Two Lodi officers graduate from leadership academy

Two Lodi police officers graduated Thursday from the Los Angeles Police Department West Point Leadership Program.

Lt. Chris Piombo and Sgt. Steve Carillo join seven other police employees who have previously graduated from the program.

The 164-hour course focuses on various ways to look at leadership and challenges in law enforcement organizations, according to Lodi Police Capt. David Main.

The program was formed in 1994 when the LAPD and the West Point Military Academy collaborated to gather ideas on how to improve leadership skills.

Previous Lodi police graduates are captains Main and Gary Benincasa; lieutenants J.P. Badel, Chet Somera, Virgil Monroe and Steven Price; and Special Services Manager Jeanie Biskup.
