Investing in our Red Oak Police Department!
On this , we'd like to highlight our Police Department and their dedicated efforts to ensure top-notch training for our officers! Earlier this month, Sgt. Gunning completed the FBI-LEEDA Executive Leadership Institute (ELI) hosted by Fort Worth PD, an advanced law enforcement leadership program designed to strengthen decision-making, communication, and organizational leadership skills, as seen in the photo above.

One of the goals at our Red Oak Police Department is for every supervisor to complete the FBI LEEDA Trilogy series. These courses help officers grow as leaders, expand their knowledge, and learn new skills they can bring back to the department. Currently, Chief Tijerina and Asst. Chief Schroeder have the Trilogy award, with many supervisors following closely. Lt. Esquibel and Lt. Meeks will be beginning their Trilogy training in the immediate future, and Lt. Schleif and Lt. Langham need one remaining class to complete their individual trilogy awards.

Congratulations to Sgt. Gunning on this accomplishment, and best of luck to the members of our command staff as they continue their work pursing a Trilogy award. We are proud of the high standards and professional development goals our Police Department continues to pursue, providing the best possible service to Red Oak residents.
