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.
Participants must be first-term sheriffs.
