I left the LAPD after 5 years. Had more officers and supervisors been trained in the techniques and concepts presented in this class, I would have continued my career at the LAPD. Every officer, supervisor, and command staff (from any agency) should take this course to better not only themselves but their personnel. Leadership is not optional, this course lays a framework to be the best leader we can and thus changing the culture and happiness of our agencies.
