Course Description:
Effective public safety organizations rely on the application of proper field supervision. Our first-line supervisors and their oversight of our personnel ensure effective service to our communities, protect our organizations from litigation, and shield our officers from internal/external concerns. Most organizations send their supervisors to a one week class and never retrain them in up-to-date supervisory practices. We know organizations will not send them to another one week class for a similar topic. That is where this course comes into play.
This full, one-day “tune-up” discusses the importance of this supervisory role as it relates to key areas of first-line supervision. This is an essential training program for Corporals and Sergeants of all experience levels. The goal of this program is to refocus those who have been serving in the rank for some time and may have become a slave to the administrative tasks and complacent to the monitoring and proactive supervision of our people.
Topics Discussed:
- Motivation & Morale
- Communication for the individual & the team
- Understanding Generational Differences
- Positive Organizational Communication
- Understanding "Toxic" environments & Micromanagement
- Designing a proactive supervision plan, time management, delegation, & personnel development
- Understanding Coaching v. Counseling (handling performance and policy violations)
- Open Discussion Forum: Tips for Specific Supervisory Issues
