(5 credits)

Professional Study Capstone 2: Implementation and Observation guides doctoral students through the implementation and observation phases of their capstone projects in public safety leadership. Building upon the foundation established in previous coursework, students will transition from planning to action as they launch their interventions in real-world settings, engage in structured data collection, conduct mid-project assessments, and make evidence-based refinements. The course provides methodological support and mentoring as students navigate the complexities of implementation, observation protocols, and iterative adjustment based on emerging findings. Through a collaborative learning environment and the structured Charrette feedback model, students will analyze implementation progress, address barriers, and refine their approaches while maintaining scholarly rigor. This applied course emphasizes the integration of theory and practice as students document and analyze intervention processes and preliminary outcomes in public safety contexts.
