Law Enforcement Leadership Academy (LELA)

Providing leadership courses that are tailored to the specific needs of law enforcement professionals.

The University of Kansas Public Management Center (KUPMC) and the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center (KLETC), a unit of KU Continuing Education, work together to support law enforcement agencies in Kansas with their professional education needs at the command and front-line supervisory levels through the Kansas Law Enforcement Leadership Academy (LELA).

The mission of LELA is to provide high quality leadership development, strengthen partnerships, and promote professionalism throughout the law enforcement community in Kansas.

We offer three distinct programs for all levels of law enforcement. We also facilitate custom workshops.
