The Art of Strategic Policing Starts with Strategic Thinking
Policing has evolved over time. With Community Led Policing and Intelligence Led Policing; Are we safer now then we were before? If you watch your local news, read the newspapers or talk to community members, the answer becomes apparent. NO! While statistics can show otherwise, public perception is reality. Now where do we need to go? Is there a new or more advanced model of policing that we need to embrace? Do we need Strategic Thinking?

Global Connections – Back Yard Relations
An ocean away in a little farming village, a plan is being hatched to kill a person in your community as payback to protect family honour. Three weeks later a drive by shooting completes the transaction and your homicide team is called into action. A highway is blocked by protesters as a means to draw attention to a dispute in their homeland and your ERT responds and is accused of politically taking sides….is there a connection? With our communities becoming more and more diverse, do cultural influences overseas impact policing in our local communities? If so, how do we respond? What type of proactive action is required?

Building Your Executive Team's Strategic Capacity
is Critical to Your Career Success
Are you only as good as your team? Executives lead in political environments. Budgets, spikes in operational necessities, and jockeying for resources require your executive team to strategically position your organization. Your ability to influence outcomes is based on your team’s capacity to think strategically. Operationally you consider what if scenarios all the time…do you do that in your organizational leadership capacity? Is your executive team traditional in approach or can they be creative in finding solutions…have you built their strategic capacity? Can your career thrive if you don’t?

Critical Mistakes at Strategic Times – Can Your Career Endure?
At a hostage taking, a young officer panics and accidentally triggers a chain of events that leads to the death of a 7 year old hostage. The public inquiry is being called for and the press has already jumped to a conclusion. This is the second incident of harm to an innocent bystander in two months that can be attributed to your members. Can you be confident that your organization will be able to withstand the scrutiny that will follow? How do you avoid the critical mistakes that bring your organization down…or can you? Have you prepared for them and under examination will your actions meet the test?

Lessons Learned in Dangerous Times
In law enforcement, dangerous situations happen all the time. Operationally, what are the lessons learned?

In this real case study those questions will be answered by those who were there!

Political Astuteness – Part of Every Executive’s Tool Box
As every executive knows, political astuteness is part of the job whether you are dealing with Council, the public, the media, your union, or even your executive team. Your overall leadership competence may be undermined by your lack of political savvy. Those who succeed understand the necessity of having the required skill set. But what is political astuteness? How do you acquire the skill? Can you succeed in your career without it?

Surviving the Attack
A young female officer at a department function becomes uncomfortable with an innocent comment. The Chief Administrative Officer has reviewed your department’s expense forms and is now raising questions after you and he exchanged heated words regarding the upcoming budget. An overzealous political candidate has raised questions regarding the quality of police service in the community. It’s only a matter of time! You are only one allegation away from having your entire career blemished! While these allegations will not hold water, you will have to survive the personal and professional attacks on your integrity. What are the strategies that can assist you when they come gunning for you?

Financial Melt Down – Impact on Police Executive Career Plans
You have dedicated 25 to 30 years to law enforcement and now you are only one year away from achieving the personal satisfaction and relaxation that you deserve that comes with retirement. You had your plans made and retirement vacation mapped out. That was then. Now your retirement savings and financial position do not allow you to retire the way that you want to. Planning for your financial success during retirement is now more critical than ever. What are the current strategies given the markets and how do we make up the ground that we lost? And what if you have 5 to 10 years before you retire…what should you be doing today? Are there proactive financial strategies that you need to employ?
11:15 AM — 12:00 PM

Preparing for the Executive Interview
The time is right, the position and opportunity is right and the interview is next week…are you ready?
Despite your accomplishments and your abilities, the interviewing process can either launch your career into the next position, or it can put it dead in its tracks.
Feelings that “they should know what I have accomplished,” or that “they owe it to me, and not some outside candidate from a larger police service” maybe valid, but it won’t get you successfully through the interviewing process. In order to be viewed as the next in line, you will have to market yourself, toot your own horn and be readily prepared for questions like ‘What is my leadership style?’
You only get one opportunity to do it right. Your motto can’t be “I’ll do it right the second time!” What do you need to know and how can you make a successful first impression?
This presenter will address the key skills for all up and coming executives.
