PURPOSE:
The Wilmington Police Department is seeking to use $26,500 of NC Drug Tax Revenue to send two senior Captains to SMIP - Senior Police Intensive Training Program.
BACKGROUND:
SMIP is a program of the Police Executive Research Forum (“PERF”) that provides senior police executives with intensive training in the latest management concepts and practices used in business and government. Captain Rodney Dawson is a senior Captain with the Police Department and will be attending the training course first. The Department will be sending another senior Captain (who will go has not yet been determined) to the training at a later date. The Department feels it will be beneficial for these senior Captains to have this additional specialized training
A demanding three-week course, SMIP brings together faculty from top universities, successful law enforcement chief executives, and subject matter experts from the private sector. It is designed for upper-level police executives who ultimately will lead police agencies. SMIP’s curriculum addresses the issues that demand the attention of today’s forward-thinking law enforcement leaders. Classes are held at the Boston University School of Law.
North Carolina Drug Tax revenue is a tax levied on people who unauthorized substances. Roughly 75% is returned to the state or local law enforcement agency who investigated, and the remaining is credited to the State’s general fund.
