About the program
This Leadership and Management (Policing and Security) program from Charles Sturt University offers the opportunity to gain advanced knowledge across three pathways: national and international policing, a work-based project or a research dissertation. A focus on international policing examines the broad body of knowledge of the history and context of international policing, including relevant developments in Australia and overseas.
The dissertation enables you to undertake advanced research in a specialist area of practice, while the work-based project will hone your specialist skills in designing improvements to a process, policy or practice – resulting in a comprehensive report, journal article, training program or policy recommendation.
You’ll develop your executive leadership skills and capability across law enforcement, security and international policing, and build advanced skills in applying research and investigative outcomes to strategic planning and management. This course will position you to make high-level, independent assessments and provide sophisticated, empirically based analysis of current and emergent policing and security challenges.
Designed and delivered in collaboration with industry leaders, this course ensures you’ll be able to initiate, plan, implement and evaluate policing leadership activities and policies across your areas of responsibility. You’ll refine your skills and knowledge towards the revision, analysis, consolidation and synthesis of knowledge and understanding of law enforcement and security, and identify and provide appropriate responses to complex challenges.
Established in 1993, Charles Sturt’s Australian Graduate School of Policing and Security (AGSPS) is the leading provider of postgraduate research and education for professionals in law enforcement, emergency management and security.
Career opportunities
As a highly experienced professional in the policing and security industry, you will use the in-depth skills secured in this course to enhance your senior leadership capabilities.
