Institute for Credible Leadership (ICLD) The Minnesota Sheriffs’ Association has a robust eLearning site, called MNLET. There is a wide variety of courses available, including our leadership development courses, called ICLD. The ICLD System is a four phase, on-line, leadership learning system. Each phase is divided into modules and phases I - III take approximately 40 hours each to complete with Phase IV taking 75 hours. Individuals may also choose (or be assigned by their agency) to study certain individual courses which vary in size and time to complete. Along with the leadership training, ICLD will be the backbone of future online trainings and resources for MSA.
