LEADERSHIP
Apply your leadership knowledge to volatile crisis situations
DECISION MAKING
Learn how to absorb information quickly, decide and revise
COMMUNICATIONS
Expand your ability to convey important details quickly
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 events 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.

But I Already Work Full-time… Would I Have Time?
We hear you. Only you know about the demands of your job or if you can “juggle” the demands of work, family, and school. That said, online courses are a great way to get the knowledge you need for career growth, without being tied down to a specific schedule, being out of the office for days at a time, or burdened by the expense of high priced tuition or travel costs. Split up into bite sized components, each course section can be completed over a lunch break in a week’s time – sometimes less. And don’t worry: if life gets in the way, you’ll have a whole year to complete the lessons on your own schedule.
