Managers and executives operating in a police and law enforcement setting need specialized leadership training and development. The Leadership, Diversity and Inclusion Centre has established a reputation for effectively preparing today's police leaders to work in an increasingly dynamic, complex and global law enforcement environment.

Courses offered

• Custom Leadership Coaching (CLC)
  Leadership is a journey and it is best traveled with a guide. The Custom Leadership Coaching Program at the College enables that journey by connecting participants with a qualified coach of their choosing.
  During a period of up to eight months, participants will schedule ten one-hour, one-on-one virtual sessions with their chosen coach. Each coaching session will explore an area of the participant’s choosing and all will combine in a coaching journey towards an identified goal.
• Enhancing Accountability: The Art of Difficult Conversations (EAADC)
  This course helps leaders break the cycle of conversations that delayed or avoided due to fear of conflict, emotional discomfort, or uncertainty about how to proceed. Participants learn how to prepare, structure, and lead conversations like these with clarity, composure, and empathy. This growth helps to transform uncomfortable conversations into a constructive dialogue that supports accountability and growth at the individual, team and organizational levels.
• Executive Development in Policing (EDP)
  The Executive Development in Policing program (EDP) is for high potential police and civilian senior managers and executives working in law enforcement. It is designed to enhance and evolve participants' leadership competencies, with a focus on strategic and emotional and social dimensions and an overarching goal of strengthening their leadership character. Participants will work through a series of four consecutive courses designed to progressively challenge them to be leaders who inspire, are visionary and are change agents.
• Financial Management and Budgeting for Police Services (FMBPS)
  This course provides law enforcement leaders with a practical introduction to financial management and budgeting in a public-sector policing environment. The course prepares leaders to engage in informed budget discussions, anticipate financial pressures, and confidently explain and defend budget decisions.
• Senior Police Administration Course (SPAC)
  This course is for individuals working in law enforcement who have had some supervisory experience and who are ready to accept the leadership challenges of more complex managerial roles. Participants learn how to improve and adapt their personal management and leadership skills to meet changing social conditions.
• Strategic Thinking for Leaders (STL)
  Leaders are called upon to make critical decisions in a complex environment while facing the constraints of limited resources. This course will introduce a model for strategic thinking and decision-making that guides leaders through four critical stages of strategic thinking.
