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 his efforts, the 73rd Texas Legislature renamed the Institute in his honour in 1993. Public administration, management issues, the political, legal and social environments of policing, and advanced technical issues are studied in detail. The Bill Blackwood Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas (LEMIT) is the largest and most sophisticated statewide preparation program for police management in the United States. The stated mission is:
To provide an opportunity for current and future law enforcement leadership to acquire and develop the knowledge, concepts, and skills necessary to deliver effective law enforcement services in a free society.
