The skies are gray, but your drive doesn't have to be dangerous.

With heavy rain moving through, slow down, turn on your headlights, leave extra space, and never drive through flooded roads.

Take your time. We'll all get beyond the gray sky together.

Chief Eilert recently attended the FBI-LEEDA Command Leadership Institute (CLI), a nationally recognized leadership program designed to prepare law enforcement professionals for command-level positions. The intensive 4½-day course focuses on leadership development, ethical decision-making, team building, resiliency, and leading organizational change.

The FBI-LEEDA CLI program follows a “Cops Teaching Cops” model, allowing officers to learn from experienced law enforcement leaders from across the country while sharing real-world experiences and best practices.

In law enforcement, learning never stops. No matter the rank or years of experience, there is always an opportunity to grow, adapt, and improve.
