The Importance of Training New Sergeants
Promoting from within your own ranks seems like a great idea. Your department gets
a sergeant who knows the job, and the officers get a chance to promote up
the chain of command. However, once you have you promoted them what do you
do with them? Too often newly promoted sergeants are left to sink or swim as they
try to figure out how to be "The Boss" rather than now to be "A Leader."
This class explores the concept of supervisor training in Law Enforcement as a way
to increase retention, decrease liability, and prepare employees for their new
responsibilities while easing the transition from "The Officer" to "The Sergeant."
