Executive Session Police Leadership

The FY 2015 Adjudication and Law Enforcement National Initiatives: Improving Responses to Criminal Justice Issues Competitive Grant Announcement focuses on national initiatives to improve the functioning of the criminal justice system, specifically by (1) providing training and technical assistance (TTA) to jurisdictions engaged in problem-solving justice initiatives; (2) training judges on advanced criminal justice topics; (3) improving public trust and confidence in the court system by promoting procedural justice; (4) providing TTA to jurisdictions engaged in capital case litigation; (5) providing TTA to prosecutors interested in diverting addicted offenders to substance abuse treatment in lieu of prison; (6) convening prosecutors to implement innovative policies and strategies; and (7) developing an executive training session for police leadership.

The goal of the Executive Session Police Leadership Initiative is to develop and maintain multi-media and other resources on the Executive Session Police Leadership web site. This website is designed to provide resources to educate police leaders on 21st century public safety and includes fact sheets on current topics of interest, leader-on-leader career development profiles, podcasts with current police leaders, and an interactive learner’s marketplace.

The Center for Public Safety Innovation at St. Petersburg College proposes to enhance and maintain an interactive website containing research, education, and training resources for the Executive Session Police Leadership project. The upgraded and enhanced website will continue to provide information on ways to improve public safety. CA/NCF
