Ivory Tower should be promoted in every dept the same way other programs are. The perspective and insight it gives for every level of policing is invaluable!

This class has shown me how to become a better supervisor among patrol officers. It has shown me how to open my eyes and view my actions through the eyes of my subordinates. It has taught me to hold myself more accountable for the overall well being of my shift/dept.
