2022 New chiefs & sheriffs training

January 24-28, 2022

All newly appointed police chiefs and sheriffs are invited to attend the Department of Justice's annual New Chiefs and Sheriffs Training seminar. This program is geared specifically to meet the needs of new chief executives as they transition into their role as an agency leader. This course is historically a week long event that is held in person. Due to COVID-19 precautions we will host this training virtually throughout the week. 

Some of the topics to be covered at the conference are:

  • Leading Your Agency
  • Strategic Communications
  • Discipline, Labor Relations, and Internal Investigations
  • Property, Evidence and Asset Forfeiture - Legal Issues for the Chief Executive
  • Officer Involved Shootings
  • Budgeting and Financial Management
  • Recruiting and Retention
  • Public Records

Attendees will also hear about the services offered by their Wisconsin law enforcement partners. Many of the instructors are current Wisconsin law enforcement chief executives who have agreed to share their experiences and expertise.

Presentations will be live and interactive for attendees, including breakout sessions and opportunities to network with each other and with representatives from statewide resources. 

Registration Fee:
There is no cost to attend this training program. WI DOJ will enter the training time into ACADIS upon completion of the training.

Training Times:
Training will be Monday through Thursday 8:30 am - 4:00 pm and Friday 8:30 am - Noon. 

Bonus Opportunity This Year:
Since we are virtual again this year, please invite your second in command to join the training program.
