Dear Law Enforcement Leaders, ILEA Graduates, and Faculty,

We are pleased to share the Summer 2026 edition of Roll Call, ILEA’s leadership and ethics publication.

This issue examines how law enforcement agencies can respond more effectively to mental health crises, emphasizing that officer training, co-response teams, and mental health courts work best when supported by well-funded community care and long-term follow-up services.

It also explores trauma-informed leadership and officer wellness, highlighting the executive role in recognizing stress, reducing stigma around help-seeking, and building a culture of trust, accountability, and support.

You will also find an important discussion of AI governance in law enforcement, including practical safeguards for using technologies such as facial recognition responsibly.

The issue introduces the LEADS Review—Legitimate Need, Error Rate, Accountability, Documentation, and Stakeholder Input—as a framework for managing risk and protecting public trust.

We also celebrate the graduates of ILEA’s 150th School of Police Supervision, recognize the professionals who support ILEA’s mission, and share upcoming programs focused on ethics, leadership, supervision, internal affairs, and command development.

Please enjoy and we thank you for your continued support.‌

National Police Woman Day recognizes the many women who serve in law enforcement and the leadership they bring to the profession.

Across the country, women in policing continue to make a lasting impact through their service, professionalism, and commitment to their communities.

ILEA is proud to support the development of law enforcement leaders and to celebrate the women who help shape the future of public safety.

This morning, a specialty course for telecommunicators hosted in partnership with the Caruth Police Institute — gathered in front of CAIL's education center in Plano for a flag lowering and moment of silence at 8:03 AM CST, the exact moment, twenty-five years ago, that United Airlines Flight 175 struck the South Tower.

Led by ILEA Director Gregory Smith and assisted by ILEA Administrative Manager Ryan Andrews, the class stood together in remembrance before returning to their program.

Twenty-five years later, we remain grateful for those who ran toward danger that day — and for those who carry that same spirit into their service now.
