 **Redefining Leadership Development
          for Law Enforcement:
          The Museum of Tolerance Approach** July 2019 | Volume 12 | Issue 6
  The COPS Office and the Simon Wiesenthal Center Museum of Tolerance (MOT) are partnering  to create an immersive law enforcement leadership program. This training uses  the unique experiential setting of the MOT by integrating the museum experience  with classroom dialogue and workshops. The goal of the program is to understand  how events from the past bridge to present-day and future policing, focusing on  individual as well as organizational leadership and contemporary community  policing. Woven throughout the training program are adult learning principles,  participatory exercises, personal testimonies, speaker engagement forums,  self-reflection, and the opportunity to build concrete action plans for both  personal and organizational goals in policing. The curriculum design was created with a two-pronged  approach for two distinct leadership development courses: one for law  enforcement executives and command staff and the other for first-line supervisors  and sergeants. The executives attend the training first, setting the organizational  tone. Executives can then provide support for first-line supervisors and  officers in constructing individual and organizational changes to improve the  efficacy of policing and advance community policing in their agencies. Buy-in  is crucial at the executive level, as both courses culminate in a multi-tiered,  structured action planning session in which participants will create a concrete  plan to implement new ideas and mind shifts into their agencies’ practices,  policies, and culture. Participants will exit the course not only with new  ideas and frameworks but also with the tools and structure to execute them. Both  courses are three days in length and take place in Los Angeles, California, at  the MOT. Many of the MOT’s exhibits are used throughout this  training program, including the following: The Holocaust Exhibit
        Confronting Hate in America
        POV Diner
        Civil Rights
        We The People history Wall
        Finding Our Families, Finding Ourselves In addition, various exhibits include a multitude of video  and multimedia assets that are used throughout the participants’ journey. Their  museum experience is supplemented by present-day law enforcement videos and  multimedia assets in the classroom. For more information on the training and to inquire about  becoming a participant, contact Rachel Salamanca, Director, Tools for  Tolerance® for Law Enforcement by phone at 310-772-7615 or email at rsalamanca@museumoftolerance.com. About the Museum of Tolerance The Museum of Tolerance (MOT) is the educational arm of  the Simon Wiesenthal Center, an international human rights organization.
