Globally, policing is undergoing a radical transformation driven by the desire for greater public accountability, the importance of community partnership and a growing crisis of confidence in both the integrity of services and more broadly police leadership. Policing in the future will shape decisions around transformation and how police forces use resources to help keep people safe and provide an effective, accessible and value for money service which can be trusted. The principal objective of the OTHM Level 7 Diploma in Police Leadership and Management qualification is to develop the knowledge and skills which are required to operate in a senior leadership and management role within a police force where established authority and personal attributes translate strategic decisions into effective and efficient operational performance.
This is a specialised qualification which reflects current practice within the senior echelons of policing and offers learners the opportunity to study diverse aspects of the policing agenda within the context of public sector reform and to gain an enhanced appreciation and understanding of the skills and competencies required of senior police officers to meet modern day challenges.
Through engagement in study towards this qualification, learners will be required to participate in applied investigation. This will, through acquired knowledge, enable senior police officers to be in a stronger position to directly meet the requirements of evolving operating environments where a variety of challenges are posed to the role and function of policing created by the increasingly complex and globally connected world.
Learners will become competent and reflective practitioners, related to their current role, and in preparation for more challenging roles in the future.
The primary aims of this qualification are, therefore, to;

• Provide an international standard of strategic expertise in police leadership and management.
• Develop the knowledge and skills required to support effective and efficient strategy implementation.
• Encourage an understanding of the importance and impact of strategic police leadership and management where responses to public sector reforms are key considerations.
• Support and encourage new ways of thinking and new approaches to actual and perceived problems within policing.
• Provide a police officer with the knowledge, skills and confidence to proactively engage in the implementation of change.
