Strategic Planning
Police departments today are asked to do more with fewer officers, support staff and more importantly, less funding. How can a department remain effective and efficient? Through the use of Strategic Planning, departments will know where they are today, where they want to be in the future, and how they will get there. Strategic Planning is creating a vision of the future and managing towards it. It is a simple process with an incredible power to energize your organization and bridge the gap between short- and long-term goals.

Conversation with the Author
After reading a book, have you wanted to sit down and have a discussion with the author? Ask why they chose a specific quote or direction? We are pleased to announce the new series Conversations with the Author. This unique format connects law enforcement leaders together with the author. The first book of the series will focus on the work of two former law enforcement administrators and authors of the book Leadership: Texas Hold ‘em Style.
Using poker as an analogy for leadership, Dr. Andrew Harvey and Raymond E. Foster, both former law enforcement administrators, found the right mix of practical experience and academic credentials to write a definitive book for leaders. Most often leaders find they are given a set of resources people, equipment, funds, experience and a mission. As Foster noted, “You're dealt a certain hand. How you play that hand as a leader determines your success.”
