DPSST IPSLEI Graduation
IPSLEI is a lot of work but the work is meaningful and pushes you to reflect on yourself as a person and a leader. I learned so much from my peers in the class and realized I’m not alone in this leadership journey. The instructors were great and the class coordinator was amazing. I would highly recommend this class to ANYONE who is in a leadership role. I believe supervisors and upper management should be required to take this training.

Strategies and Tactics for Effective Leadership
International Public Safety Leadership & Ethics Institute
Presented by
IPSLEI National Facilitators
​
This workshop explores the challenges public safety professionals face in common and unique events in the exercise of leadership. Using a scene size-up approach, leadership strategies are examined in a 360 perspective. Specific size-up tools are presented that allow the participant to consider a variety of leadership tactics, outputs, and desired outcomes. Participants will focus on perspectives for dialogue and size-up from a multiple leadership role perspective – personal, interpersonal, community, and organization. The interactive approach uses written and video case studies, personal growth activities, case-in-point dialogue, and small group processes.

IPSLEI Supports International Water Well Effort
IPSLEI was honored to assist the Alumni of the May 2017 Art and Practice of Adaptive Leadership Development (APLD) - (Harvard Kennedy School of Government) in providing a fully functional water well to the Village of Buiza in the city of Kamuli, Uganda.
​
Prior to this effort by the worldwide May APLD 2017 Alumni, the villagers had to walk seven miles one way in order to obtain drinkable water. The effort to provide life sustaining water to this village is but one outreach of the May APLD 2017 Alumni in their continual efforts to exercise global leadership and serve the needs of others .
​
IPSLEI's role in assisting with collecting donations and coordinating payment was but a small token for such a large and meaningful outcome. We salute the efforts of the May APLD 2017 Alumni as their values align with that of IPSLEI's mission to support those who serve the public safety.
