Course Description

Years of research on the current trends impacting police organizations throughout the Atlantic region culminated in the combination of traditional lessons with up-to-date evidence-based processes that create this innovative and reflective program. Through extensive connections and interviews with police members we have developed the program that best fits the leadership needs of a modern police team.

The nine days of learning are a combination of experiential learning mixed with a wide variety of models that can be applied to develop individual leadership capacities; however, the learning also requires a deep amount of self-reflection. The facilitators pose questions around the essential skills of a successful leader in contrast to the natural strengths and unconscious blind spots of the learners.

Part of the learning experience uses tested personality and behaviour inventories to allow for deeper discussions including stress inventories, personality style assessments and emotional intelligence metrics. True leadership development simply does not happen without deep self-reflection and we incorporate the tools to do that. We will apply the Big Five personality styles indicator and the PXT Select Inventory process to name just two of the multiple inventories we will use to help you discover the path to the applied science of leadership in a public safety environment.

On completion of the course, participants are offered the opportunity to complete an organizational project customized for their own team by applying the skills and knowledge acquired during the training, where our instructors will provide coaching and mentorship for the full six months of the project. 

From theory to knowledge acquisition to project implementation, participants are completely supported. There simply is no other leadership development learning experience like this.
