Charles Sturt's Graduate Diploma of Leadership and Management (Policing and Security) ensures you'll be able to initiate, plan, implement and evaluate policing leadership activities and policies across your areas of responsibility.
Develop your approach to increase the public's understanding and engagement, and gain the tools to work constructively and cooperatively with the media. To operate effectively, police organisations need to communicate both internally and with the community. The public 'know' about crime and the work of the police from the media, and it is essential that police at every level in the organisation learn how to use communication to increase public understanding.
You'll explore the theoretical foundation of contemporary management thinking in the unique context of law enforcement, emergency service and security organisations. This will draw on the history of management theory, the evolution in thinking about management in the public sector and major developments in governance and accountability in law enforcement and security organisations in Australia and overseas. You'll refine your skills and knowledge towards the revision, analysis, consolidation and synthesis of knowledge and understanding of law enforcement and security, and identify and provide appropriate responses to complex challenges.
