agency heads. The major emphasis in LEEP is translating theory into practice. Part of the process of demonstrating understanding and application of the instruction will involve presentation of a case study where students will reorganize the mission, services, and structure of an agency in need of revitalization. Students will also make use of written exercises, discussion, and videotapes to demonstrate learned skills and application of the material shared in the classroom.
• Use of skilled public management trainers. The program is university based and will employ instructors who have demonstrated outstanding training skills with law enforcement managers.
