The Leadership Excellence Challenge is committed to the intentional development of Excellent Public Safety Officer Leadership through academic preparation, structured mentoring, peer evaluation, performance assessment, guided reading, and an individualized development prescription. The LEC mission is to develop future officers that will be recognized by others (not themselves) as professionally competent and morally grounded leaders who are willingly trusted and sought out to make excellent decisions on behalf of, and through the leadership of, others, both internally and externally of their departments.
