COLUMBUS - The eighth Public Safety Leadership Academy class graduated 31 law enforcement leaders today after 10 weeks of accredited, college-level training through a partnership with The Ohio State University – John Glenn College of Public Affairs. The training was hosted at the Patrol’s Training Academy and offered at no cost to agencies through casino tax revenue distributed to the Ohio Department of Public Safety’s Office of Criminal Justice Services for the purpose of supporting law enforcement training efforts.
During today’s ceremony, Ohio State Highway Patrol Colonel Richard S. Fambro provided remarks and Delaware County Sheriff Russell L. Martin addressed the graduates.
Graduates received 10 semester hours of academic credit, along with a certificate in Senior Leadership through The Ohio State University – John Glenn College of Public Affairs. The specialized curriculum completed by the graduates is part of a carefully managed course with content in the areas of leadership and ethics; interpersonal and organizational communication; public management; organizational culture and ethics; human resources management; budgeting; and organizational behavior in law enforcement.
In addition, graduates also attended enrichment discussions, which were executive level development seminars. Distinguished speakers presented on topics such as overcoming the unique mental stressors of possible violence, as well as best practices for law enforcement who deal with employees struggling with addiction issues. Graduates also had the opportunity to meet with executive law enforcement officials to discuss how to build positive relations with law enforcement in Ohio and how to deal with future challenges in the field.
As part of a community outreach effort, graduates collected over 600 can food items and donated the food to the Lower Lights Community Food Bank located in the Franklinton neighborhood in Columbus.
