Ö Registration forms will be available in August 2011 Õ

The PELS Alumni Association will be hosting a Leadership Training November 14-15, 2011, at the Holocaust Museum and Marine Corps Museum. This training session is open to all chief executives, managers, supervisors and law enforcement officers. You do not need to be a PELS or ILCT graduate to attend.

The program begins on Monday, November 14^th at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum. The day will begin with a classroom lecture entitled "Leadership and Tolerance". During this lecture, we will learn some of the factors that led to the Nazi rise to power; and the role law enforcement played before and during the Holocaust. Following the lecture, the class will break into small groups for a guided tour of the museum. The tour groups will be led by a museum volunteer who will continue the focus on Leadership and Tolerance, as well as share with the group their own personal experiences. Due to the highly intense nature of this training, it will be immediately followed by a debriefing before the group is released for dinner.

The program will continue on Tuesday, November 15^th, at the Marine Corps Museum in Quantico, Virginia. The group will be led on a guided tour by a museum volunteer with a focus on "Leadership and Overcoming Adversity".

The registration deadline is October 14, 2011. DCJS in-service credit, including credit for cultural diversity, will be awarded for attendance at the training sessions, and pre-approved forms will be distributed at the close of training.
