School of Law Enforcement Supervision

The School of Law Enforcement Supervision (SLES) was designed by Arkansas law enforcement leaders to focus on leadership, education, and advancement in the law enforcement profession. The course includes the study of organizational theory and design, administration, leadership, interpersonal and organizational communication, human resource management, legal issues, information systems and applications, decision-making, evaluation, and organizational change.

At the conclusion of each week of SLES, class participants are required to successfully complete a written examination on material drawn from lectures, course texts, and outside reading assignments. In addition, this course requires students to make oral presentations and prepare a research paper on an assigned topic. Six hours of college credit at the undergraduate or graduate level is available to successful course participants.

SLES is conducted twice a year, from January through April and again from September through December. To participate in this program, an application letter must be submitted to Dr. Cheryl P. May from your Chief of Police, Sheriff, Department Head or Director. The Criminal Justice Institute provides free lodging accommodations for participants who reside outside of the metropolitan Little Rock area. The deadline for nominations for either session will be thirty days prior to the start of each session.

For more information about SLES courses, contact Dr. Cheryl P. May at (501) 570-8052 or (800) 635-6310.
