Executive Issues Seminar

The Executive Issues Seminar Series is designed to emphasize, as the term "seminar" in the title implies, interchange among Texas police administrators. Each program is carefully designed to maintain a focus upon particular endemic issues in policing, i.e., problems prevalent, recurring, and peculiar to the management of law enforcement agencies.

Eight seminars are scheduled between January and September. The curriculum is designed specifically for the larger municipal/county law enforcement agencies in Texas. Participation in the series is generally limited to agency heads and executive staff of municipal/county departments with at least 50 sworn personnel. Substation commanders or their equivalent are eligible from the police departments of Austin, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio; and the county sheriff's offices of Bexar, Dallas, El Paso, Harris, Tarrant, and Travis.

The seminars employ instructional staff from SHSU and from throughout the United States. Each two-day seminar involves structured presentations by individuals drawn from a pool of nationally eminent scholars and practitioners.

The Executive Issues Seminar Series is coordinated and produced under an agreement with the Police Research Center, directed by Dr. Larry Hoover.
