This was <br />an excellent opportunity to learn from expert instructors and experienced police executives as we <br />discuss contemporary issues facing public safety. There were over 200 educational sessions available <br />to attend. Sessions like: <br />Building Public Trust by being transparent: Talked about how you build a culture of trust between us <br />and the public and other elected officials. We do this by following our core values, officer professional <br />code of conduct our goals leadership visibility and preparation. <br />Data as a driving force: we talked about how data and intelligence drive our strategy for our daily <br />operations, how technology makes it accessible and affordable. How collaboration is necessary for <br />effective operations accountability and professionalism. <br />�-- Social Media challenges and opportunities: How to use social media to solve crimes, build community <br />support and enhance our daily operations. <br />Trust, Credibility peril, identifying the costs of increasing public scrutiny: We talked about how <br />agencies face more scrutiny than ever from citizens and the media all demanding more transparency, <br />more accountability and how this affects budgets and operational efficiency. <br />These are just a few of the classes not to mention the opportunities that I had at building partnerships <br />and exchanging ideas with folks just like me from agencies just like ours. <br />�- <br />
