Law Enforcement Management Program

The Criminal Justice Institute (CJI) provides a variety of courses and programs designed to enhance the management and supervisory skills of law enforcement personnel in the state who are promoted to positions of leadership within their agencies. Course offerings emphasize improving one’s ability to better supervise or manage an agency, enhancing interaction with citizens and fellow workers, and developing additional education or skills that benefit the law enforcement profession. A sampling of the management topics addressed includes civil liability, criminal procedure updates, communication, media relations, crime prevention, grant writing, and warrantless search and seizures.

In addition, CJI provides two intensive management programs: the School of Law Enforcement Supervision and Arkansas Leader. The School of Law Enforcement Supervision (SLES), a four-week program, is offered twice a year and strives to improve the management skills of law enforcement supervisors. In contrast, Arkansas Leader, a one-week program, is designed specifically for agency heads, primarily sheriffs and chiefs of police. Both programs focus on leadership, education, and advancement in the law enforcement profession.

In addition to its regular course offerings, the Institute presents special programs to meet the changing needs of Arkansas law enforcement. Recently, CJI has hosted courses such as Basic Spanish for Law Enforcement, Law Enforcement Response to the Mentally Ill, Hostage Negotiations, and Instructor Development.
