Future Leadership Development: The Policing Leadership Academy
What if the most powerful crime-fighting tool in your department isn't a technology — it's a leader? In this episode of Future Policing, Kenneth Corey, a career NYPD executive now leading the Policing Leadership Academy at the University of Chicago Crime Lab, makes the case that American policing has vastly overinvested in equipment and technology while neglecting the one thing that actually moves the numbers: leadership. If you lead a police agency — or want to — this conversation is for you.
Teaching Police Departments
What if we could displace the concept of a teaching hospital to policing? Police agencies as learning organizations is largely a function of leadership vision. Using the “displacement of concept” advances policing in ways we can only imagine now.
Innovation Exchanges
Policing generally seeks to innovate when there is a demonstrable public safety, political or community urgency to do so. In those agencies possessing a innovative influence within their cultures, innovation is driven by the realization that the social milieu in which policing exists today is constantly changing. To effectively serve their communities, these agencies understand that they need to change (innovate) too. By adopting a Innovation Exchange as a quick, easy and cost-effective innovation strategy, tomorrow’s policing leaders can better position their agencies to deal with an increasingly uncertain future.
