Police Law Update (Online)

This is a new course designed for law enforcement officers that have completed the two-week Police Law Institute course within the last two to three years.  Participants will review concepts presented in that course as well as recent case law, statutory changes and interpretations, and legislative updates to juvenile law.  There will also be reviews of North Carolina and U.S. Supreme Court opinions.  The major focus of the course is search and seizure, search warrants, interrogation law, and civil liability.  

North Carolina Justice Academy Leadership Institute

Attention: Students that have completed Credible Leadership: Module I or NCJA Leadership Institute: Module I

The North Carolina Justice Academy will offer the NCJA Leadership Institute (NCJA-LI) with a pilot class beginning in the Spring of 2020 (dates listed below).  This is a certificate program in leadership, focusing on topics essential for today's law enforcement leaders to better prepare them to serve in executive leadership roles.  More detailed information on the program is found at the link above.

If you have completed Wake Tech's Credible Leadership: Module I or NCJA-LI Module I, then you have already met the primary prerequisite to compete for one of 25 positions that make up each session of NCJA-LI.  Other prerequisites include an essay on a selected topic, a letter from your Chief, Sheriff or director, endorsing your selection to the program, and the completed application packet.  Instructions for each of these can be accessed through the web link above or through your NCJA training portal account.

The dates for the Spring session are as follows: week 1 (March 23-27, 2020 in Salemburg), week 2 (April 20-24, 2020 in Chapel Hill), week 3 (May 18-22, 2020 in Salemburg).  I encourage you to continue with the leadership development process and take it to the next level with the North Carolina Justice Academy's Leadership Institute.
