EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP FOR CHALLENGING TIMES:

"Recruitment and Retention in Challenging Economic Times"

September 29 - October 1, 2009

The Police Executive Development Series (PEDS) is an innovative program of leadership development seminars specifically designed to address the limited number of high quality development experiences available for police executives. With PEDS, timeless leadership issues such as strategic thinking, managing change, innovative problem solving, developing people, building control systems, and handling political situations are linked with timely current issues such as homeland security, crisis leadership, and police ethics and integrity. PEDS integrates both theory and practical application skills to form a complete skill-building package that the progressive police leader can apply immediately.

This year’s program addresses recruitment and retention issues for police agencies. The list of presenters includes Congressman Michael Rogers, Ron DeLord, from CLEAT, Dr. Jeremy Wilson, School of Criminal Justice, Michigan State University, Mike Polzin, and Julie Brockman from the School of Industrial Labor and Relations at Michigan State University.

How is PEDS Different?

PEDS offers a distinct approach to leadership development. PEDS takes an action learning approach with the assistance of field experts. In other words, PEDS puts the police leader into direct contact with specialists who can assist them in applying leadership skills within their respective agencies. The Series targets police executives and those identified as having high potential for reaching executive level positions.
