Leadership Academy class includes BG officer
COLUMBUS — The 10th Public Safety Leadership Academy class graduated 31 law enforcement leaders, including one from Bowling Green, after 11 weeks of accredited, college-level training through a partnership with the Ohio State University John Glenn College of Public Affairs.
Sgt. Jeffrey Lowery of the Bowling Green Police Division was part of the class.
The training was hosted at the patrol’s training academy and was offered at no cost to agencies through casino tax revenue distributed to the Ohio Department of Public Safety’s Office of Criminal Justice Services for the purpose of supporting law enforcement training.
Graduates learned skills necessary to manage any division within a law enforcement agency, demonstrated preparedness to take on additional leadership responsibilities, and earned a leadership certificate and 10 hours of academic credit. Participating officers completed 274 hours of instruction on leadership, community engagement, public administration and contemporary issues in policing.
