21 law enforcement executives graduate from CJED program

By Abbie Darst

Richmond, KY - Twenty-one law enforcement executives from agencies across Kentucky graduated today from the Criminal Justice Executive Development program, an advanced leadership course designed for supervisors at the state's small- and medium-size agencies.

CJED is a five-week program that focuses on identifying, analyzing and solving problems as well as leadership, personnel administration, operations, fiscal management, executive and environmental relationships.


The Honorable Andrew G. English, General Counsel for the Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet, served as guest speaker.

The 21 graduates comprised the Department of Criminal Justice Training's 18th CJED class. Southgate Police Lt. Steven Collinsworth served as class speaker.

The purpose of the course is to provide students with the academic background, leadership skills and management techniques required for the future. Each session enhances leadership abilities and encourages the development of visionary thinkers.

To take part in CJED, potential students must be supervisors who rank sergeant or above. They must apply for entrance into the program and be selected by a committee of CJED graduates from across the commonwealth.

Students attend CJED courses for one week each month for five months.

The Department of Criminal Justice Training is a state agency located on Eastern Kentucky University's campus. The agency is the first in the nation to be accredited under the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies' public safety training program designation.
