Foundations of Executive Leadership in Policing | Carlsbad | February 2025

This is a POST certified course that serves as an informational pillar for police executives of any tenure, including newly appointed chiefs, executives who aspire to become the head of a policing agency, and tenured police chiefs and executives who want to achieve or continue success in policing governance.  The curriculum is also relevant and valuable for management-level police leaders who want to learn ways to better support their chief executives.

During this course, participants will learn, share, and discuss ideas and innovations to meet today’s expectations of police leaders to govern efficiently, effectively, courageously, and responsively. Participants will learn about executive recruiting and the competitive processes aspiring agency heads typically encounter in their quest to be selected; they will learn the considerations for establishing or changing agency culture, managing crises, navigating legal and legislative demands, the police role in city or county government, health efficacy for the police executive, and other thought-provoking concepts of influential executive leadership in today’s policing profession.

While FELP can be attended as a standalone course, it serves as one of three required courses for those who seek to earn their Executive Leadership Certification from the California Police Chiefs Association - a program committed to advancing the policing profession through inspiring and strengthening our law enforcement leaders.
