SECLA Session Eight
Applications for the Eighth Session of the SECLA are currently being accepted. Since only twenty-five (25) individuals are selected, applications should be submitted promptly. SECLA prepares mid and upper level supervisory personnel for the increased responsibility of administrative command positions by providing them with the knowledge and skills necessary for successful leadership in their agency and community.
Funding Changes
Over the past year, the Law Enforcement Innovation Center (LEIC) has searched for new funding sources to support the Southeastern Command and Leadership Academy (SECLA). We invite you to read LEIC Executive Director Dan Baker's comments regarding changes in SECLA funding and costs as the program moves forward.
