Course detail: Kansas Police Administrators' Seminar

The Kansas Police Administrators' Seminar (KPAS) is designed for new chiefs, department administrators and supervisors who are preparing themselves for a chief or other upper-level police administrative positions. KPAS provides instruction in the "basics" of managing a police department and its employees, with real-world problems and decision-making that a chief of police confronts daily. 

This 5-day, in-person program offers curriculum in 2-4 hour modules on a variety of topics plus one evening networking dinner. Established in 2001, KPAS has graduated over 500 leaders and remains popular among rural agencies. You'll gain real-world insights through panel discussions and department-specific scenarios - no outside work or final assignment required - and celebrate your achievement at a formal graduation ceremony.

KPAS Topic List
  • Strategic Planning and Resource Allocation
  • Contemporary Legal Issues
  • Managing Organizational Change
  • Hiring Processes/Best Practices
  • Chief's Panel Q & A
  • And much more . . .

Notice of Availability of the KLETC Annual Security and Fire Safety Report:

The University of Kansas has determined that the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center (KLETC) main campus in Hutchinson and its regional sites in Dodge City, Hays, and Parsons are separate campuses. This determination was made in consultation with the Department of Education. The report is available online t: https://civilrights.ku.edu/clery.

The report contains information regarding campus safety and security including topics such as: campus law enforcement authority; crime reporting policies; campus alerts (Timely Warnings and Emergency Notifications); fire safety policies and procedures; programs to prevent sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking; the procedures the institution will follow when one of these crimes is reported; and other matters of importance related to security on campus. The report also contains information about crime statistics for the three most recent calendar years concerning reported crimes that occurred On-Campus; in On-Campus Student Housing Facilities; in Non-Campus buildings or property owned or controlled by the institution or a recognized student organization; and on Public Property within, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from, the campus. The report also contains fire statistics for any fires occurring in an On-Campus Student Housing Facility during the three most recent calendar years.
