The graduating class included 33 first-line supervisors representing 27 criminal justice agencies throughout the state, and who serve in leadership roles within their agencies.

The graduates met for four week-long sessions at the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, in Sanford Florida, where they learned skills necessary to support the needs of their agencies and their communities as they prepare for future challenges.

The Florida Criminal Justice Executive Institute, established within the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and affiliated with the State University System, was established in 1990 by the Florida Legislature to address the need for an innovative and multi-faceted approach to the education and training of criminal justice professionals.
