Relationships: From On-Duty to Off-Duty Work
Off-duty employment is a great thing. It provides additional opportunities for officers, strengthens ties to your community and the presence of uniformed police officers where there would otherwise be none. However, it is important to remember that every time an officer wears the uniform there is risk to your agency.

The Four Keys to Effective Police Leadership
People, places, the things they do, and the times they do them are four basic things that new officers need to know. Those same four points of focus can help senior and executive level leaders guide their agencies in a manner that promotes professionalism, attentiveness to the community, and officer morale and resiliency.
This presentation provides the participants with examples of how these four keys can facilitate effective leadership. Additionally, senior, and executive-level leaders are often in positions where they make critical decisions. Sometimes those decisions can be viewed as setbacks or failures. The presentation provides insight for law enforcement leadership to effectively deal with setbacks and move forward.

Leadership for a Lifetime: How the Past Prepares Us for the Future
This motivational presentation will cover what it takes to be a good professional and highlight the power of being a good person. I will illustrate how to take individual talents and apply them to the group setting to make an unstoppable and productive team. It is my belief that the ability to lead is present in everyone, regardless of their rank in an organization or irrespective of their situation in life. There are common characteristics that respected people and effective leaders share- most of these traits are developed by the individual rather than through the position they hold. This presentation will cover some of these most important leadership traits, as well as how each individual can use the lessons of yesterday to overcome challenges of today and capitalize on the opportunities of tomorrow.

Practical Leadership for Police Administrators and Supervisors: Re-Examining Leadership
Today agencies throughout the United States are struggling to attract and retain qualified police recruits. Police shootings, a relatively rare occurrence, are intensely scrutinized by the media and in many cases the facts are distorted or completely misrepresented. Prosecutors in some jurisdictions are quick to charge officers before investigations are complete and in some cases even begun in what can be described as “knee-jerk” decisions, or worse – politically motivated. And as police administrators we aren’t necessarily doing ourselves any favors. Today, even top level police administrators need to pay attention to the street level tactics (or lack of tactics) used by their officers – because frankly, we’re not.
Some shootings and some other uses of force can’t be avoided. Sometimes no matter what tactics we train our people on ultimately fail to prevent a tragedy. But the vast majority of the time, through careful analysis, we find that if our tactics were better the outcomes would have been much different. The mandate for that change has to come from the top of the organization. In this presentation, we will briefly examine the history of where we were “back-in-the-day” and quickly move to a discussion of where we are now. We’ll discuss the recruiting challenges and what successful agencies are doing to attract candidates – without lowering the bar. Leadership issues are broken down into practical, actionable, application. The program is fast-paced and includes rich mixture including reviews of contemporary incidents, video, analysis, lessons-learned, policy development, and candid class discussion. Significant emphasis is placed on getting rid of the “we’ve always done it that way” mindset.
