The Leadership Navigational Aid focuses on the principle that excellence in policing is not defined by isolated moments, but by habits built over time. Drawing from the maxim, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit,” the LNA emphasizes that courts determine whether force was lawful, but leadership determines what outcomes become predictable. Legal standards set a constitutional floor. Professional responsibility demands more. The LNA challenges leaders at every level to examine the habits their training, supervision, and culture reinforce, especially in an era where every decision is captured on video and evaluated beyond the courtroom.
