TOPIC:  
You've just been promoted to a new leadership position. You're not sure of the challenges ahead or how you will meet them. Your first 90 days are key to your success. Understanding the Law Enforcement Culture and Managing Officer performance is
an important part of Policing in the 21 st Century. 

Effective Coaching is an important addition to a law enforcement supervisor's arsenal of skills. The ability to listen and help others achieve their personal and organizational objectives is a critical competency in today's law enforcement profession. Coaching skills can be applied across the organization at all levels, whenever goals are established and people need assistance in achieving them. I

In the corporate business world, coaching has become the key to managing people. "Our people are our most important asset" is not a trite slogan; it is a fundamental truth. People make your organization, and people who are world-class learners make your organization great. 

Leadership starts at the top but it doesn't stop there. Everyone in the agency/department can develop the skills needed to lead. This class provides reality-based principles and strategies for first-line supervisors - including corporals, sergeants, lieutenants, and seasoned supervisors who want to make a difference by encouraging and inspiring line officers to achieve personal and organizational goals. 

If you are looking for a supervisory class that focuses on the need-to-know "how to" rather than the nice-to-know theories, this is the class you've been waiting for!
