The ARKANSAS LEADER program, which is oriented toward law enforcement heads of agencies and other leaders within the criminal justice system, takes a multi-faceted, dynamic approach to leadership training. Recognizing that attendees are not only agency leaders but also community leaders, the course is designed to advance individual professional development and education that is transferable to their respective organizations and communities. The course allows students to develop invaluable networking assets with the ability to discuss and share common concerns and solutions to challenges faced by criminal justice professionals.
The ARKANSAS LEADER program is jointly sponsored by the Criminal Justice Institute and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The program has been designated a Command College of the FBI.
Session XX of ARKANSAS LEADER will be held June 5–10, 2011, at the Criminal Justice Institute. Heads of Arkansas law enforcement agencies who wish to attend should direct correspondence to Dr. Cheryl P. May, Director, Criminal Justice Institute, 7723 Colonel Glenn Road, Little Rock, Arkansas 72204. Due to the demand for this course of instruction, agency heads are required to submit their correspondence prior to April 1, 2011.
