She holds a master's degree in Human Performance Technology and Instructional Design from the University of Michigan. Lou Ann has had many roles during her law enforcement career to include uniform patrol, bike patrol, undercover narcotics and prostitution operations, and a temporary assignment with a DEA Task Force. Using current events and recent incidents, this course will offer tools to embrace values that include, trust, empowerment and recognition of the individual as the most valuable resource they have.Lou Ann proudly served the law enforcement profession for 22 years before retiring. This course will discuss how to recognize your own strengths and weaknesses, how to combat becoming a victim of the current, negative culture. Now more than ever our officers need leaders that are focused on creating, cultivating and maintaining a positive and motivating environment.

Nearly every aspect of your leadership style affects the overall culture of your organization. Never before has there been a need for leaders to create and maintain a positive, motivated culture. Never before has the profession been more in jeopardy. Never before has there been such a strain on the profession.
