Jan Mirikitani leads the class in group discussions on course learning objectives on Supervisors being committed to their department’s mission towards developing their subordinates towards Officer safety, public safety, & adherence to SOPs.  You will discuss multiple forms of leadership & when each is relevant to teambuilding & morale.  First-line supervisors come from the ranks but must now support department & community goals bigger than friendships with fellow Officers.

This course will provide the following learning objectives:
  1. Law Enforcement Legitimacy & the role Sergeants play
  2. Their personal communication style:  assertive, agressive, or passive
  3. Supervision, Management, & Leadership:  the value of each
  4. The importance of Sergeant consistency
  5. Sergeants should lead ethical policing practices, building morale, & customer service
  6. How to take public complaints professionally
  7. Delegating work to fairly develop subordinates towards succession
  8. Report proofing & editing subordinate narratives
  9. Leadership thinking cores for decision-making, de-briefing, & coaching
  10. Leadership’s duty in disallowing sexual & workplace harassment & discrimination
  11. Managing difficult employees & their negative impact if left unchecked
  12. Knowing your department policy on the Sergeant’s role in progressive discipline
  13. Group practice with problem-solving scenarios

    We feel confident this course will provide valuable information for existing, new, or potential Supervisors.
