Course Objective
This two-day course has been designed to meet the practical needs of the uniformed patrol officer who has supervisory responsibilities. This program will challenge the Officers-In-Charge and FTO’s to evaluate their leadership styles within the context of the patrol setting. Management of numerous patrol challenges will be discussed within a highly interactive setting. Safe and proper responses to these situations will be particularly stressed. The main goal of this course is to provide a forum in which students may evaluate their personal leadership styles as well as their responses to various patrol challenges faced by the Officers-In-Charge.
Course Content
The training will be broken into the following segments, each with their own goals. Leadership Assessment: This block will provide students with an opportunity to examine their own leadership behaviors and styles through the completion of individualized written assessment tools. Procedural Challenges: Review important considerations when handling such situations and that of an Officer in Charge, effectively responding to various patrol incidences. Initial Response to Unusual or Violent Deaths: This unit provides students with an overview of death scene management while specifically focusing on effective “first responder” actions which aid follow-up investigators. Response to Critical Incidents: This unit will outline a review of the proper response to critical incidents and the corresponding responsibilities of the Acting Patrol Officer In Charge. Case Studies: This unit provides students with opportunities to examine 18 different case studies during small group sessions. These exercises will facilitate recognition and use of appropriate decision-making processes an O.I.C. must employ in each scenario.
