Leadership Skills for Law Enforcement

LSC) for

Law Enforcement

3-Day Schedule

The law enforcement arena is an atmosphere that is constantly changing due to social, economic, political, and technological shifts, making it necessary to be adaptable and flexible for mission success. In this course, participants will learn how to become transformational leaders in a law enforcement organization. A transformational leader is a leader who embodies many attributes. They are visionary and can clearly communicate the organization’s vision to the workforce to successfully direct the execution of the organization’s mission statement; they have the foresight to identify future challenges and how to handle them; they are constantly engaging the workforce and involving them in important decisions and mission planning, and they help the workforce perform their best so they can continue to grow professionally as subject matter experts and as future leaders.

During this course, we will discuss the three types of leadership models, leadership styles and the organizational climates they create. Participants will learn about personality preferences and appropriate decision-making styles, and how they impact their followers. We will discuss Stephen Covey’s seven habits of highly effective people, how to provide feedback effectively using a well-known and established model, how to overcome communication barriers that preferred communication styles can create, how to identify individual change style preferences to effectively handle organizational changes and lead people through change, how to successfully coach others using a proven coaching model and how to utilize effective communication skills that directly impact the cohesiveness of an organization and how it is aligned to the mission and overall strategic vision. Participants will also learn about systemic conditions inherently present in all organizations and the communication barriers that these conditions can create, which can contribute to a breakdown in partnerships, the key to any organization’s success. 

During this course, participants will be engaging in thought-provoking interactive activities.  This course will culminate with a final capstone activity in which the course participants will be required to identify a real-world leadership challenge they want to work on using the skills and models outlined in this course.

This 3-day course will give participants invaluable skill sets to enhance their leadership capabilities to forge trusting partnerships with their teams and stakeholders. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the people they interact with on a day-to-day basis, helping to promote trust and respect while encouraging motivation and success in the workplace and amongst the workforce.
