Fetner received his Level II certification by completing an additional 40 hours of executive level law enforcement instruction during a recent training session at the Little River Canyon Field School in Fort Payne.
Overall, Fetner has successfully completed more than 80 hours in the UPACE program.
Fetner will begin working on his Level III certification this summer at the Alabama Association of Chiefs of Police Summer Conference in Orange Beach.
“I am very excited about getting started on my Level III certification later this year,” Fetner said in a release.
The Certified Law Enforcement Executive Program is a 240-hour law enforcement curriculum focused on leadership skills, human relations, internal personnel policies, external environment issues, communications and other public safety related topics.
Participants have the opportunity to exchange ideas, problems, and solutions with their counterparts and to develop new thoughts and ideas.
Upon completion of the 240-hour curriculum, participants are formally recognized by the Alabama Association of Chiefs of Police and the University Partnership of Alabama for Continuing Education as “Certified Law Enforcement Executives” in the state of Alabama.
CLEEP is responsible for training hundreds of chiefs and other law enforcement executives in the state every year.
Last year, the UPACE partnership recognized 48 law enforcement executives around Alabama at different levels of academic excellence.
“The UPACE partnership is a great way to cover high liability and sensitive legal issues that are important to the operation of a professional law enforcement agency,” Fetner said in a release. “I encourage new law enforcement executives to get involved with the UPACE program.”
