I took this class in preparation for future leadership roles within my agency. The roll call section of the class was particularly important because this is an area I would like to change within my agency. Learning how to do this properly was a significant positive regarding this course.

This was a great course helped me better understand reasoning and decisions made by my own command staff. I have been a corporal for 6 months in a small agency and have not had much guidance on how to perform my new responsibilities. This class has been great to reinforce what I am already doing right and what areas I need to work on to become a better supervisor.

Class was extremely helpful for me being a young supervisor in how to emphasize that even though objective standards must be met in the workplace, showing a little compassion goes a long way as well.

This course was extremely helpful for learning how to properly manage a team as the only training I had prior to promotion was the work aspect not the team aspect.

Valuable information for anyone wanting to become or just became a supervisor. May want more hands on for some topics like I.C. as it's pretty dull
