RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to expend $1,945 for costs associated with employee Chris Wenzel's attendance at the Federal Bureau of Investigation National Academy from April 5, 2009 through June 12, 2009. This expense is to be differentiated from an advance on funds or reimbursement.

Summary of Expenses: Academy Uniforms - $450.00, Student Assessment - $115.00, Miscellaneous Expenses ($20/day x 69 days) - $1,380.00.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Budgeted. 100% County General Fund. The total cost to the County for this continuing education program will be borne by the Sheriff's Office budget.

BACKGROUND:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation National Academy is an internationally prestigious program of continuing education. The training program is a comprehensive and balanced 10-week program of advanced professional instruction. Throughout this training, particular emphasis is placed on leadership development. Personnel from the Office of the Sheriff-Coroner attend the National Academy at the personal invitation of the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. All major costs, including transportation, are funded by the Bureau.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Negative action could suppress the ability of our county to continue preparing our local law enforcement officials for the unique leadership challenges which we are certain to face in the future.
