Understanding and Managing Your Budget
March 9, 2010
Like other managers, law enforcement professionals must prepare and justify their organization’s budget and closely monitor its execution—daunting challenges in the current fiscal environment. But budgets are more than just numbers; allocations should reflect law enforcement’s plans, priorities, and program expectations. This class will help law enforcement managers make budgeting and budgets relevant in their day-to-day responsibilities. It combines lecture, discussion, and case exercises specific to law enforcement.
Instructor: Mike Daun is deputy comptroller for the City of Milwaukee.
Measuring and Reporting Outcomes in Law Enforcement
April 15, 2010
How do you identify outcomes? How do you get agreement from citizens, elected officials and others as to the definition of success (achievement of outcomes)? What does a comprehensive set of outcome measures look like? What are the most effective means of presenting outcome measurement data? We will answer these questions and many more as we build a step-by-step outcome measurement system.
