The capstone project requires candidates to focus on identifying a real-world public safety problem or ineffective/inefficient process and developing a plan to change or improve it. The outcome of this capstone module is to have the capstone projects introduced to public safety leaders for their consideration and implementation as a means to improve public safety for the citizens of New Jersey and our neighbors.
The first three modules of the NJSACOP Certificate in Executive Development in Policing program focus on three levels of analysis: self, group/team, and organization. The Capstone Project harnesses the core concepts of these first three modules to engage candidates in a capstone project focused on improving the overall public safety domain. This capstone project requires candidates to focus on identifying a real-world public safety problem or ineffective/inefficient process and developing a plan to change or improve it. This capstone course provides engagement in a practitioner-centered learning experience that serves as a summative exemplar of each professional’s executive development.
Candidates will have latitude over their group capstone project under the direction of the module facilitator, who will guide candidates towards their goal. The final deliverable for this module will consist of a multi-page compendium, inclusive of appendices. Based upon the group capstone project, each final deliverable will look different, but contain various components that will be common to the module’s goals. Candidates who successfully complete the capstone module will demonstrate their ability to:
