Rural Executive Management Institute (REMI) Project

  • One of the primary obstacles rural law enforcement managers must overcome when they accept a leadership position within their community is a lack of management training specific to their needs. Because crime has typically been characterized as “urban,” education and training programs in law enforcement management often focus on issues inherent to urban agencies. In reality, crime is becoming increasingly prevalent in rural, remote communities, and the training programs that have targeted urban departments in the past cannot be presented with the same effectiveness to rural agencies.

    The Rural Executive Management Institute (REMI) Project is a management education and training program designed to prepare rural law enforcement executives for the unique challenges they face as agency heads of small law enforcement agencies. The purpose of this program is to make training for rural law enforcement agencies both obtainable and affordable. It addresses a variety of management issues confronting rural law enforcement executives, while also providing them with a forum to discuss common problems and explore workable solutions. The format encourages participants to share ideas and build relationships with others in their field.

    This intensive four-day course is provided at no cost to qualifying rural executives. (Participants are chosen from city police departments with a city population of 25,000 or less, or sheriffs’ offices with a county population of 50,000 or less.)
