| Abstract | This book describes proven programs and practices for supervising and leading police employees. The book states that the effective supervision of people starts with effective self-supervision. Successful supervisors demonstrate a capability for holding themselves accountable for the completion of specific tasks and achievement of specific goals. The successful police supervisor fulfills a set of 15 vital responsibilities in the general areas of Team Basics, Team Building, and Teamwork. Team Basics provides the infrastructure for contemporary police work - community-oriented policing - and deals with values, ethics, and vision. Team Building includes the supervisor as team leader, and encompasses motivating, empowering, and training subordinates. Teamwork includes organizing for action, measuring the results of that action, rectifying mistakes, and ensuring that community policing works. |
