The IMDP, which is sponsored by the Australian Federal Police (AFP), is similar to the Police Development Management Program (PMDP) but with an Intelligence focus. This provides the opportunity for those working with Intelligence to share their experiences and learn from one another in this constantly challenging environment. The 18 IMDP participants came from a cross section of local and international intelligence, policing and government sector organizations. The diversity of the group was far reaching with participants representing not only Australian Policing jurisdictions and AFP but also the Scottish Police Services Authority, Vietnam Ministry of Public Security, New Zealand Police, Australian Taxation Office, Australian Crime Commission and the Department of Immigration and Citizenship. The participants soon formed strong bonds and a strong sense of camaraderie. http://www.aipm.gov.au/news/news.html#IMDP2010 Mon, 01 November 2010 10:07:46 +1000 The second AFAC Executive Development Program for 2010 was hosted at the AIPM temporary home at the Old School of Artillery, North Head, Manly during the three week period 16 August - 3 September 2010.

The participants of the 113th PMDP represented Police and Corrective Services, from throughout Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Uganda, Sri Lanka, Serbia and Vietnam.

The PELP is one of the most eminent senior police leadership courses offered in Australia and, once completed, results in the awarding of a Graduate Diploma of Executive Leadership (Policing and Emergency Services).

Commissioner Negus is the sixth person to hold the position, taking over from Mick Keelty who retired last week. He says terrorism will remain one of the main focuses for the AFP.

This residential component of the Graduate Certificate in Applied Management (Policing and Emergency Services) was attended by 26 participants from Australian police jurisdictions of Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales, Northern Territory and the Australian Federal Police (AFP). Senior police from Hong Kong, New Zealand, Solomon Islands and South Africa, together with two participants from the NSW Department of Corrective Services complemented the discussions and debate with the Australian police. The first week is always extremely challenging with the participants slightly anxious and ‘getting to know’ each other. Being away from home and family, together with possibly the first time to undertake tertiary studies can be a little unsettling for the participants. The role of the syndicate leaders, course mentor and AIPM staff is to provide support and encouragement and on the first Friday the team building activity at the Sydney Sports Academy, Narrabeen enables some ‘clear thinking’ time. http://www.aipm.gov.au/news/news.html#112PMDP 3A40ADD2-42C0-4DCC-BA7A-2B7357838F6A Thu, 10 Sep 2009 09:25:33 +1000 Federal Environment Minister Peter Garrett has approved with strict conditions the Australian Institute of Police Management development at North Head, Manly. Mr Garrett said the approval decision followed a thorough assessment of the project's impacts on the environment, with particular focus on the little penguin, long-nosed bandicoot, the site's heritage values and the Sydney Harbour National Park. "I'm satisfied that with the redesign of the project, the mitigation measures in place and the additional conditions I've placed on this, the project can proceed under national environment law without significant impact on the environment and the site's heritage values," Mr Garrett said. The federal assessment looked closely at the project's potential impacts on the nearby little penguin colony, as well as the long-nosed bandicoot, both state-protected species. As a result of this assessment, and building upon those matters considered by the State assessment process, seven additional approval conditions have been placed on the project. These new conditions significantly strengthen the environmental protections for the little penguin and long-nosed bandicoot populations, and for the site's heritage values. http://www.aipm.gov.au/news/news.html#FedApproval 58579B33-7463-4FC3-AB63-17F19F3A3CD0 Thu, 10 Sep 2009 09:25:32 +1000 The Australian Institute of Police Management recently welcomed the return of Mr Tom Rogers to the organisation, as its new Executive Director.
