In a context of a rapidly changing society, the importance of developing adaptable, innovative, and diverse police leaders has never been more urgent. The Graduate Diploma in Police Leadership is designed to foster problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and scholarly reflection on policing in the 21st century. It is designed with a rapidly changing technological, political, social, and demographic landscape in mind and will provide police officers with a panoramic view and understanding of the evolution and the various decision-making contexts of policing, and ideally help foster life-long learning. Police officers will learn about the emerging trends, social science research methodologies, and outside influences that impact their profession; and will be provided with the skills to navigate, understand, and adapt to the complex nature of contemporary policing. The diploma is designed for officers already working in police services. Courses are delivered through a series of flexible asynchronous online modules where students work through the material at their own pace. Diploma students wishing to complete the MA in Criminology at Ontario Tech University can transfer diploma courses to the MA, should they be admitted to the program.
