It has never been a more difficult time to be a law enforcement officer, which means it is as equally tough to be a law enforcement supervisor or agency leader. We need to be better than our critics. We need to lead from the front, boldly, legally, ethically, humanely, and assertively. If you're a new supervisor, will promote soon, or are a veteran leader in your agency, this session will give you confidence, skill-building, new tools for coaching to get positive employee performance and behavior changes, and proof that you are on the right path as a professional police leader.

This session is designed to help law enforcement officers at every level to lead, promote, and rise to where they want to be in their agencies. The lectures, lessons, and exercises are short, direct, and filled with tools designed for immediate use in the field and in the station. We have never seen such difficulties and challenges to public safety. The professionals (heroes) of law enforcement are especially impacted by this continuing tsunami of change at every level. Leadership in our profession, in all its forms and applications, has never been so important and so needed. This learning program will offer you many ideas for better "managership," supervision, and leadership models to make positives change for the better for your sworn officers and deputies, non-sworn staff, and the citizens they serve.
