COURSES

Training Description: This course will instruct the attendee on the importance of obtaining and analyzing the 911 call made

by individuals during homicides, alleged suicides and alleged accidental deaths. Thirty percent of all

Force in Dayton, Ohio. Lt. Harpster currently is the director of the Tactical Crime Suppression Unit

Training Description:

This three week “Leadership in Police Organizations” (LPO) training is a model based on leadership

curriculum that originated at the USMA – “West Point”. Through the efforts of Army officers who

served in the USMA’s Department of Behavioral Sciences and Leadership and experiences of police

administrators, this civilian version of the course was created.

As the IACP describes:

The IACP leadership model is based on the tenets of dispersed leadership which reflects documented

best practices in the public and private sectors, the military, and the justice system. It is rooted in

community oriented policing theory and addresses leadership as an agency-wide concept, reaching all

ranks and positions. In recognition of the diversity of police agencies and the communities they serve,

the model is designed to be adaptable to an agency’s individual mission and philosophy. Even though

the model is flexible, it has at its foundation a set of core values that reflect the nature of our

profession: duty, honor, service, dignity, respect for others, integrity, courage and loyalty.

This is a challenging training opportunity for law enforcement supervisors and managers that will

change your ideas on what constitutes “leadership”.

This is a three week program.

Who Should Attend:

Supervisors and managers in Law Enforcement agencies
