HOPE – On Friday, May 9th, 2025, Sgt. Layton Medlen graduated from the University of Arkansas System, Criminal Justice Institute’s School of Law Enforcement Supervision, Session LXII.

The SCHOOL OF LAW ENFORCEMENT SUPERVISION (SLES) is exclusively designed to provide first and second line supervisors with the fundamental skills they will need to become effective managers over the span of their careers. Exceptional speakers and those recognized as experts in their profession provide instruction and facilitate group activities over the span of this course. Program objectives are carefully selected and continually evaluated to ensure the information is applicable and relevant for the 21st century law enforcement leader. To be considered, nominees must have obtained the rank of sergeant or above.

Conducted over a period of four weeks, and offered two times per year, this professional course of study requires the successful completion of weekly exams, reading assignments, and a research paper or grant a topic relevant to law enforcement supervision due at the end of the third week.

Congratulations Sgt. Medlen! We are proud of you.
