Description The Law Enforcement Management and Administration class will provide police managers with the tools to effectively manage the various legal mandates of state and federal governments. Most police managers rise through the ranks to become chiefs or command officers. In many cases, chiefs and command officers are ill-prepared to deal with all the administrative requirements of the job. Many become aware of legal mandates after they get in trouble. This class is designed to provide chiefs and command officers with the knowledge and ability to deal with these duties in an effective and proactive manner.
