Review of Literature: The objective of the review of literature is to provide participants with an opportunity to refine applied research and communications skills necessary for success at the command or policy-making level. The focus of the project is directed at issues relevant to contemporary policing, and specifically, to issues affecting the participant's department. Participants will identify a topic or issue of interest to their department followed by research and the composition of the review of literature. ILETSB Executive Institute staff will assist participants throughout the process ensuring a successful learning experience.
