You will quickly find that the benefits of the Institute will be cost, access, convenience and efficiency. All regularly scheduled classes are conducted at The University of Memphis Collierville Campus located at 500 Winchester in Collierville, Tennessee. During my law enforcement career I was fortunate to have the opportunity to receive a B.P.S. in public administration from the University of Memphis, become a graduate of the F.B.I. National Academy and F.B.I. Law Enforcement Executive Development School, and attend numerous specialized schools. Unfortunately few agencies can absorb training costs of that magnitude on many employees. The prime responsibility of the Institute is to provide quality training in a number of areas not previously available in this region.
Training serves three broad purposes.
The University of Memphis is a comprehensive urban university committed to scholarly accomplishments of students and faculty and to the enhancement of the community, state and nation through principles of academic integrity, sound management and equal opportunity. Opened in 1912 as a teacher training college, The University of Memphis has grown into one of the largest comprehensive universities in the southeast United States. Located in a suburban, residential section of Memphis, our beautifully landscaped campus is easily accessible to shopping, recreation and entertainment. The university also has teaching sites throughout Shelby County and West Tennessee. Based on a liberal arts education, the undergraduate program provides students with the analytical and research skills necessary to pursue careers in a variety of arenas.
