NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Tennsun -- With a decade of proven success in public safety instruction, Tennessee-based firm Thatcher Lewis, LLC has announced the nationwide expansion of its leadership training services. Known for evidence-based instruction, the firm recently launched its national rollout with executive training sessions in Evanston, Illinois, marking a new chapter in its mission to support agencies across the country.

Founded by retired Police Chief Jon Fehlman, Thatcher Lewis has served as a senior faculty consultant for the FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development Association (FBI-LEEDA) and the Institute for American Police Reform (IAPR) since 2015. The firm has built a premier reputation by transforming decades of operational experience into applicable leadership strategies for modern policing.

"Our goal is to give public safety professionals the tools to lead effectively under pressure," said Fehlman. "This expansion allows us to bring tailored leadership classes to a broader national audience, meeting the specific priorities of each individual agency."

The effectiveness of the program was recently highlighted by Police Chief Schenita Stewart of the Evanston Police Department. Following a two-week intensive session, Chief Stewart noted that the curriculum "equipped sergeants with a practical focus on leadership they could immediately apply, strengthening our leadership team and enhancing our service to the community." The training covered vital concepts including decision governance, risk controls, and organizational culture.

Thatcher Lewis specializes in on-site, adaptable training for several sectors:

• Law Enforcement: Command staff and agency-wide development.
• Fire & EMS: Company officer and field supervisor leadership.
• Public Administration: City/county management and cross-department coordination.

In response to national staffing shortages and a shifting social landscape, Thatcher Lewis also facilitates multi-agency programs. These regional sessions, recently held for the Cape Cod Regional Law Enforcement Council, allow smaller agencies to access high-level training that might otherwise be out of reach, fostering stronger regional cooperation.
