Public safety leadership is about so much more than how to supervise people or command a scene. Kerry Plemmons is the co-founder of the University of Denver's Public Safety Leadership Program where he is focused on developing holistic public safety leaders.

This unique program takes law enforcement, fire, and EMS students into the mountains of Colorado for an immersive 3-day experience that will help these emerging leaders understand team dynamics and grow both professionally and personally . In this episode, Kerry will tell you how you can replicate their program for your own state or region.

Prior to Starbucks, he partnered in creating the Pour la France! Restaurant chain in three states and Mexico.
Plemmons is a published author with his book, _Juxtapositions: Comparing Mild to Wild Success – Irreverently. Juxtapositions _looks at whole organizational success, where a kind and gentle revolution might create a strong cultural focus, when imagination leads to strategies that are implemented because they align with the organizational mission, and the individuals are rewarded and recognized so the imaginative strategy process gets repeated.
Most of his consulting consists of working with groups of 10 to 400 after finding gaps in the client organizations. Plemmons and a group of Daniels colleagues create a solution, then build workshops and offsite sessions to close the gaps. In an average year, Plemmons works with 300 or more graduate students, and speaks to several thousand clients.
