The Chippewa Sheriff’s Department shared the following:
Sheriff Travis Hakes of the Chippewa County Sheriff’s Office completed participation in the 2nd session of the National Sheriffs’ Institute (NSI) Communicating for Impact in Quantico, Virginia, September 15-19, 2025. This no-cost program is provided by the National Institute of Corrections, U.S. Department of Justice, in collaboration with the Major County Sheriffs of America.
Sheriff Hakes was selected to join 15 other sheriffs from across the country to attend the NSI’s second offering of this course, which focuses on enhancing a sheriff’s ability to inspire, motivate, inform, build trust, and lead change, while promoting and supporting their organization’s mission, vision, and values.
The NSI is the only executive leadership training program designed specifically for sheriffs to prepare them for all matters that impact the Office of the Sheriff. The NSI was first developed and presented in the early 1970s in response to a need by sheriffs to meet the evolving demands of the office.
