Graduating Class
On Monday, December 3, 2012, thirty one members of the Boston Police Department completed Suffolk University’s Certificate Program in Public Safety and Leadership. The Certificate Program is designed to arm police and civilian supervisors with the leadership tools needed to effectively motivate, support and inspire all those that they manage and supervise.
Said Commissioner Ed Davis, “I’d like to congratulate and commend all of tonight’s graduates. Your being here and participating in this program says to me and the citizens of our fine city that being the best at what you do is important to you. Supervising and supporting people is a challenging task but, hopefully, the lessons learned in the program will render that challenge less daunting. As leaders in the Boston Police Department, much is expected of you. Your ability to motivate and inspire those you supervise directly impacts our ability to effectively deliver services to the citizens of our fine city. What you do is hugely important and your decision to participate in this program is greatly appreciated.”
The curriculum included and covered course work in the following areas:
- Strategic Decision Making
- Leadership Challenges
