Testimonial
“Our first-line supervision is foundation and the key to the success of any law enforcement agency. The values and knowledge of these leaders influence and shape the culture which is critical to agency mission, policy, goals and objectives. The Liberty University Helms School of Government Criminal Justice First-Line Supervisory Training offers an exclusive training program that will help shape our future leaders. I highly recommend that agency Chiefs and Sheriffs enroll their future leadership into this training”.
