PCPD captain completes law enforcement leadership academy
Plant City Police Department Captain Alfred Van Duyne III completed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement’s Florida Leadership Academy, Class 48 earlier in the month.
The program is part of the Florida Criminal Justice Executive institute and graduates of the program serve leadership roles within their agency. All-in-all they represent 27 criminal justice agencies throughout the state of Florida.
The goal of the Florida Leadership Academy is to prepare first-line supervisors in criminal justice organizations to exemplify the character and integrity expected of criminal justice professionals and to examine the various components necessary to being an efficient leader and the graduates met for four week-long sessions at the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office in Sanford, Florida where they learned the necessary skills to support the needs of both their agencies and their communities as they continuously prepare for future challenges.
