Leadership Lakeland is an annual program designed to identify and enhance the leadership currently existing in our community. The program unites leaders from diverse backgrounds and perspectives in order to increase their understanding of community issues and improve their ability to lead effectively. Leadership Lakeland offers its members a broad range of experiences and insights about the community: its people, its needs, and its services. 

As a part of that learning process, members are invited to visit the Lakeland Police Department. On that day they learn about all of the many components of the department, how it works, and meet many of the people that work here.
