This book offers valuable, experience-based, practical advice for the most important people in American law enforcement: first-line supervisors of patrol officers. Its sixteen chapters guide both new and experienced patrol supervisors in key areas. It begins by explaining how to foster teamwork between officers and their supervisors and covers what you must do (and avoid doing) to become an excellent patrol supervisor. The author, a 54-year veteran of law enforcement, spent 15 years as a sergeant at a nationally renowned agency and served over 20 years as a police chief at three municipal agencies. Other topics include building mutual respect and trust with your team, being an exceptional positive role model, succeeding or failing as an effective communicator, training patrol officers, and serving as an effective counselor for troubled officers, including proper discipline. Additional topics include preparing and delivering employee performance reviews, handling citizen complaints, the importance of ethics, protecting officers from street dangers, leading during critical incidents, and assisting personnel in providing excellent service. The final two chapters advise on helping officers develop career strategies within their organization and plan for their future. "Organizational survival" is rarely covered in police supervision classes, but it is examined thoroughly here. Supervising Patrol Officers delivers practical leadership advice that benefits both new and experienced patrol supervisors. Along with your current skills and knowledge, it will help you become an even more effective leader of the country's front-line guardians.
