ARNOLD AIR FORCE BASE, Tenn. --  Lt. Dave Everett of the Arnold Police Department recently received a certificate for completing the Southeastern Command and Leadership Academy (SECLA), a law enforcement leadership development program hosted by the UT Law Enforcement Innovation Center and the criminal justice department at UT Chattanooga.

Participants were honored with a graduation on March 8 in Chattanooga.

SECLA is divided between four one-week sessions on the UTC campus and two online sessions, all of which are held over an eight-month period.

SECLA, which is open to law enforcement personnel from around the region, prepares mid- and upper-level supervisory personnel for the increased responsibility of administrative command positions by providing them with the knowledge and skills necessary for successful leadership in their agencies and communities.

While in the program, Everett was selected as class leader.

SECLA now has more than 300 law enforcement personnel who have completed the program.
