Sheriff Sean Casey successfully completed the inaugural session of the National Sheriffs’ Institute (NSI) Communicating for Impact program June 9 to 13 at the FBI Academy in Quantico. This course is provided at no cost to the Sheriff’s Office or the City by the National Institute of Corrections and U.S. Department of Justice, in collaboration with the Major County Sheriffs of America.

Sheriff Casey was selected to join 17 other sheriffs from across the country to attend the NSI’s first offering of this course, which focuses on enhancing a sheriff’s ability to inspire, motivate, inform, build trust, and lead change, while promoting and supporting their organization’s mission, vision, and values.

The NSI is the only executive leadership training program designed specifically for sheriffs to prepare them for all matters that impact their office. The NSI was established in the early 1970s in response to a need by sheriffs to meet the evolving demands of the office.

Sheriff Casey previously completed another NSI program, the Leadership Development course, which gives sheriffs the opportunity to assess their leadership strengths, define a leadership direction, and identify how to effectively engage their leadership team to advance their organization’s mission, vision, and values.
