Congratulations to the San Francisco Police Department’s Leadership Development Institute’s inaugural cohort 1 for completing this 12 month program!
While the pandemic delayed a few sessions and adapted to a virtual setting, it didn’t stop them! They learned from subject matter experts, such as Blue Courage master educators, Chip Huth, Stephen Shedleztki, Simon Sinek, davidji, David Covey, Don Yeager, to name a few!
Join us again as we recap the previous session and bring it all together. We need your expertise, insight, learning, and feedback to help to understand where we currently are, and where we want to go as we journey forward on this exploration. We want to engage with you and provide an opportunity for dialogue with our panelists, leading to growth and learning for all involved, as we close this chapter of our webinar series and before we begin the next chapter.
If you have any questions, observations, feedback, or suggestions for future sessions, please email them to info@growblueculture.com prior to the session. We also welcome comments and questions during the session.

About this webinar series:
These are tumultuous times. Immediately following the unprecedented pandemic that left the world in uncertainty, an outbreak of civil unrest sparked by a police action spread across the globe. Resounding calls for reform, justice and equality are nationwide. A shift in the culture that exists in society, as well as the institutional culture within policing, must take a values-based approach to move beyond the current state to one that is more aspirational. Culture is never static — it is dynamic and constantly improving or in decline. It will take awareness, enlightenment and wise, courageous leadership to leverage change. Join us for this free series of live webinars as we explore and discuss culture as it applies to current events, and how we can shift culture to improve the world around us.

In the next two sessions of our Exploring Blue Culture webinar series, we will explore how we can strengthen trust between police and the community.

Join us on Friday, June 26th at 2 pm CT as Chief Moir discusses leadership, culture, and the importance of education that goes beyond training our officers. We will explore skills vs. knowledge as the Chief offers the practitioner’s perspective in the conversation with the researchers and academics, which she believes is the collaboration that we should exploit given our current environment. We will define the difference between organizational culture and climate — and the need for everyone to treat the current climate of policing with grace and humility to influence and amplify a healthy culture.

“Most problems in life are not solved merely by correction…solutions will have to be deeper than strategies of discipline or correction.” Anatomy of Peace
In the world today, it is easy to understand how we can get caught up in just dealing with things that have gone wrong. However, real leadership and strong relationships are built on helping things go right, so that dealing with things that have gone wrong are not the norm. The Arbinger Institute’s Influence/ Leadership Pyramid offers the mindset and skillset to think and respond differently, in a more effective way.
Join Blue Courage Master Instructors Daniel Schmer, David Dubois, Howard Powers as they discuss Helping Things Go Right.
No one foresaw the challenges we are currently facing, regardless of preparation through our regular practices. This session will provide insight and perspective from 3 law enforcement professionals on how resilience is trained, implemented, and practiced, particularly in the COVID era. They will provide context on how we prepare, adapt, and recover from the challenges faced in extraordinary times. Blue Courage trainers David Dubois (Strafford County Sheriff’s Office), Ian Edwards (Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission), Jen Hart (San Diego County Probation Department), and Jack Hart (San Francisco Police Department) discuss Resilience in Practice: An Inside Look from Those on the Front Line.
