2008 International Conference
for Police & Law Enforcement Executives

Executive career development: Doing it right the first time

Continuing a tradition of what now is regarded as, the annual 'must attend' leadership conference for police and law enforcement executives, this conference brought together yet another high profile international speaker's list. Among the 28 public and private speakers, we had the privilege to hear from executives including: Lt. Col. Ret'd James L. Vance, FBI ACADEMY; Sheriff Leroy Baca, LOS ANGELES COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT; Superintendent Colin Campbell, QUEENSLAND POLICE SERIVCE, Australia; Deputy Chief Michael Perler, SWISS FEDERAL CRIMINAL POLICE and Commission William J. Elliott, ROYAL CANADIAN MOUNTED POLICE.

This roster, representing more than 8 countries, spoke of the importance of addressing key executive issues in a positive and successful manner. They shared personal experiences on issues such as their relationships with police associations, dealing with civil unrest, career development, personal financial stewardship, and organization morale.

“Doing it Right the First Time” was the result of many dedicated policing associations that joined together to support this valuable initiative; including the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, L’association des directeurs de police du Quebec, Surete du Quebec, and the Canadian Association of Police Boards. It is also from the tremendous support of the Service de police de la Ville de Montreal, the host department, that resulted in yet another successful conference.
