ISSDA Members,

We are now registering students for ICLD training. This training is FREE for all current ISSDA Members. If your membership has lapsed, please go to www.issda.org to update your membership. 

The ISSDA’s Institute for Credible Leadership Development (ICLD) training program is an online comprehensive course of instruction designed to enhance leadership, ethics, character, team building and emotional intelligence training for all personnel. It is a part of the ISSDA's mission to provide continued resources to enhance the professionalism of the personnel who serve the citizens of Iowa.

This training is being offered at no cost to current ISSDA members, both sworn and civilian. The only expense involved is the cost of the textbooks that are necessary to successfully complete all four phases of the training. Information on where to obtain the required books and pricing is provided in the links listed below.  Our ICLD Committee researched purchase options for the textbooks and has included ordering information to assist you. The total cost for all textbooks is approximately $100.

Please email me your work email, first & last name, agency name, & whether you work in a sworn or civilian position. The training is individualized and at your own pace, within reason (There is a 2-year limit for completion).

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this process.

National Certification
 
Another component of the Iowa State Sheriffs’ and Deputies’ Association – Institute for Credible Leadership Development (ISSDA-ICLD) training program is the ability to extend the ICLD training to include National Certification through the Criminal Justice Commission for Credible Leadership Development (CJC-CLD). This is an optional certification process designed to acknowledge that the participant has met the requirements and training as a Credible Leader. For each phase of the ICLD (I – III) there is an optional accompanying CCL (I - III Star) certification process.
 
To be eligible for CCL certification, an applicant must:
· Successfully complete the associated phase of the ICLD program;
· Complete an on-online application and verify that they are in good standing within their agency;
· Pay the applicable CCL application fee; and
· Take an additional online course and successfully complete a comprehensive examination, which may include essays and other criteria.
 
The results of the additional online course and the comprehensive examination are graded and validated by commission staff and successful applicants then receive a professional certificate, suitable for framing, a lapel pin identifying them as a Certified Credible Leader (CCL) for the phase of the ICLD that they have completed, and the ability to utilize the official CCL designation.
 
In order to access the CCL National Certification link, the applicant must first successfully complete the associated phase of the ICLD training. The applicant’s Sheriff, or his designee, must then provide Ms. Sherry Bass of the ICLD management team ([email protected]) a list of employees who wish to participate in the CCL process and the specific ICLD level that they have completed. Ms. Bass will then provide them access to the appropriate level of CCL certification testing through the National Certification link on the ICLD desk top, as follows:

The Sheriff, or his designee, must also indicate if the employee will be paying the CCL application fee themselves or if the Sheriff’s Office is to be invoiced for the certification application fee.
The CCL application fees are as follows:
· CCL – I Star = $75
· CCL – II Star = $150
· CCL – III Star = $300
