The School of Law Enforcement Supervision (SLES) is exclusively designed to provide a foundation that law enforcement professionals need to build strong careers and advance as effective leaders, while providing endless opportunities for leaders to develop and cultivate excellent management skills. Exceptional speakers and those recognized as experts in their profession provide instruction and facilitate group activities, and specific program objectives are carefully selected and continually evaluated to ensure the program information is relevant. Conducted over a period of four weeks, this professional course of study requires the successful completion of weekly exams, reading assignments, and a research paper on a topic relevant to law enforcement supervision. SLES is currently only offered twice per year, and appointment to this course requires a nomination from the agency head and selection from the administration of The Criminal Justice Institute.
