Objectives
| Creating policy is a daunting task that requires a variety of skills. During this two-day program students will be exposed to a number of general issues consistent with all policy development. There will also be attention given to specific high liability areas such as vehicle operations, use of force, conducting searches and training policy. The importance of the administering of policy will also be discussed. For policy to be successful a number of issues must be carefully considered, such as who should be involved, resources needed/available, funding, the desire/ability to enforce and a host of others. These issues will be discussed in detail along with options available to the individual tasked with developing policy.
