This past week, Sheriff Smith completed the National Sheriffs’ Institute (NSI) Leadership Development Course at the FBI Academy in Quantico, VA. Along with 23 other sheriffs from across the United States, he explored various topics such as the role of the sheriff as a leader, defining leadership direction, self-awareness, executive team development, maintaining professional ethics within the organization, emotional intelligence and motivation, building trust, community engagement, and developing external partnerships. The participating sheriffs actively engaged in discussions on these subjects.
