Arkansas Leader

Recognizing the need to enhance executive education and training for Arkansas chiefs and sheriffs, Arkansas Leader was designed to equip these professionals with the skills they need to accomplish the goals and aims of their law enforcement agencies. This program, which is co-sponsored by the Criminal Justice Institute and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), has been designated as an FBI Command College.


Each year, the Criminal Justice Institute and the Federal Bureau of Investigation carefully select participants to attend Arkansas Leader. The program emphasizes leadership, education, advancement of the law enforcement profession, and development of the individual and agency. Nationally-recognized conference speakers and presenters are selected to ensure the law enforcement executives are informed, not only of practical procedures for managing their agency or department, but also of the latest trends, technology, and problems impacting our society.


The next session of Arkansas Leader will be held June 5-10, 2011. Heads of Arkansas law enforcement agencies who wish to attend should direct correspondence to Dr. Cheryl P. May of the Criminal Justice Institute at 7723 Colonel Glenn Road, Little Rock, AR 72204. Due to the demand for this course of instruction, agency heads are required to submit their recommendations prior to April 1, 2011.
