Managing Situations and Oneself:
A Workshop for Patrol Officers on Surviving and Thriving in the Police World ©
After a few years on the job, patrolmen will benefit from the opportunity to pause and reflect on how their outlook and their lives have been affected by the unique demands of their chosen profession. As Dr. Kevin Gilmartin has found in his research on the how the job affects individuals, police work is a uniquely demanding vocation in that it requires its practitioners to operate for long periods of time in the context of unknown risk. Such exposure to this type of risk has clear emotional and physiological implications for all practitioners. In this class, we use the Gilmartin ideas on Emotional Survival ™ to present officers the opportunity to take a day and reflect on how this operates in their lives and to strategies for surviving and thriving in the police profession.
Executive Leadership
We use ideas drawn form a number sources, such as Dr. Ron Heifetz's "Adaptive Leadership" concept; Jack Welch's "differentiation" model; the Interaction Institute's Facilitative Leadership technique to craft a leadership development program for police executives. We encourage chiefs/commissioners/directors to take this course with their senior executive teammates, usually their top deputies. Creating and using executive teams is one of the big challenges for executives. This class aims to make these teams work.
Grants Workshop for Police and Criminal Justice Organizations
In this full-day workshop, we will help participants build their grant development skills to win new federal, state and private grants in order to further their organization's mission. Jim and Liz formerly served as director and deputy director, respectively, of the nationally-recognized Boston Police Department Office of Strategic Planning & Resource Development.
