Leadership and Training Division - Deputy Leadership Institute -Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to DLI's - Frequently Asked Questions Page

If leadership training is designed for all department personnel, then why is the Institute entitled the "Deputy" Leadership Institute? Doesn't this name imply the exclusion of our civilian personnel?
To the contrary, we must remember what our legal and moral obligations are to the communities we serve. This is accomplished by: courts jails patrol detectives The services the front line deputies provide is the essence of our existence. We must be ever mindful that, as leaders, everything we do supports the deputies in those front line positions. Without you and your commitment to this organization this would not be possible. The support you give is essential to the very existence of this organization.
How do I sign up to attend the DLI?
All L.A. County Sheriff's Department employees are required to attend the Deputy Leadership Institute training. Check with your unit's Training and Scheduling staff for class availability and scheduling.
Does everyone attend the same class or is there a different class for supervisors?
All Department personnel will attend the same class together. There will be a balance of deputies, civilians, and supervisors. 20% of attendees will be from other police agencies.
The hyperlinks (underlined blue letters) to the articles on the Intranet at work don't function. However, when I view the DLI Internet Website at home, I can link to the articles. Why can't I access the Internet at work?
The Department's computers are presently unable to accommodate Internet access for every employee. If you are viewing this site via the LASD Intranet and the links do not function, contact your Operations staff and ask their assistance in obtaining a copy of what interests you. Some of the articles will ultimately be posted separately on the Intranet when copyright limitations have been resolved.
How do I become a DLI facilitator?
Future facilitators will need to attend additional training in order to be certified. Usually SLI is a prerequisite, however previous education and experience are also considered. Candidates are then required to attend a Facilitator course, where they will be judged by their peers. Selection is made from the remaining candidates.
