This is a 2-day course; therefore, it will begin each day at 8:00am and end at 5:00pm local time.

In law enforcement today, women experience unique obstacles and barriers when seeking opportunity and promotion within their respective police agencies. Women still meet nearly all the household and family needs while fighting to balance non-traditional employment and the desire to achieve the challenge of new and exciting assignments within the police organization.

The number of female peace officers has stagnated in the last twenty years. This course will help the student identify why this is occurring and how to overcome significant barriers. The student will learn to develop leadership traits and apply tools to support a fulfilling career full of opportunity and advancement. Cutting edge leadership principles are discussed in each lesson to prepare for the progression of the student’s career.
