Advanced Supervisor Academy 1

TO BE ADJUSTED

Program Purpose

This program prepares students by introducing them to the foundations of basic supervision theory and guiding them in applying these principles within the unique structure of their own organizations—for example, assigning cases based on team strengths, coaching officers through performance issues, or organizing shift resources during peak demand periods. Students also study advanced supervision theory, engaging in discussion and debate to evaluate how these concepts can be practically implemented, such as developing new review processes for use of force incidents, leading multi-unit coordination during complex investigations, or redesigning communication protocols to improve accountability and operational efficiency within their agency.
