2025 ETI Small Agency Training Scholarship Recipients

The Minnesota Chiefs of Police Foundation is dedicated to supporting the growth and development of law enforcement professionals across the state. One of our most impactful initiatives is the Executive Training Institute (ETI) Small Agency Training Scholarship Program. We continue to expand this scholarship, making essential training more accessible for Chiefs from small agencies.

This year, we've increased the number of scholarships to 24, reinforcing our commitment to helping smaller agencies overcome budget limitations and access critical professional development.  

ETI is a world-class annual training event and expo that draws more than 400 law enforcement leaders from across Minnesota. This premier professional development opportunity features nationally recognized speakers and experts in law enforcement. ETI enhances the skills, knowledge, and leadership capabilities of law enforcement professionals.

With approximately 170 agencies in Minnesota having 10 or fewer officers, we recognize the challenges they face in securing training opportunities. By growing this program, we're ensuring these agencies have the resources they need to serve their communities effectively.

A huge thank you to our partners, donors, and community members who make this possible! Together, we're making a lasting impact on law enforcement across Minnesota.

Congratulations to this year's ETI Small Agency Training Scholarship recipients!
