The Executive Leadership Program (ELP) provides senior leaders with a 21st century approach to public safety by adopting a multidisciplinary and “whole-of-community” methodology. The program is a one-week course intended to challenge international public safety leaders and enhance their analysis, coordination, and response capabilities to the evolving threats to public safety. Structured specifically for public sector professionals and policymakers, it employs an interdisciplinary academic and experiential learning environment.
