| LOUISIANA STATE POLICE COURTESY LOYALTY SERVICE Colonel Michael D. Edmonson, Superintendent TROOP L- NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Release Date: December 30, 2008 Lieutenant John Riles Graduates from the Northwestern University School of Police Staff and Command Louisiana State Police Troop L is pleased to announce the recent graduation of Lieutenant John Riles from the School of Police Staff and Command (SPSC) at Northwestern University. Lieutenant Riles has successfully completed the ten (10) week Staff and Command program held in Evanston, Illinois from October 6, 2008 – December 12, 2008. This program, which was implemented by the Center for Public Safety in 1983, has graduated over 8000 students both nationally and internationally. Lieutenant Riles was a student in SPSC Class 275 which accommodated a total of 31 students for the ten week period. During his stay at the school, Lieutenant Riles was elected president of Class 275. As president, he was the coordinator between the university and Class 275 throughout the 10-week course. Lieutenant Riles stated, “being part of Class 275 was one of the best learning experiences that I have had in my career. There is one moment that stands out the most in my mind; Class 275 was presented with the opportunity to help a fellow officer in need. His loving wife and mother of his three children was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Through the hard work and generosity of others, Class 275 was fortunate enough to present a check for $17,000 dollars for a college fund for their children.” The School of Police Staff and Command provides upper-level college instruction in a total of twenty-two core or mandatory blocks of instruction and utilizes nine additional optional blocks of instruction during each session. The major topics of study include Management and Management Theory, Organizational Behavior, Human Resources for Law Enforcement, Budgeting, Staffing Allocation and Personnel Deployment. Each student is academically challenged through eighteen written examinations, projects, and quizzes, in addition to one research paper that are a required part of the curriculum. Upon successful completion, students may be awarded 21 units of undergraduate credit from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. The Center for Public Safety was established at Northwestern University in 1936 with the specific goal of expanding university-based education and training for the Law Enforcement Community. Since its inception, the Center has broadened its original objective and now provides a variety of courses and programs in the areas of Police Training, Management Training, and Executive Development. Louisiana State Police anticipates a variety of benefits from Lieutenant Riles attending this program. Many of the program's graduates do go on to achieve a variety of leadership positions within their respective agencies. Currently, over 750 graduates hold the title of Chief of Police and 39 of the 50 Directors of State Police Agencies are graduates of this program.
