Greensboro Police Captain Appointed to Board of Southern Police Institute


GREENSBORO, NC (Aug. 14, 2015) –Captain Shon Barnes, a fifteen year veteran of the Greensboro Police Department, was recently appointed to the 2016 Executive Board of the Southern Police Institute.

The Southern Police Institute (SPI) is an advanced education and training institute whose mission is to enhance the professional development of law enforcement practitioners.

As Third Vice-President, Barnes joins other senior law enforcement officials from throughout the country providing educational and career development programs that are designed to challenge and to prepare law enforcement practitioners for the demands of today and tomorrow.

“I am extremely humbled to represent our department and our city on the SPI Executive Board,” said Barnes. “Being a part of this prestigious institute is in concert with GPD’s vision of being a national model for exceptional policing. Our department has a lot to share – and a lot to learn – by being more closely involved with this organization.”

Barnes’ appointment also landed Greensboro as the host city for the Institute’s 2018 National Police Conference which draws approximately 150 national and international law enforcement executives to a multi-day program.

“To get the Conference here, I had to promote the city of Greensboro to a panel,” said Barnes. “Another officer was also petitioning for his city to host the conference. I am very excited that the SPI chose Greensboro as the location for its conference. We can offer the attendees good accommodations and many kinds of recreational activities.”

Barnes is also an adjunct professor at NC A&T State University. Additionally, he co-authored a paper for the Bureau of Justice Assistance entitled “Making Leadership Count: Implementing Effective Partnerships and Alternative Structures”.

“Captain Barnes is a natural and perfect choice to be on the SPI’s board,” stated Police Chief Wayne Scott. “He is an analytical thinker with a passion for his profession. He takes every opportunity to study difficult issues facing law enforcement today, and finds creative solutions that benefit everyone in our line of work.”

Since its creation in 1951, The Southern Police Institute has been consistently ranked among the top law enforcement educational and training schools in the nation.

The Southern Police Institute (SPI) is a division of the Department of Justice Administration, College of Arts and Sciences, University of Louisville.
