8:30 am - 4:00 pm This program replaces the 49-hour program and incorporates the newly adopted performance objectives. This program is now offered as a 10 day program suitable for both law enforcement and correctional officers and includes interactive, problem solving exercises focusing on the fundamental skills required of all first line administrators. Exercises are tailored to meet the needs and expectations of each class with examples drawn from both disciplines. The program is offered 4 times during 2011. Since this is a combined law enforcement/corrections program, there will not be separate sessions for police and correction personnel after February, 2006. All sessions will be held at the Public Safety and Education Training Center in Sykesville with a maximum capacity of 24 participants. If the class is full and you wish to be placed on a waiting list please call us.
