Administrative Officers Management Program
Description
The Administrative Officers Management Program (AOMP) is a unique educational program for law enforcement professionals. Three times a year (Spring, Summer and Fall), a class of 30 participants lives in residence at the NC State Highway Patrol Training Academy, located in Raleigh, NC, for an intensive 12-week academic program during which they earn 15 college credits and a certificate of completion. Participants, who come from across the U.S. and international locations, are nominated by their department or agency.
Career prospects
(What can I do with this program of study?)
AOMP is a partnership that brings together the theoretical perspective of the faculty and the practical experience of police officers in an effort to produce the effective and efficient public management techniques that are demanded in these increasingly complex times. In this partnership, the most up-to-date research in management and leadership is always placed in the context faced by law enforcement administrators. This “theory into practice” perspective gives participants the opportunity to make meaningful change in their organizations.

(What will I learn?)

Admissions requirements
(Is this the program for me? How do I apply?)
Departments and agencies are invited to nominate candidates for admission. Candidates are evaluated on the basis of prior academic work, demonstrated ability to work at the academic level required by the program, and the candidate's assignment within his or her organization indicating management responsibilities or expectations.
Applications must include:

All AOMP participants must take the full load of 15 credits during the 12-week program; there is no provision for part-time participation. Participants will receive credit for their course work on a North Carolina State University transcript, which will also state that they have earned a certificate of completion.
