TPCA: Developing Leaders For Texas Law Enforcement
Monday, August 2, 2021
This is a 120 hour course which is presented in three 40 hour weeks over a three month period. The course will provide instruction from the behavioral sciences that is both scientific and practical, with discussions, question and answer sessions, readings, video instruction and case studies as presentation methods. Detailed lesson information is included in the Student Guides. The course is designed for all members of any law enforcement agency sworn or civilian from FTO/PTO/1st line supervisor through the executive level.
Rationale:
A leader’s job is to achieve the goals of the organization and satisfy the needs of individual employees. In addition, a leader must develop individuals who are capable of making future contributions to organizational goals, acting like leaders when called upon, and becoming formal leaders in the future. Employees are increasingly looking to the leaders in their workplace to support their development as a whole person, not just as an employee who makes a job contribution. The leader must also develop the organization’s capacity to adapt to rapid change brought about by new environments and missions and to perform at higher levels in more complex situations. Frequently, leaders may find them-selves in situations where it seems impossible to accomplish all of these goals. This course will focus on such dilemmas.
