Due to the high demand for an extra in-person Leadership Academy at Camp Ripley, the Zoom session has been phased out, and a second Camp Ripley option is now available.
The Leadership Academy runs Tuesday through Friday and covers key topics, including complaint sorting and discipline, performance appraisals, general leadership principles, and media relations musts for every police department.
