Gov. Beshear, Department of Criminal Justice Training Announce 25 Graduates of Public Safety Dispatch Academy Class 161
On December 13, Gov. Andy Beshear and the Department of Criminal Justice Training (DOCJT) announced that 23 law enforcement officers from agencies across Kentucky graduated from the Criminal Justice Executive Development Program (CJED) Class 31. CJED is an advanced leadership course designed for supervisors of small to medium-sized law enforcement agencies.
“The skills you’ve learned through this course will not only benefit you and your agencies but will build a new Kentucky home where public safety is a top priority,” Gov. Beshear said. “Thank you for your continued commitment to serving and protecting all Kentuckians.”
CJED is a four-week, 168-hour program that focuses on identifying, analyzing, and solving problems as well as leadership, personnel administration, operations, fiscal management, executive and environmental relationships.
The purpose of the course is to provide students with the academic background, leadership skills and management techniques required for the future. Each session enhances leadership abilities and encourages the development of visionary thinkers.
“Take what you’ve learned and return to your agencies knowing that you will make a difference in people’s lives,” DOCJT Commissioner Mike Bosse said. “I wish you continued success in your careers.”
To take part in CJED, potential students must be supervisors who rank sergeant or above. They must apply for entrance into the program and be selected by a committee of CJED graduates from across the commonwealth.
