National Sheriffs' Institute - Leadership Development consists of 40 hours of instructor-led, in-person training intended to prepare first-term sheriffs for success and to strengthen the leadership skills of elected sheriffs. Many new sheriffs entering the office of sheriff have limited experience acting as a chief executive officer, operating a local correctional facility, or providing leadership across various domains. To successfully fulfill these duties, elected sheriffs require knowledge and training in leadership principles to maximize their service to the community.
