21st Century Police Leadership (21 CPL)

21st Century Police Leadership (21 CPL)  is an intensive course designed to foster, train and empower law enforcement leaders.  Selected applicants will be assigned to a cohort that will receive this training during a 3-month period.  The primary courses embedded within this curriculum are Emotional Intelligence, Effective Communications and Cultivating Culture.  The delivery method for this curriculum will involve pre-course self-study work, 3 days in class a month (totaling 9 days of actual class time) followed by assignments and peer learning calls between courses.  A culminating capstone project will be required before credit can be given for completion of this program.

21 CPL was developed with full commitment to the following priorities:  Inspiring lifelong learning and that leadership training should be actionable.  Participants in this curriculum should be able to clearly see and understand how to apply what they’ve learned as soon as they leave the class with a clear understanding of why leadership is vital to the future of the law enforcement profession and how to use the tools practiced in class.  

To register for the course, contact your Training Manager to assign the training to you via Acadis.

Registration does not guarantee acceptance into the class.  Selections will be completed four weeks prior to the class; those accepted into the class will receive a notification at that time.
