Police Chief Shults graduates from SECLA
Newport Chief of Police J. Maurice Shults recently graduated from the South Eastern Command and Leadership Academy in Chattanooga. The academy is offered by the University of Tennessee Law Enforcement Innovation Center, with classes offered through the University of Tennessee Chattanooga. The nine month program strives to develop innovators and leaders by preparing mid-level and senior level police supervisors to lead a law enforcement agency. It enhances skills, knowledge and abilities of current law enforcement commanders and challenges them with critical thinking and problem-solving activities. Chief Shults served as secretary of the class and was awarded the Innovator Award which honors the outstanding innovator of each class. “I am honored to have had the opportunity to study with such a diverse and talented group of Police and Sheriff’s command staff members. I am humbled by confidence placed in me by my classmates. This is by far the most intense training I have been able to attend during my career. I was fortunate to be awarded a scholarship from the Tennessee Association of Chiefs of Police. I hope to use the 12 college credits that I earned toward the completion of a criminal justice degree.” Chief Shults was honored at a March 8 reception at the police department for his hard work and dedication.
