Hendersonville Police Captain Completes Executive Law Enforcement Program
Captain Chris Leroy of the Hendersonville Police Department Criminal Investigations Division has completed the Law Enforcement Executive Program (LEEP) offered at North Carolina State University. LEEP delivers executive style training to aspiring public safety managers and builds proactive leadership among law enforcement executives that enables them to manage their most critical current and future challenges effectively.
“I consider leadership development and supervisory training as one of my highest priorities as police chief,” said Police Chief Herbert Blake. “We will continue to afford these kinds of excellent professional development opportunities to our staff as they become available.”
Based on participants’ previous education and experience, LEEP assumes those who enroll already have good basic managerial skills and a strong working knowledge of North Carolina local government and police services. LEEP builds on this foundation to enable participants to: explore current ideas and techniques of public management as they apply to law enforcement agencies; sharpen personal skills necessary to excel as police managers; and step outside daily activities and responsibilities to think creatively about the job of managing a law enforcement agency in increasingly complex, uncertain and changing environments. LEEP also provides participants with tools that will help them resolve issues that arise on a day-to-day basis. The LEEP Program is designed to ensure officers can apply new skills developed in the program when they return to their agencies.
The Hendersonville Police Department congratulates Captain Leroy on this achievement.
