In a few weeks this will become my home for 3 months. I will be attending the National Academy from January 6 to March 15, 2019. I am almost certain that when I arrive, the grounds will not look like this. I am expecting cold and winter like conditions.
As my departure time gets closer and closer, I have been trying to anticipate everything I will need and properly plan my wardrobe which will include clothes not typically worn in southern California. More importantly will be my electronics and all of my charging cables that will be necessary to charge all of my Apple products.
As of now, my class schedule consists of the following graduate level courses:
- Leading At-Risk Employees
- Fitness in Law Enforcement
- Emotional Intelligence: Context and Communication
- Navigating Internal Leadership Crises
- Contemporary Issues in Law Enforcement
- Advanced Spirituality, Wellness and Vitality in Law Enforcement
I am looking forward to learning new things related to these important topics. There were so many great courses to choose from but I could only pick four.
On January 6, 2019, I will be traveling with 6 other law enforcement leaders to Quantico, VA. We were all chosen to represent the Los Angeles region. There are a total of 21 people representing the State of California. Our class will have a total of 250 students that represent the United States and 25 other countries. I look forward to the new relationships and experiences that will be forged during our three months.
I would like to thank the City of Pomona and Chief of Police, Michael Olivieri Jr. for the opportunity to attend the prestigious training and represent the Pomona Police Department.
