LeadDiversity
This 10-month program sponsored by the Diversity Center of Northeast Ohio addresses participants’ personal impact on and institutional approaches to diversity issues. Emphasis is placed squarely on WHY diversity issues are critical to progress and what participants can do to facilitate positive change. SHPD graduates include Police Chief Jeffrey DeMuth (2020), Sergeant Troy Allison (2016) and Sergeant Parker Adrine (2017). In addition to these officers, the City has sponsored a City employee to participate in LeadDiversity every year since 2009.
