    Road Sergeant “Tune-Up”

    Original price was: $249.00.Current price is: $189.00.
    Course Description: IADLTESTEffective 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)

    The use of force in law enforcement is a dynamic and necessary element of the profession. It is essential that an organizational program is designed to ensure officers recognize immediate dangers, immediately determine mitigation opportunities, and employ force correctly when necessary. It is critical that supervisory oversight occurs in the field and immediately after force is utilized. Then, it is vital for mid-level leadership to conduct meaningful reviews discussing observations both downward to the officers involved and upward to others. That information cannot sit stagnant.  It must be incorporated into future training, policy updates, and command staff reviews. To protect our people, safeguard our agency’s image, and best serve the communities we protect, all levels of the organization must be actively involved. This program focuses on these endeavors.
