AUSTRALIAN GRADUATE SCHOOL OF POLICE MANAGEMENT

Australia needs top-performing police executives with great integrity and character. The Australian Institute of Police Management plays an important role in ensuring that this occurs, through the provision of executive development programs for police.

The AIPM was established 50 years ago and, since then, more than 6000 senior police officers have attended our executive development programs. The Institute is administered by the Australian Federal Police, and reports to a Board of Control that is composed of all the Police Commissioners in Australia and New Zealand.

The AIPM has been integral in developing police managers and executives through our management and leadership programs. The Institute also provides similar programs for the Fire and Emergency Services, and Volunteer organisations involved in Public Safety. Administratively, the AIPM comes under the corporate umbrella of the Australian Federal Police and all AIPM staff are employed under the Federal Police Act.

Institute programs have a reputation for outstanding quality. A major contributing factor to this quality is the involvement of senior executives from the corporate sector as presenters in our programs. Many of these people have very generously given their time to the AIPM for years because they want to make a personal contribution to the preservation of law and order in our community. They bring a wealth of diversity and experience to our classroom activities, and course members value their contributions very highly.
