Command Series Level 1: Developing First Line Supervisors

Great team of Instructors.

I’ve been a sergeant coming up on 3 years, and I had to take a supervisory course per department policy. With my prior experience, there was very little new information to me. However, the value of the course for me was that it made me do a self assessment of how I’m doing the job. I’ve strayed from what I believe I should be doing with the amount of administrative tasks I have to do. This brought that to my attention, and I’m going to refocus on the basics of the job.

Was very impressed and feel much better about going into the Sergeant role after this class. Was very impressed and grateful for the instructors.

Great course for new supervisors. My only
Regret is not taking it prior to being promoted. Because of this class I have a much better understanding of the liability supervisors take on.

As a newly promoted supervisor, this class assisted in putting in place principals and concepts to continue to utilize and grow with.

Very valuable class. Great to see the steps my pd has taken are in alignment with the best practices. The group discussions between the class and the instructors was the most beneficial. Wish I would have had this class prior to promotion.

Good quality class that I wish I could have attended when I was promoted to Sgt. 8 years ago.

The course was a comprehensive overview of law enforcement supervisory fundamentals. The instructors addressed many of the skills, traits, and behaviors becoming of a supervisor, and they did so with both theory and personal anecdotes. The class was professional, fun, and organized.

The class was easy to follow and the content was very educational. I would recommend this class for anyone, not only those wanting to be supervisors.

The course was eye opening for me not being in a supervisor role currently. Very informative. Both Steve and Phil were articulate and knowledgeable.

Great course with a good variety of topics covered.

Excellent instruction, eye opener to some situations

The experience and knowledge from the instructors was wonderful. They were very engaging and we were able to discuss in detail a lot of issues that we all see daily. This was one of the better supervisor courses I have been to due to the interactions and case studies.

A great preparatory class that I recommend all agencies expose their potential supervisors to!

This was an excellent course on first line supervision. I will bring the principles from this class to use every day while at work. I will recommend this course to my department for all newly promoted sergeants and field training officers.

The best instruction I have ever received on the topic of supervision and leadership. Chief Henry and Captain Rizzo have a complete and total grasp of knowledge on the ever changing environment of law enforcement officers.

Excellent content and real world application.

Highly recommended!
