Rockford Police Chief George Fanning recently completed the first 40 hours of a law enforcement program and was recognized in a conference in Montgomery in February.
“On behalf of the University Partnership for Alabama Continuing Education and the Alabama Association of Police Chiefs, I take great pleasure in announcing that Chief George Fanning of the Rockford Police Department has successfully completed the first 40 hours of the Certified Law Enforcement Executive Program,” said Kaleb Littlejohn, director of the Center for Best Practices in Law Enforcement at Jacksonville State University and UPACE partner.
The program, consisting of specialized executive-level training, is jointly administered by the University Partnership and the Alabama Association of Chiefs of Police.
“This is a mark of success for Chief Fanning, as well as for the Town of Rockford for its support of the advancement of law enforcement management principles,” Littlejohn said.
Fanning received this recognition at the annual Alabama Association of Chiefs of Police Conference on February 22 in Montgomery.
