Announcing New Online Course – Effective Crisis Leadership
https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/effective-crisis-leadership-online-course/
Whether an active shooter event, a raging wildfire, or a hurricane involving multiple states, responding to crisis is an inevitable part of law enforcement, first responders and public safety’s duties.
Crises, disasters, or other emergency ev… Moreents are challenging and often ever-evolving situations. Leaders often find themselves making decisions without complete information, managing teams they’ve only just met, and in a pressure cooker environment where tensions are running high.
While you can practice and conduct joint exercises, no disaster or emergency response ever totally follows “the plan.” Even the best of leaders can falter during a crisis response. But there are ways to navigate these challenging situations for even the first-time leader.
This online course, taught by Dr. Jeff Fox, PhD, pairs the two subject areas of Crisis or Disaster Response, with Leadership. We will examine the skills needed to be an effective crisis leader including leadership styles, how best to communicate in a crisis, the team concept, and the human component of a crisis. Further, we will also look at how leadership can and should function during the prevention, mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery phases of a crisis. We will examine decision-making and problem-solving as they relate to crisis management. And finally, we will look at how we might use after-action reporting to enhance future responses.
Announcing New Online Course - Every Day Ethics - Developing and Maintaining Individual and Agency Ethics
https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/developing-and-maintaining-the-individual-and-organizational-ethic-online-course/
This course is specifically designed to examine ethical behavior in public safety and criminal justice organizations. We will examine what ethics means and various ways ethics is thought of and used in everyday life, with particular focus on the situations criminal justice professionals find themselves in. We will examine ethical responsiveness (or lack thereof) and ethical approaches in public safety issues. We will also look at organizational responsibility, accountability, and liability. We examine personal accountability, responsibility, obligation, and duty. Finally, we’ll explore how we develop and maintain both individual and organizational ethics.
If you have ever looked at or experienced a situation where you felt there were a lot of “shades of grey” in the decision making process… then this course is for you. SKILLS
Advanced Leadership

To say that we live in trying times would be a severe understatement. Now, as much as ever, leadership is needed. The issues we face are complex and of monumental importance. Bobby Unser said, “Success is where preparation and opportunity meet.” Opportunity exists around every corner as do new challenges. This online course is designed to help attendees hone and further prepare advanced leadership skills. The material covered in this course will benefit any leader or potential leader regardless of their discipline, focus, or background. The concepts will be framed from and for a public service non-profit perspective. First, we will look at understanding and implementing leadership styles. We will then move to applying problem solving and decision-making skills. Moving along, we will address coaching and mentoring for better performance. We wrap up with managing and leading for greater efficiency and effectiveness. In each session we will consider academically sound yet practitioner-based techniques, skills, and best practices to address each topic.

This course consists of four sessions scheduled for 120 minutes each encompassing more than 8 hours of learning.
