The major topics of study include such critical topics as: Leadership & Management; Human Resources; Employee Relations; Contemporary Policing; Organizational Behavior; Planning & Policy Development; Budgeting and Resource Allocation; and Media Relations.
Each student is academically challenged through written examinations, projects, presentations, and quizzes in addition to a staff study research paper that are all required parts of the curriculum.
Great job Chief and LT!
