Northampton County Sheriff David J. Dalrymple has completed a national executive development program at the National Sheriffs’ Institute (NSI) held in Aurora, Colo., between Aug. 31 and Sept. 4.

The NSI is the only national executive development program designed for sheriffs. This no-cost program is co-sponsored by the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) and the National Sheriffs’ Association (NSA).

Dalrymple joined 26 other sheriffs from across the country for training on contemporary challenges facing America’s sheriffs today. In light of those challenges, the sheriffs explored the role of the local sheriff in providing effective leadership for the public good in such areas as public safety, criminal justice system policy, community relations and organization effectiveness and efficiency.
