The presentations delivered by Superintendent Fisher will firstly examine counter terrorism in the United Kingdom.  This presentation will conduct an in depth analysis of  case studies of those who have converted to Islam and become extremist and extremists who have always been followers of Islam and have caused atrocities in the UK.  The current UK counter terrorist strategy will then be explored. 

The second presentation will examine leadership in the police service.  It will look at various leadership styles, their impact and when they are appropriate.  The presentation will also examine the link between a leader and a follower and how this can be used to improve relationships and performance.

The final presentation will take a satirical look at policing through the eyes of the media.
