Leadership in Police Organizations (LPO) is the flagship IACP leadership development training program. LPO is modeled after the training concept of dispersed leadership (“every officer a leader”) and delivers modern behavioral science concepts and theories uniquely tailored to the law enforcement environment.

- Learn frameworks to translate knowledge and experience into effective leader actions
- Integrate course content into daily leadership practices
