WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (November 7, 2025) – The West Palm Beach Police Department is proud to announce the successful completion of its first FBI-LEEDA Executive Leadership Institute (ELI) class. Eleven West Palm Beach Police Department employees graduated from the program, marking the first time the department has both hosted and graduated participants.
The Executive Leadership Institute is the final course in the FBI-LEEDA Trilogy, a nationally recognized leadership series that prepares law enforcement professionals for executive-level responsibilities.
The four-and-a-half-day course focuses on the challenges facing today’s police leaders and follows the “Cops Talking to Cops” model of professional development. Participants engage in guided discussions on topics including:
“This program represents an important investment in our people and our future,” said Deputy Chief Tony Shearer. “Developing strong, forward-thinking leaders helps strengthen both our department and our community.”
The West Palm Beach Police Department remains committed to building effective, ethical leaders who deliver timely, credible, and value-driven service to the community.
