The Institute in Plano, Texas, offers the course which is one of the premier supervisory law enforcement training courses in the United States. Topics included Change and Organization, Legal Aspects of Supervision, Motivation, Legal Liability, Police Community Relations and Creating a Strong Ethical Environment. Extensive testing and a research paper were required in the course.

Because all four were sent at one time, tuition was charged for only three by the Institute, according to Public Safety Director Rich Leipfert. Training funds approved by the City Council for 2005 paid the cost of attendance at the school.

Graduating the course on October 28th were Sergeants Josh Dossett, Howard Townsend, John Alguire and Joe White.
