Course detail: Kansas Police Administrators' Seminar

The Kansas Police Administrators' Seminar (KPAS) is designed for new chiefs and department administrators and senior officers 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. The subjects discussed are not the usual law enforcement subjects. As a chief or administrator of a police department ...you use everything you know to do your job. KPAS is designed to add to that experience and knowledge base to help you do your job better.

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 . . .
The cost for this year's seminar is $350 per person and will include all course materials, lodging, and meals at KLETC. We have discontinued the application process, please register on this site to participate in this training.

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.

 A paper copy of the report will be provided upon request. If you would like to receive a paper copy, you can request that a copy be mailed to you by calling 785-864-6414 or emailing civilrights@ku.edu or arrange for pick-up at a KLETC location.
