MCPA Advanced Leadership Academy – September 2026 Overview
Course: MCPA POST-Approved Leadership Academy
Duration: 1.5 days
Dates: Wednesday, September 9, 2026 (8am) – Thursday, September 10, 2026 (noon)
Session Type: In-person - New Brighton
Audience:
Designed for middle management and first-line supervisors in law enforcement, this academy helps participants transition effectively from street officer to supervisor.
Course Description:
How to be That Sergeant (not “that sergeant”) –
Many of us have been fortunate enough to have had a supervisor who made a real impact on our career – and perhaps on our lives. They gave us just what we needed to be better – to see ourselves as true professionals and leaders. Most of us have had another kind of supervisor – the kind we don’t want to emulate. This class will help you to be a memorable, even transformative leader to the officers on your team.
Topics include:
- Seeing each officer as an individual, and as part of a team.
- Setting and upholding expectations.
- Mentorship and coaching to the next level.
- Addressing problems with courage, candor, compassion, and curiosity.
- Resolving team conflicts.
- Building and maintaining your own character as a leader.
This will be a highly interactive session where you will be pushed to reflect on your own leadership, and to commit to growth.
POST Credits:
POST-approved training – Average of 12.5 general education credit hours
