Cal Chiefs announces exciting
new and refreshed training
The California Police Chiefs Association opened its 2013-14
Training Programs back in July and since then the classes have
been filling up fast. We listened to your survey feedback when
we asked what kind of training you would like to see offered.
Based off of these results, we adjusted the formatting of the
Role of the Police Chief course in addition to adding many
new instructors. Furthermore, we also added two brand-new
courses: Peer Support and The Leadership Challenge.
Role of the Police Chief
The course is now four full days and
now includes topics such as; preparing for
the position of chief of police and how to
be competitive when applying; shaping
public policy; labor relations and personnel issues for the police chief; public
engagement: a vital leadership skill; and,
crisis communication and leadership. The
material is presented using a combination
of learning techniques, including attendee participation, small group discussion,
lectures, scenarios, and discussion panels.
Attendees have an opportunity to interact
with experienced police chiefs, city managers, executive search consultants, police
legal advisors, and other experts who
specialize in the aforementioned topics.
If it has been a while since the last
time you took the Role of the Police Chief
course, we encourage you to register for
the 2014 dates. We think the following
feedback speaks for itself; “Very good instructors, and excellent handout material.”
“Having attended this course in 2005, the
current revised format and contemporary
content is excellent. Not to mention very
applicable for any chief or seconds in
command.” ??VffV7F?fR?VFW'6????F?R?VFW'6??6???V?vRf? ???6RW?V7WF?fW0??F??26?W'6R?2&6VB??F?R?VFW'6??6???V?v\*??v??6?Wf??fVBg&??&W6V&6?FWfV??VB????2'??????W?W0??B&''??6?W"v?V?F?W?6WB?WBF???F?66?fW"v?BV??RF?Bv?V?F?W?vW&P?BF?V?"W'6???&W7B???VF??r?F?W'2??W?W2?B?6?W"F?66?fW&VB6W'F??&V?f??'26??????76?6?FVBv?F??VFW'0?v????RW?G&?&F??'?F???w2?V???&v?F???2?BWfV?GV??w&?WV@?F?W6R&V?f??'2??F?F?Rf?fR&7F?6W2?`?W?V??'??VFW'6?? *???GFV?FVW2v???&Vv??F?R??W&?W??`??VFW'6??FWfV???V?B'?6???WF??p?&R?6?W'6Rv?&?v?F?F?R?VFW'6?? ?&7F?6W2??fV?F?'???"???3c?FVw&VP??VFW'6??76W76?V?B7W'fW?F?B6W'fW0?2F?Rf?V?FF????bF?R6?W'6R?F?R6?W'6P??2??v????FW&7F?fR?B?2FW6?v?VBF??v?fR'F?6??G2??G2???W?W&?V?6R??????rF?Rf?fR&7F?6W2?'F?W&??rf?"7V66W73??F?R&??R?bF?R??6R6??Vn( ?0?W?V7WF?fR76?7F?@??F??26?W'6R?2??r???G26V6??B?V ?6??6R6???WFV?&Wf???rF?Rf?&?B??F??726?fW&VB??F??26V??"??6?VFS??&W7??6?&??F?W2?bF?RW?V7WF?fR76?7F?B??&V??fR6???V?vW2?'F?W&??rv?F???W ?6??Vb?F??R??vV?V?B?B?&v?F?????BF?ff?7V?Bb7&?6?26?GVF???2??F?RGv??F?6?W'6Rv???v?fRGFV?FVW2F?R??'GV??G?F?6?VW7F???2g&???V??b7W'&V?B??6R6??Vg2?BF????FW&7B?B'V??B&V?F???6??2v?F?F?V? ?VW'2?F??26?W'6R?2FW6?v?VB??B????f?"7W'&V?B6??Vn( ?2W?V7WF?fR76?7F?G2??'WB?6?f?"F??6Rv??f?????GW&??rF?V? ?'6V?6R?2vV??2F??6Rv??&R??F?P?F?F?&V6???r?W?V7WF?fR76?7F?B???F?RgWGW&R?F?R&V?F???6??&WGvVV?6??V`??B76?7F?B?2G'VR'F?W'6?????P?v?????Bv?BF??72?WB??6V?F??r??W ?76?7F?N( FGFV?FVW2&R6???rF??2?2F?P?&W7B6?72?WB??b??R?fR??VW7F???2&Vv&F??p?G&????r??V6R6??F7B?Vv?6Ff?@??6Ff?6?f?&????6V6??Vg2??&r?"??b??3#R?R?VW"7W?'C???6R6??V`?7W'f?f???F?R#7B6V?GW'???F??2v?&?6???26????V?B?b?#"7G&FVv?2???F?F?fR?b6?f?&????6P?6??Vg276?6?F???F?FWfV???V?F?'6?? ?&?w&??B7W?'B?WGv?&?f?"?G0??V?&W'2?F?R76?6?F???&V?WfW27G&??v??F?BF?RVW"7W?'B6??6WG2FVv?BF???W"?ff?6W'2?ffW"?V6??VVFVB76?7F?6P?F?&?F?&W6V?B?BgWGW&RvV?W&F???2?`?6??VbW?V7WF?fW2?F??2v?&?6???27V6?f?6??FWfV??VBF??V?W7F&?6?7W?'@??WGv?&?f?"??6R6??Vg2??F?Rv?&?6??v???6?&RW???W0??b6??FV??&'?7G&W76gV?6???V?vW2?@?F?V?"&V7F???2f?"vV?7?4T?( ?2?VffV7F?fP?7G&W72&VGV6??r7G&FVv?W2f?"7W'f?f??r???F?Rv?&??6R?BB???Rv???&R?6???ffW&VB??d??#2?6?f?&????6R6??V`??#???
