The Hartwell Police Department is proud to announce that Lt. Darin Rucker has earned the prestigious FBI-Law Enforcement Executive Development Association (FBI-LEEDA) Trilogy Award, a national distinction recognizing law enforcement professionals committed to strengthening their leadership capabilities in service to their agencies and communities.
The FBI-LEEDA Trilogy Award is presented to individuals who have successfully completed the organization's comprehensive three-tiered leadership program: the Supervisor Leadership Institute, the Command Leadership Institute and the Executive Leadership Institute.
Together, the Trilogy series focuses on essential areas including ethical leadership, community engagement organizational effectiveness, implicit bias awareness and emotional intelligence. Earning this recognition reflects a personal investment in becoming a more principled, effective and forward-thinking law enforcement leader.
"Law enforcement executives carry a responsibility to the people they lead and the communities they serve and the Trilogy series is built to sharpen that sense of responsibility,” FBI-LEEDA Executive Director Jacques Battiste said.
FBI-LEEDA courses equip public safety leaders with the skills, tools and networks needed to serve their agencies and communities at the highest level. Classes are taught by experienced law enforcement executives from across the country who bring real-world insight and expertise into the classroom.
