Senior Leadership Council Brochure
The Hillard Heintze Senior Leadership Council is an independent panel of retired major city police chiefs and senior federal, state and local law enforcement leaders.
At the very core of community-oriented policing is the concept of trust. It’s easy to talk about. It’s much harder to earn it – and sustain it.
Why? Because building public trust is only half the challenge. The other half is earning trust from the other core constituency – the rank-and-file officers who need to understand and “buy in” to the vision in order to make it work.
Winning over both sides is crucial.
