The Bill Blackwood Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas requests one Blue Courage Training for 30 police executives as an introduction to the Blue Courage program. The participants will evaluate the program, and if positively received, the two-day Blue Courage program will be added as part of the 5-day, 40-hour mandated professional development week of the Texas Police Chief Leadership Series. As a result, LEMI will then proceed with the Train-the-Trainer course of Blue Courage to qualify instructors to teach. There will be twelve sessions of the Texas Police Chief Leadership Series scheduled during the two-year training cycle that begins September 1, 2015 and ends August 31, 2017. At the end of the training cycle, approximately 1,000 police chiefs will have participated in the Blue Courage program. LEMIT is mandated by the state legislature to provide professional development for all Police Chiefs, for Police Command Staff, and all Constables in the state of Texas. LEMIT is part of the Criminal Justice Center at Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas and the training will be held on this campus.
