The Role of Leadership in Achieving Problem Oriented Policing Success

16-Hour On-Line Executive Leadership
OEDI Members $99 / Non-Members $199

In these ever changing times, we are greatly challenged as a profession. Community and agency relations are often strained and levels of trust are at best, in question. Achieving procedural justice and police legitimacy requires trust, and trust is only achieved through building positive relationships that require little verification and a sense of what is said to be done, will be done.

This course covers the SARA Model, which is something officers do every day. But so often when we get to the last A, “assessment,” we stop short. Before covering this model, you will have a chance to think deeply about the challenges you face and whether this effects what attitude you have towards your duties and obligations. This challenge will include the Peelen Principles, drafted by Sir Robert Peel in 1829 at the start of the London Metropolitan Police Department, which are still relevant today.

This on-line, fully interactive executive leadership course allows you to work through the course at your own pace. You can stop at any time and rejoin the course where you left off until completed. When the course is completed, you can print a certificate of completion, fill out an F-6 and send to DPSST.

Developing Your Leadership Brand

16-Hour On-Line Executive Leadership
OEDI Members $99 / Non-Members $199

The simplest definition of a leader is someone who has followers. A more complex definition is someone who influences collaboration among a group of people to accomplish a common goal. Based on either definition there is no title or level in an organization required to be a leader. However, to be a leader, it does take a willingness to act with intention among people toward achieving a goal. 

The way a leader goes about working with others to achieve that goal is considered leadership. In other words, leadership is the action of a leader. 

A leader’s action can establish mutual trust or diminish it completely, build a culture of continual improvement or get stuck in the status quo, encourage full engagement or something a lot less, exceed expectations or leave those served doubting value is even possible, and achieve more as a team than what any individual could accomplish alone or fall woefully short of any envisioned goal. 

This course blends theoretical models of leadership with real-world insights to explain how to effectively implement team strategies, rules, and practices that lead to exceptional outcomes for the leader, team, organization, and community of stakeholders. Topics covered include: personal development, situational analysis, motivation, communication, conflict management, team development, culture, performance management, and the leader’s brand. These are often called “soft skills” and are just as often noted as the most important skills of leadership – and the most challenging competencies any leader can develop.

This on-line, fully interactive executive leadership course allows you to work through the course at your own pace. You can stop at any time and rejoin the course where you left off until completed.
