Hedenberg was one of only 60 men and women from New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania who attended the 27th session of the FBI's Mid-Atlantic Law Enforcement Executive Development Seminar (MALEEDS) in Princeton last month.
With 26 regional command colleges, MALEEDS is designed to provide leadership training for police chiefs and law enforcement executives.
It also "provides nightly networking opportunities to continue the learning experience outside of the classroom and encourages our attendees to foster relationships that will allow them to better themselves and their agencies,” MALEEDS President Chuck Davall, Jr. said.
Locally, the program is co-sponsored by the FBI divisions in the three states, along with active and retired law enforcement officers from the former Princeton Borough, Princeton Township and River Vale police departments, along with the Princeton University Department of Public Safety.
“We are extremely pleased with the success and development of Mid-Atlantic LEEDS and we will strive to continue to bring the best executive level training and networking to law enforcement executives from the tri-state area,” said River Vale Lt. John DeVoe, who is a member of the executive board.
Participation in the program is by invitation only and is awarded through an exceptionally competitive application process. Class size is limited to assist learning.
Graduates become part of the larger FBI-Law Enforcement Executive Development Association (FBI-LEEDA) organization, which provides leadership training to police officers throughout the year and has an annual training conference each spring.
