Criminal Justice Executive Development Program Graduates 23 Kentucky Leaders
On December 12, Gov. Andy Beshear and the Department of Criminal Justice Training (DOCJT) announced that 23 law enforcement officers from agencies across Kentucky graduated from Criminal Justice Executive Development Program (CJED) Class 32. CJED is an advanced leadership course designed for supervisors of small to medium-sized law enforcement agencies.
“Law enforcement leadership is one of the highest callings, and in graduating from this class, you have proven yourself capable of answering that call,” Gov. Beshear said. “Thank you for continuing to go above and beyond in protecting your communities and your commonwealth.”
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, and executive and community 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.
“I encourage you to carry the skills you’ve gained back to your agencies with confidence, knowing they will make a real difference in the lives of the people you serve,” DOCJT Commissioner Mike Bosse said. “I wish you continued success in your careers.”
To take part in CJED, potential students must be supervisors at the 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.
