Register or Request More Info PSLD: Purposeful Leadership Development Get to Know PSLD's History PSLD was developed in 2008 by Kerry Plemmons, University of Denver faculty and entrepreneur, and George Heinrichs, co-founder of Intrado, and former sheriff’s deputy for the Arapahoe Police Department.
They created the program in response to internal communication challenges realized by public safety officials in the wake of mass shootings at Columbine High School and an Aurora movie theater.
Through PSLD, Heinrichs and Plemmons wanted to bring together a diverse cross-section of first responders- people who may have not been formally trained in interpersonal relationships, and provide training, resources, and education to enhance their self-awareness, leadership, and communication skills.
PSLD Continues to Shape the Public Safety Sector Through interactive activities and research backed-curriculum, PSLD equips public safety officials with leadership and communication skills to build stronger relationships in the office, in the field and in their personal lives. The experience they bring back to their communities makes for healthier and more effective teams, divisions, and agencies.
PSLD gives first responders the necessary tools, experiences, and environment to become more confident, transparent, and empathetic public servants, leaders, and team members. Through a carefully curated curriculum, first responders and public safety personnel embark on a transformative journey. The program begins with a two-night, three-day retreat at The Nature Place near Florissant, CO.
Participants engage in hands-on activities, reflective exercises, and interactive discussions aimed at cultivating personal growth, building high performing teams, and planning for successful leadership transitions.
Using the Insights Discovery personality assessment, they learn to harness the unique strengths of their teams, navigate complex organizational dynamics, and lead with authenticity and resilience in an ever-evolving landscape. Lodging and meals at The Nature Place are included in the program fee.
A month later, participants attend a two-day session at the University of Denver, where they reflect on their personal growth and share how they have applied their learning. They delve into topics like, navigating change effectively, designing a positive work culture, leading with influence, and promoting mental wellness within their organizations.
Supervisors and family members are encouraged to attend the program graduation at the end of the final day of learning. PSLD is not just about acquiring knowledge; it’s about empowering leaders to drive meaningful change, inspire and connect with others, and shape the future of public safety leadership.

Read articleOn June 2, 2026, the Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation selected two demonstration-scale facilities — Phoenix Tailings (with MIT and the University of Minnesota) for $66 million, and the Colorado School of Mines (with ElementUSA, PNNL, Principal Mineral, and Rare Earth Technologies Inc.) for the balance — under the Rare Earth Elements Demonstration Facility Program.
