Course Description:

Supervision of Police Personnel (SPP) teaches essential supervisory and managerial skills to first-line supervisors. Designed for officers with little or no formal supervisory training, our authoritative curriculum focuses on such critical topics as:

• Day-to-day work relationships with subordinates, superiors, and the public;
• Managing the common leadership challenges that law enforcement supervisors encounter;
• Understanding human behavior as it relates to law enforcement management.

Students complete this two-week course with the understanding that knowing what action to take — and how to implement that action — can be the difference between success or failure on the street or in the office.
