The District Attorney’s Office, in collaboration with federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, is offering a first of its kind leadership training program called the San Diego County Regional Leadership Institute (SDCRLI). This unique, three-week program is designed to develop diverse leaders from the inside out. The institute is taught by over 40 regional law enforcement leaders and consists of 42 courses that focus on self-awareness, leadership competencies and functional skills. A highlight of the SDCRLI includes the Let’s Be Real series, which gives participants the opportunity to discuss current law enforcement issues and brainstorm ways to build stronger police-community relationships. The institute has received exceptional reviews by law enforcement executives and participants of the program. The entire curriculum is a stepladder to individual self-awareness and leadership development.
