ATF’s Law Enforcement Leaders of America (LELA) Program - Full Version

ATF’s Law Enforcement Leaders of America (LELA) program brings together an experienced, knowledgeable panel of executive criminal justice professionals to introduce the next generation of public safety leaders to the field. The program has been presented to Historically Black Colleges and Universities and other college campuses, offering students and faculty the opportunity to engage with panelists on how to succeed in law enforcement and support their communities.

LELA panels are coordinated through ATF and offered at no charge to participating campuses. ATF arranges the panelists, provides informational programs for distribution and prepares a flyer to help schools promote the event to students and the community. Immediately following panel discussions, students are invited to a networking session where they meet one-on-one with panel members, exchange contact information and learn more about the responsibilities and opportunities within each agency.
