WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE (WLI)

The IACP Center for Police Leadership and Training, with funding from Motorola Solutions Foundation, proudly introduces a new leadership certification program, the Women’s Leadership Institute (WLI). The WLI program is a five and a half day, 46-hour course, focused on the unique challenges facing women leaders in law enforcement. To develop current and future leaders, the curriculum focuses on enhancing the business, leadership, and personal effectiveness skills of female leaders. The course is open to female and male, sworn and non-sworn personnel serving in supervisory positions, and to senior patrol officers aspiring to become supervisors.

This interactive program uses senior women instructors and mentors from United States and Canadian law enforcement agencies and operates in an intensive experiential learning environment. Theories included in the program are gleaned from IACP’s research on leading people, groups, and change. Other topics covered include: effective communication and conflict management; career mapping; fair, impartial, and ethical policing; transformational leadership; and stress management. Evening sessions include one-on-one time with instructors and mentors to assist participants with designing a strategic plan for their career.
