In this challenging economy many businesses do not see the benefit of investing in training their employees. “The Forty-Niners Shops leadership program marks a departure from the common mistake businesses make when they neglect to train their employees. You would be surprised at the small percentage of supervisors and managers that get formal leadership training. I am very pleased to see some businesses, like the Forty-Niners Shops, are catching on to the positive effects of leadership training,” says Dr. Paul Edward.

Don Penrod, the General Manager and CEO of the Forty-Niners Shops, is excited about the new program, “We wanted to ensure that our supervisors get the proper leadership training to educate them for a better future and make our employees work experience more pleasant and effective. I am really excited and confident that our shops will greatly benefit from this new training.”

Mr. Penrod, a former Disney executive, shows that he is committed to his employees’ future development by investing in this new training program. The leadership training program at the Forty-Niners Shops is a new holistic approach to business that the rest of the business world could highly benefit from mimicking.

Dr. Paul Edward, founder of Edward Professional Advisors, says, “The Sheriff’s Department has done a great job during the past ten years in Compton, but research clearly shows that cities with strong community-based police departments are better places to live and work. The police-community relationship is crucial for quality law enforcement and we are excited to be working on this historic project.”

The opponents of Compton’s transition to local control of their police services say Compton will not be able to afford the costs that the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department currently spends on the police services they provide for Compton.

Compton’s City Manager, Willie Norfleet, says, “Not only will we gain local control of our police services, but our efforts will cost the citizens of Compton less while providing top quality police services.”

“As one of the few African American owned consulting firms, it is an honor to be helping Compton improve its police services. Compton is a place of great importance to the African American community and it feels wonderful to be collaborating with the citizens of Compton to improve their safety and quality of life,” says Dr. Edward.

Compton’s successful transition to locally controlled police services will not only be significant for this African American community but will serve at the blueprint for other communities around the world.
