Sheriff Kurt A. Hoffman is pleased to announce that Captain Jeff Lane graduated from the Florida Sheriffs Association Commanders Academy, Graduating Class 17.
Lane, Court Services Bureau Captain, completed the academy at the Florida Sheriffs Association headquarters in Tallahassee on July 11. This program is recognized as the premier course of executive study for mid-to-upper-level criminal justice leaders. It was designed by sheriffs to ensure that these leaders have the background and training to carry out their responsibilities in the agencies they serve.
"Strengthening our organizations from within is our goal, and the Commanders Academy is a critical tool to do just that," commented Sheriff Hoffman. “We train to expand the tools, perspective, and confidence needed to lead with integrity and adapt to the evolving challenges of our profession.”
