City Of West Carrollton

Congratulations to Sgt. Bobbie Selmon on her recent graduation from PELC - Police Executive Leadership College. PELC is a three-week executive leadership training program spread out over three months each session. PELC is based on the premise that leadership skills can be learned, and that given the opportunity for feedback and practice, executives can substantially improve their abilities to lead. PELC provides law enforcement executives with one of those rare moments in their professional careers to learn how to practically apply leadership concepts. It is an intensive learning experience focused on leadership skills vital to long term personal success and change in the organization – both for the benefit of the community. Congratulations, Sgt. Selmon!
