R1 803 CANCELLED Public Safety Leadership – The West Point Way – Hayden CANCELLED

Class CANCELLED

October 20 – December 19, 2025, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm

Credit Hours: 120
Course Number: R1 803

Description:

This course is a significant commitment in developing leaders in public safety organizations. It is designed for those who have an understanding of leadership. We present materials based on the psychological interactions between human beings, understanding what the science says about how people relate to one another. We also draw on our collective art learned through trial and error as leaders to share and recognize best practices. The artful application of sound leadership principles that enhance the motivation, satisfaction, and performance of the men and women in our community is one course goal.

The leadership theories and accompanying strategies are presented by exploring both past and present incidents of current activities (inside and outside the organizations). Organizations focus significant resources on trying to hire the right people, so why do officers or leaders sometimes engage in questionable or unethical behavior? The simple answer is a breakdown in leadership. But it’s far more complicated than that. We want to explore the leadership challenges you face as an individual, a leader, inside your teams, and as an organization.
