WHY CERTIFY?

Individual certification as a CCL and organizational qualification as a CLO positively enhances overall professionalism, organizational effectiveness and impact in the community.  The individual officer and the public safety agency become increasingly able to meet the expectations of those they serve as well as be a leading force in the community.  Public servants, especially public safety professionals and their organizations, frequently find themselves thrust into the media spotlight and sometimes even on the global stage.   We live in a transparent and networked society where accountability, especially from law enforcement, is demanded by informed taxpayers, elected officials and the legal system.  Public safety professionals are simply held to very high standards that the public demands.   Professionals concerned with promoting community safety and security profit significantly from the training, skills and tools that the CJC-CLD educational experience provides.   As a result, long-term beneficial relationships must be continuously built on mutual confidence and trust. The criminal justice agency that becomes a Credible Leader Organization (CLO) and the individual who becomes a Certified Credible Leader (CCL) receive validation in the following ways:

  • Continuously developing leaders – The agency will be recognized as being in the forefront of effective and credible leadership development.
  • Exemplifying high moral and ethical standards – The agency is encouraged to champion high ethical and moral standards.
  • Demonstrated community leadership – The agency will be empowered to grow in its effect and leadership role in the community.
  • Acknowledgement as change agents – Certification demonstrates an  individual’s ethical competency-based skills with measurable outcomes for the agency and the community.
  • Recognition as an authentic leader – The professional gains recognition as an accomplished and authentic leader who engages in ethical and effective behavior with progressive team and organization development practices.
  • Development  of the whole person – The professional will receive training that will engage the growth and have a positive impact on family, his/her organization and the community.

  • "I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word."
