Louisa Police Department
The Louisa Police Department would like to recognize Patrolman Teddy Newsome who was recently awarded a certificate of achievement in career development for Intermediate Law Enforcement Officer.
The Career Development Program (CDP) began in January of 2003 and is administered by the Kentucky Law Enforcement Council. It is a voluntary program that recognizes you as a law enforcement officer or telecommunicator for meeting specific standards within training, education, and experience as you proceed forward in your career. Professional certificates are awarded to law enforcement officers in the career paths of patrol, investigations, traffic, advanced deputy, and management. Telecommunicators can earn a certificate at the basic, intermediate, and advanced levels as well as in management.
503 KAR 1:170 states the definition of and the statutory requirements for the Career Development Program for peace officers and public safety dispatchers for the Kentucky Law Enforcement Council.
The CDP encourages you to organize your training which results in the study of a focused and comprehensive body of knowledge within a particular career path. It assists you in setting training and educational goals from year to year. To earn a certificate you must take certain core training courses and/or courses that teach you a specific technical, human, or conceptual skill. In addition, you must also meet requirements in full time experience as well as education through a college degree or by accumulating educational training points from annual training or college hours completed.
