"I gained so much from the LEPSL program. The work I did during my LEPSL assignments has directly influenced my daily work at SPD more times than I can count. LEPSL has helped me focus my thoughts and ideas into usable formats. Several programs I have in the works at SPD right now are directly influenced by my time with LEPSL."

Tracy Volz Montez Verified customer
Dispatch Supervisor, Upland Police Department
"What sold me on the LEPSL program is how specific this program is to our line of work. Anyone who has worked in or overseen the Communications Division within their respective agency can understand that leadership can be lacking, and this program was exactly what I was looking for to develop and enhance my leadership skills."

"I couldn't be happier with my decision to enroll in the USD LEPSL Program. After looking into other master's programs, LEPSL stood out based on its curriculum and the vast experience of the faculty.

"The LEPSL program has been amazing with regard to the relevance to my daily job. I've noticed that I've been able to engage in conversations that I wouldn't have otherwise been able to engage in because the information we learned during classes was actually coming up in real life. I would absolutely recommend this program."

We were talking about budgets, conflict resolution, policies and writing memos...everything that a chief would need to know. There's probably about 2 ,000 years worth of experience with everyone involved in the program and that's..." Read more
