Majors and Higher Executive Leadership Series

40 hours · 4 days $1,000 per seat For executive-level law enforcement leaders

The Executive Leadership Program is a four-day, immersive professional development experience designed to equip law enforcement leaders with the knowledge, frameworks, and applied skills they need to lead effectively at the executive level. The program moves participants through the full arc of modern law enforcement leadership — from foundational principles and self-awareness through the complex organizational, political, and operational realities that define senior command.

The curriculum is built around three core convictions: that leadership is a daily practice of behavior, not a title or rank; that effective leaders must understand and actively manage the environments — organizational, political, and community — in which they operate; and that people, not processes, are the most important resource any law enforcement organization has. Some of the modules within the course include “Leading Change”, “Technology in Policing”, “Wellness, Recruitment and Retention”, as well as many others.

Participants will engage with content that is research-grounded, scenario-based, and directly applicable to the challenges they face in their current and future roles. The program is designed to be honest about the difficulty of executive leadership in law enforcement today, and practical about what effective leaders actually do to meet those challenges.
