This SPAC-I includes the following elements:

This course is for individuals working in law enforcement in support of Indigenous communities who have had some supervisory experience and who are ready to accept the leadership challenges of more senior or complex managerial roles. Students learn how to improve and adapt their personal management and leadership skills to meet changing social conditions, specifically as they relate to Indigenous communities.
