Law Enforcement Executive Development Seminar (LEEDS)
Law Enforcement Executive Development Seminar (LEEDS)
The Law Enforcement Executive Development Seminar, or LEEDS, was conceived for chief executive officers of the nation’s mid-sized law enforcement agencies. Begun in 1981, the seminar has graduated more than 1,300 executives to date.
Designed for executive officers who report a lack of training for law enforcement leaders, this seminar enables participants to reflect upon and regroup for the next stage of their careers. Executives are provided with instruction and facilitation in the areas of leadership, strategic planning, legal issues, labor relations, media relations, social issues, and police programs. The environment of the seminar is conducive to independent thought and study. Participants have the opportunity to exchange plans, problems, and solutions with their peers; to develop new thoughts and ideas; and to share successes of their own communities. The interaction among the executives is worthwhile for them as well—some of the most productive learning takes place outside of the classroom during evening conferences and meals.
How to Apply
Law enforcement executives interested in applying for LEEDS should contact the police training coordinator in their local FBI field office.
For graduates
Most of the graduates of LEEDS become members of the non-profit FBI-Law Enforcement Executive Development Association (FBI-LEEDA) and continue attending annual training conferences to further their education.
