Accepting a new leadership position can be the most demanding and yet receive the least training. It is the instructor's hope to share some innovative ideas to help in day-to-day operations from the supervisor's role in a vehicle pursuit, to making critical decisions at the crime scene. In the spirit of Community policing, it is important that we decipher the mission and vision of the organization and the real impact it has on the future leadership. Topics covered will include Mission and Vision Statements, Innovative Ideas about Leadership, Confronting the Problem Employee, First Line Risk Management, Developing your people, Accountable Leadership, Media Relations, Real Time Leadership and Critical Thinking Checklist.
