SGR has been training public safety leaders alongside many other local government professionals since 2002 using the proven principles of Fourth Dimension Leadership. However, in 2011 conversations were held with a number of chiefs of police who were concerned that there was a tremendous need for a leadership development program that would better equip police officers to grow as leaders and managers within their organizations and communities. In particular, the upcoming "baby boom bust," in which huge numbers of senior police executives are eligible to retire in a very short timeframe focused attention on the need for law enforcement agencies to become far more aggressive in developing the leadership pipeline. They realized that while they are doing an excellent job training hard policing skills, they were not adequately preparing current and future leaders with the right leadership and management skill sets to thrive as large numbers of baby boomers retire and an increasing number of promotions occur.
These chiefs expressed a high confidence in SGR's Fourth Dimension Leadership model, but felt that it needed to have a more specific law enforcement context and emphasis to be most effective. After much deliberation and discussion, almost a full year was devoted to overtly contextualizing Fourth Dimension Leadership for law enforcement, and identifying exceptional presenters for this new leading edge Law Enforcement Leadership Academy.
The SGR Law Enforcement Leadership Academy provides leading edge thinking and leadership competency development, presented by leading thinkers in law enforcement, specifically designed for the law enforcement environment.
