Several members of the command staff at Chester County Prison recently completed a leadership training program offered through the FBI’s Law Enforcement Executive Development Association, prison officials said.
The program, known as the FBI-LEEDA Trilogy, includes three courses: the Supervisor Leadership Institute, the Command Leadership Institute, and the Executive Leadership Institute.
Training in the series covers topics including ethical decision-making, organizational leadership, communication, and strategies for addressing public safety challenges, officials said.
“This accomplishment reflects our leadership team’s dedication to growth and to leading with integrity,” Acting Warden Brian Sheller said in a statement.
“Investing in professional development ensures that we remain responsive, forward-thinking, and prepared to meet the needs of those in our care and the community we serve,” Sheller said.
Prison officials said additional supervisors are expected to complete the program. By the end of 2026, the prison expects more than 25 corporals, sergeants, lieutenants, and other supervisors to graduate from the FBI-LEEDA program.
Chester County Prison officials said the training is part of ongoing efforts to develop leaders and support staff while maintaining public trust.
