Description:

The Mid-Management Development Program is intended to fulfill the management training needs of sergeants, lieutenants, captains and department heads.  A law enforcement officer may earn the Mid-Management Certificate by successfully completing three required courses and two management level courses determined by the officer’s agency. These elective classes must be management level courses and must be a minimum of 24 hours each.  The POST required courses are:

  • POST Supervisory & Leadership Course
  • Instructor Development
  • Employee Discipline and Administrative Procedure

POST accepts various courses and vendors for each of these. To determine if a vendor or course will qualify, please email support@utahpost.org.

The two remaining mid-management level courses will be determined by the law enforcement executive of each agency based on the needs and mission of the agency.  Examples may include: instructor certifications on various subjects, or mid-level supervisory level courses.

The candidate will submit a letter requesting the Mid-Management Certificate with photocopies of the certificates for the three required classes and evidence of completion of the two mid-management level courses. Documentation will be submitted to support@utahpost.org for review.  After review and approval, the certificate will be issued in Acadis.
