This is the essential supervisor course that every prospective Sergeant should attend. I was previously assigned to a different course which was poorly run and contained largely irrelevant information. This course was taught by current and former police supervisors, contained valuable leadership points, and was tailored to newly promoted supervisors.

J. Harris course was comprehensive and all instructirs had a solid grasp of material and experience being a police supervisor. I highly recommend that all soon to be promoted and current first and mid level supervisors attend this class.
