Escambia Sheriff’s Office Holds Leadership Academy

May 13, 2013

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office is hosting the Florida Leadership Academy at the agency’s new training facility on Leonard Street.

The Florida Leadership Academy began in 2003 and has  graduated 26 classes. The (FLA) is designed to provide current first-line supervisors with the knowledge and skill necessary to become efficient first-rate leaders in today’s criminal justice environment. Participants include sworn and non-sworn employees from various law enforcement and correctional agencies.

The FLA meets for one week per month for a total of four consecutive months and covers topics such as leadership, management, communication, professionalism, ethics, legal issues, decision making and stress awareness. FLA class 27 kicked off last week at the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office and will conclude in August.

    Two things about this; first this could be a good thing if Morgan isn’t running the show and secondly, they have a new facility training center and the deputies that work for ECSO are over worked( because deputies are leaving in droves) and underpaid ?
