On Aug 29, 2025, under the theme “Bridging the Gap: Moving the PLSC from Academic Theory to Actionable Leadership”, the Police Leadership and Staff Course (PLSC) convened a workshop seminar aimed at aligning academic rigor with real-world leadership demands. Faculty members emphasized the need for curriculum reform to reduce overlap, strengthen foundational courses and integrate practical, research-oriented learning that prepares officers for modern policing challenges. Key recommendations focused on developing ethical and emotionally intelligent leaders, embedding Knowledge-Skills-Attitude (KSA) frameworks, and equipping participants with expertise in criminal investigation, human rights compliance and strategic decision-making. The program highlighted the importance of shifting policing culture toward service-oriented practices, fostering community trust and reinforcing public accountability. Faculty further called for international compatibility of degrees, integration of crime and security studies—including cybercrime and AI-related threats—and establishing robust research and oversight mechanisms. This initiative marks a decisive step in transforming the PLSC into a globally recognized platform for producing competent, future-ready police leaders.
