Overview
Phase 1 of the NTOA Academy is entitled “Tactical Leadership” and is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to leadership, ethics, character, supervision, communication and self-development to tactical commanders. It was developed with the understanding that tactical commanders must be able to lead their teams in a climate that requires exposure to established leadership models, as well as, established tactical procedures. Tactical Leadership exposes students to leadership concepts and theories that have been successfully employed by visionaries in law enforcement, government, industry, military and corporations. It includes segments from celebrated innovators in the field of leadership, team-building and ethical thought. “Tactical Leadership” includes two self-assessments, five reading assignments and two blended courses specifically designed for the tactical commander: Tactical Team Leadership and Training & Risk Mitigation, followed by the completion of a Capstone Research Project.
