Master of Science in Law Enforcement and Public Safety Leadership Students and Agencies

I highly recommend this program to anyone who is looking to advance their career, improve their knowledge base, and become a change-maker within the policing profession. I considered MPA programs and Master's in Criminal Justice degrees, but neither were the right fit for me. This program ties together everything I do at the practical level while enhancing my efforts through proven theories based on research and empirical evidence. The knowledge that I am gaining from this degree program will make me a better leader for my agency and the community I serve.

Dennis Nayor Chief, Ithaca Police Department
