The week was rounded out with the presentation of certificates to all of the attendees from The Scottish Police
College and the NJSACOP, as well as our own certificates of appreciation to our colleagues at both of our
international partners.
While this seminar stands on its own, it also fits into the overall NJSACOP
professional development portfolio. Participants receive units that can be
used towards qualification for the Accredited Chief/Command Executive
certification designation, a statewide, voluntary professional credentialing
program instituted and administered by the NJSACOP.
Additionally,
participants in the program are eligible for 3 credits towards a bachelor’s or
master’s degree at Fairleigh Dickinson University.
Quite naturally, I am proud to say that the program was an unqualified
success. However, anyone that knows anything about our Association
knows that we are not content to rest on our laurels. We are indeed
already planning for our next endeavor in conjunction with the College of
Policing, with plans for the next Senior Leaders Seminar already underway.
We are exceptionally fortunate to have developed a working partnership
with international colleagues, such as those at Police Scotland and the
Scottish Police College, and grateful for all that they have done to ensure
that this program was an unforgettable experience. In particular, special
thanks are owed to DCI Dave Annets of Leadership Lessons Ltd.,
Superintendent John Wyllie, Head of International Development and
Innovation Unit Police Scotland, Scottish Police College, and Fiona
Halliday,
International
Development
and
Innovation
Officer
International Development and Innovation Unit, Police Scotland. Dave,
John and Fiona went above and beyond the call of duty in their efforts on
our behalf. Dave is a true professional - a skilled police educator, an
experienced and accomplished police officer, and a great person as well.
We are truly indebted to him.
As future plans develop for other unique professional development opportunities we will keep you informed. As
the saying goes, “stay tuned.”
