Public Safety & Policing
Leadership for a Networked World’s Public Safety Initiative provides transformational thought leadership and learning experiences for policymakers and executives designing the future of public trust, legitimacy, and value in policing.

Creating change in any organization can be a daunting task, but if you give your people the right tools and the right support to do their jobs more effectively and efficiently, they will embrace it.

Chief of Police, DC Metropolitan Police Department
 

Over half of Public Safety leaders feel their organization is not prepared, or only somewhat prepared to sustain long-term transformation initiatives.

Attendees said politics, technology, and transparency were the top 3 drivers of change.

In the past five years, all Public Safety leaders reported experiencing moderate to extreme change.

These results were taken from surveys given to participants prior to their attendance at an LNW event.
