Basic Police Leadership
This is a course for those who wish to learn the basics of how to become a successful police supervisor and leader at the ranks of police sergeant or lieutenant. It is the first of two units. Basic police academy prepares you to become a police officer. That's not the same as becoming a police supervisor. While many progressive police departments do train newly promoted sergeants, only seven states require a minimum level of training for police supervisors. In light of the pressures put upon supervisors and the scrutiny they endure after a critical or high profile incident, it is imperative that newly promoted supervisors get all the help they can. This course can help.
