Wake Forest Police Sgt. J. Jefferson graduated from NC State University’s Administrative Officers Management Program (AOMP) on Thursday, July 24.
The AOMP is a unique educational program for law enforcement professionals. Three times a year (spring, summer and fall), a class of 30 participants takes part in 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.
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.
A native of Warrenton and a 1992 graduate of Warren County High School, Jefferson graduated from Vance-Granville Community College in 1996 with an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Criminal Justice. He joined the Wake Forest Police Department in September 2006 after serving 10 years as a Detention Sergeant with the Wake County Sheriff’s Office.
