PELC Prospective Student

INTERESTED IN PELC?

PELC is a three – week executive leadership training program spread out over three months each session. PELC is based on the premise that leadership skills can be learned, and that given the opportunity for feedback and practice, executives can substantially improve their abilities to lead. PELC provides law enforcement executives with one of those rare moments in their professional careers to learn how to practically apply leadership concepts. It is an intensive learning experience focused on leadership skills vital to long term personal success and change in the organization — both for the benefit of the community.

If you are a law enforcement executive who wants to improve your leadership skills to enhance your career, PELC may be just for you. In addition, if you are interested in furthering your academic education by attending a higher educational program, several Ohio universities provide undergraduate college credits for PELC graduates.

Who Is PELC For?

PELC is designed for Police Chiefs, Sheriff’s, and Management-Level staff who are willing to devote time away from their agencies to improve their leadership skills.  The course is geared to law enforcement executives from all size agencies. The most important quality a participant should possess is the willingness to learn and unlearn.
