"Leading Change"
The Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) Education, Training & Professional Development Committee presents the 2023 Leadership Forum. This year's theme is 'Leading Change'.
The Leadership Forum is a learning opportunity that allows Ontario police personnel to discuss, explore, and exchange ideas on areas of mutual concern/interest in the field of law enforcement leadership and administration. This forum is designed to address practical, operational issues, and provide participants with the tools they need to deal with leadership challenges impacting their organizations. Whether you are a senior officer, frontline personnel or civilian manager, this is your opportunity to engage with your fellow police leaders on some of the most critical, contemporary policing issues today.
The program features areas of discussion on tactical issues, security and public safety, and police service challenges from many of our dedicated colleagues and current police leaders.
