The Department of Public Safety (DPS) understands the need for maintaining the highest standards of conduct and performance. Leadership development is paramount to this endeavor. The challenges we face in a rapidly evolving and asymmetric threat environment and the increasing population in our State, demands our leaders be proficient in the art and science of law enforcement and the employment of leadership best practices in a joint, interagency environment. Therefore, every member of the DPS team is a leader at their own unique point in the journey, and we are committed to amplifying their leadership influence in every context.
