Public Safety Leadership Initiative

What We Offer

The Public Safety Leadership Initiative develops next generation law enforcement leaders through its three distinct programs:

• The Administrative Officers Management Program (AOMP) introduces mid-career public safety supervisors to the latest innovations in management thinking and practice.  The unique five-course curriculum allows participants to work closely with graduate faculty from NC State’s nationally ranked MPA program. 
• The Law Enforcement Executive Program (LEEP) delivers executive-style training to aspiring public safety CEOs.  The topics and schedule align with the particular needs of officers from smaller agencies. 
• The Police Leadership Lab (PLL) bridges the gap between police practice and research.  The lab undertakes projects designed to improve the effectiveness of law enforcement organizations.
