Kristen Oleyte, the Department of the Interior's senior advisor to the U.S. Pacific Command, and Rob MacLean, acting chief of the U.S. Park Police, completed the Executive Leaders Program at the Naval Postgraduate School's Center for Homeland Defense and Security on August 14.

The program's goal is to enhance senior leaders' capacity to develop policies and strategies while strengthening working relationships across the jurisdictional boundaries of regions, agencies, local-state-tribal-federal governments and the private sector. Students study the interdisciplinary concepts that comprise homeland security.

Participants met for four one-week intensive sessions over a nine-month period at the Center for Homeland Defense and Security in Monterey, Calif. The 31 participants represented a snapshot of homeland security across the country and include professionals from the Department of Homeland Security and agencies within it, as well as emergency management, the military, law enforcement, fire safety, state and municipal governments, public health, and the private sector.

The Executive Leaders Program is part of a series of graduate and executive-level education programs sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security, National Preparedness Directorate, FEMA, and developed and conducted by the National Park Service Center for Homeland Defense and Security.
