Command Series Level 1: Developing First Line Supervisors

The experience and knowledge from the instructors was wonderful. They were very engaging and we were able to discuss in detail a lot of issues that we all see daily. This was one of the better supervisor courses I have been to due to the interactions and case studies.

A great preparatory class that I recommend all agencies expose their potential supervisors to!

This was an excellent course on first line supervision. I will bring the principles from this class to use every day while at work. I will recommend this course to my department for all newly promoted sergeants and field training officers.

The best instruction I have ever received on the topic of supervision and leadership. Chief Henry and Captain Rizzo have a complete and total grasp of knowledge on the ever changing environment of law enforcement officers.

Excellent content and real world application.

Highly recommended!

I have found the insight and knowledge provided in this training extremely valuable. I constantly strive to become better for my agency and the content covered will greatly help me in guiding/developing my officers. I strongly feel all supervisors should be sent to this training as the strategies and candid discussions are invaluable. Thank you!

The course is truly designed to address the fundamentals of first line police supervision. Actual direction was provided on how to be effective, well rounded supervisors. All material was backed by real world examples provided by the instructors and class participants. The instructors were enthusiastic about the material and open to questions and discussion.

I have been through a lot of training but this was very good. I even went back to the pd last night and explained to other supervisors that this is some of the best, meaningful, useful training I’ve received. I definitely recommend this class for supervisors. It is much better than the personality supervisor training we received previously. This class gives me a better understanding on how to deal with and manage my squad.

The course was excellent. It was nice to be taught by people who have accomplished things throughout their career. Learning from their hand on experience, things that worked and didn’t work for them.

Very good class. Each instructor was well prepared. There were specific examples given to support the class material. There weren’t any war stories with no relevance to the material. Being a new supervisor I learned a lot and validated a lot of what I’ve been doing. I generated a list of things that I now know I need to go back and look at in my policies and procedures. At no point during classes was I waiting for the class to end or felt like things dragged on.

This course was exceptional. I felt engaged the entire time. I feel confident in being able to use some of the things that were taught here due to how relatable all the instructors were.
