Public Safety Management Capstone

Catalog description

This course focuses on the integration of knowledge, skills and abilities learned in the program through a capstone project. This course should be taken during the last semester of the program. The course will involve the student proposing a plan for public safety managers to handle a catastrophic event occurring in a community. The student will define the scope of the event and utilize concepts of disaster response as examined in prior program coursework from a public safety management perspective. The project will culminate with an oral presentation of the plan to an advisory board made up of public safety practitioners and faculty members.
