Webinar on Tue Apr 11, 2023 at 3:00 PM EDT
Quality leadership in law enforcement is arguably more important today than at any other time in modern history. The national narrative and calls for police reform have added complexity to already challenging leadership roles. Moreover, law enforcement organizations may be restructured and reorganized, making agile leaders who can quickly and effectively adapt to new roles essential to their organizations. “Leadership Out of Your Comfort Zone: Best Practices & Proven Strategies for Success” presents an evidence-driven formula and tangible strategies for how individual leaders can succeed in new roles that are not directly related to their core expertise and training. Have you ever been promoted to a leadership position from an outside organization? Are you part of an executive leadership team or command staff with the shortest tenure in your organization, or the shortest tenure in the profession? Have you ever been the only female in a new unit, the only person of color, the youngest, the oldest, the one with a skill-set gap in investigations or as part of a tactical team? This presentation will adapt proven leadership principles for leaders seeking to become more agile and adaptable to succeed in new and challenging roles; roles that require sharpening existing leadership tools, developing new ones, and precise execution to be successful.

We are sad to announce that due to the COVID-19 virus we must postpone the WIFLE 21st Annual Leadership Training that was scheduled for August 3-6, 2020 at the Marriott Water Street Hotel in Tampa Florida.  If you made hotel reservations the hotel canceled the lodging and sent you an email confirming that cancellation.   The new date for our training will be August 16-19, 2021 at the Marriott Water Street, Tampa, Florida. We will continue to provide updates as appropriate. Stay Safe!

In the meantime, we are working with our speakers and our sponsors to offer virtual classes from July - December that will cover some of the subject matter that would have been offered this year. Watch the website for details.

El Paso Walmart shooting: CBP port director 'showed remarkable courage' in saving victims. U.S. Customs and Border Protection Port Director Donna Sifford was shopping on her day off when a gunman entered the store and began shooting Saturday morning at the Walmart near Cielo Vista Mall, CBP officials said. Sifford "showed remarkable courage" during the shooting, taking people to safety and aiding the wounded, acting CBP Commissioner Mark Morgan tweeted. "She provided first aid to a man who credits her with saving his life and she continued to run back inside to bring others out to safety," Morgan tweeted. "She is the embodiment of CBP’s core values and I am so proud of her."
