The Art of Strategic Policing Starts with Strategic Thinking
Leroy D. Baca
Sheriff
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department
Policing has evolved over time. Community Policing then 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, more advanced model of policing that we need to embrace? Do we need Strategic Thinking?

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. 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 community? If so, how do we respond? What type of proactive action is required?

Chief of Police

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?
Julian Fantino
Police Commissioner
Ontario Provincial Police
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 already 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 mistake that can bring your organization down…or can you?

Building a Successful Career
Armand P. La Barge, O.O.M.
Chief of Police
York Regional Police
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 career success may be undermined by your lack of political awareness. Those who succeed understand the necessity of having the required skill set. But what is political astuteness? How do you acquire the skill? Can it be over used? Can you succeed in your career without it?

Surviving the Attack
Barry MacKnight
Chief of Police
Fredericton Police Force
Wendy Southall
Chief of Police
Niagara Regional Police Service
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 over zealous political candidate has raised questions regarding racial bias in your department. 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 and the low morale that no doubt will hit your entire department. What are the strategies that will assist you when they come gunning for you?

Making Your Organization "Future Literate"
Chuck Wexler
Executive Director
Police Executive Research Forum
Successful executives of the future will have the ability to understand and embrace the fact that new models of leadership will have to be developed, adopted, and executed. They will recognize that the methodology of today will not be the methodology of tomorrow. Is your organization ready to embrace new business practices and operational concepts? Can that happen within your department?
11:30 AM — 12:00 PM
May 4 2010
Preparing Your Organization for the Next Catastrophic Event
Warren J. Riley
Superintendent of Police
New Orleans Police Department
We have all experienced the ride from one crisis to another that has required a shift in resources and emergency planning. Often this ride has been driven by sudden events, law suits, or complaints lodged by special interest groups. For example, organizations are now doing “pandemic planning;” yet this follows “SARS planning” and “avian flu planning.” You can bet there will be an XYZ pandemic within the next five years. Is there a sustainable strategy to address these issues?
In many communities there is a “Katrina” waiting to happen. How do you convince your community and your leaders that planning is necessary to be ready for this 100 year event? You know it is coming and it may be on your watch!
Successful leaders and successful organizations must have sustainable strategies in place to deal with both the anticipated and the unforeseen. We have all the experience and knowledge we need to predict what is coming and to build organization capacity to deal with the waves. But is there an intellectual shift that is necessary to kick start the process? What is required to prevent departments from seemingly bouncing from crisis to crisis with great public turmoil?
