This course is designed for supervisors who have been in that position for a minimum of five (5) years* and realize that leadership and supervision are two totally different concepts. While leaders may be in supervisory positions, leadership doesn’t necessarily need a title.  In fact, on a day-to-day basis, the most important leadership in a department rarely comes from the top and we all know that. However, when you can combine both, the agency, everyone in it and the community benefits.  Because of what is going on it our Nation, good cops, role model cops are retiring in droves. They need to be replaced.  Today, more than ever before in our history, these two concepts are needed by all law enforcement officers and this 3-day course is taught with those two roles in mind.

*This time frame is only recommended, not a fixed number, but this training is geared for experienced supervisors.
