| Dept.: | Police
| | Subject: | Approval of overnight training for Police Department management and supervisory personnel to attend a leadership training and team building workshop. (Estimated Cost: $28,000) (Action Item) | Date: | 1/11/2022 |
|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
To obtain City Council approval for Police Department supervisory and management personnel to attend a leadership training and team building workshop in Temecula, California, in May 2022. |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
The Police Department goals include developing strong successful leaders committed to the organization who support our mission to improve the quality of life in the city and provide a sense of safety and security to the community. Creating a strong foundation within the current leadership team is essential for developing future leaders, and a leadership/team building workshop where all department managers and supervisors are in the same room is an excellent way to bring the team together. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
The Department has chosen Pete Bowen, the founder of Covenant Leadership, as the instructor/facilitator of the team building workshop. Mr. Bowen has been involved in leadership coaching in both the private and public sectors for over 20 years and he is an expert in high-performance leadership, organizational culture, and ethics. Mr. Bowen’s curriculum includes: inspiring the best from those around us; understanding how to develop high-performance leadership and cultures of excellence, and; learning how to recruit the best people and align them to the law enforcement culture that maximizes good decision-making and strong relationships with the community.
Both sworn and civilian Police Department managers and supervisors will attend this workshop, which will be held at the Temecula Creek Inn on May 2-3, 2022. Having department leadership at all levels participate in the workshop will ensure a consistent message is brought back and implemented within each of the Department’s bureaus. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT
The estimated cost of the training is $28,000, which includes: lodging, food, meeting rooms, hotel fees, and presenter fees. There will be no additional impact to the General Fund as FY 2021-22 funds are budgeted for police department travel and training. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
- Approve the request for Police Department supervisory and management personnel to attend a leadership training and team building workshop in Temecula, CA from May 2-3, 2022; and
- Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement with Temecula Creek Inn on behalf of the City, and make minor modifications as appropriate thereto.
