In the Law Enforcement and Public Safety Leadership program, I have had an
opportunity to see how leaders in the law enforcement community are developing the profession.
As a part of this program I have had the opportunity to take part in the discourse associated with
the future of law enforcement. One of the learning outcomes for the program is to develop law
enforcement and public safety knowledge skills for the 21st century. As a part of this I have

Through this program I have been given the chance to review many situations in law
enforcement where the boundaries were being tested. I have had the chance to learn and interact
