The graduating class included 32 senior executives representing criminal justice agencies from across the state and who serve in leadership roles within their agencies.

The participants met for seven weeks over a 10-month period and took classes on topics such as risk management, budgeting, procedural justice and future forecasting as it relates to criminal justice.

The goal of the Senior Leadership Program is to prepare Florida’s criminal justice leadership for the challenging and changing demands of the future. Class participants studied the trends and events that will challenge criminal justice professionals and the state in the new millennium and examine the leadership skills necessary to create and lead the changes that lie ahead.

The Florida Criminal Justice Executive Institute, which is housed 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.
