History of LEMIT
The Law Enforcement Management Instutute was created by the 69th Texas Legislature through the sponsorship of State Representative Bill Blackwood to develop the administrative, analytical, and executive skills of current and future law enforcement officials without cost to either the participant or his/her agency. Due to Blackwood's efforts, the 73rd Texas Legislature renamed the Institute in his honour in 1993.
