MUW police chief to attend FBI Command College
  
COLUMBUS, Miss. – Mississippi University for Women Police Chief Calvin Sellers was selected as one of the charter participants in Mississippi’s first FBI Command College.
   
He will fill one of only 30 open slots for law enforcement officials from Mississippi. Louisiana, which will also participate in the program, was only given 10 slots.
   
Sellers said he was honored to be selected given the small number of available openings.
   
The FBI Command College is an executive training program for law enforcement leaders. It will have a classroom setting and several seminars led by members of the FBI Academy and the FBI Jackson branch.
   
As part of the selection process, Sellers had to fill out an application and write a letter explaining why it was beneficial for him to be involved.
   
“I think it will be benefit me and the campus by building relationships with other law enforcement officials, but also building relationships with the FBI,” he said.
   
The program runs from July 31 to Aug. 5.
