POLICE SUPERVISION: LEADING WITH
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AT ALL
LEVELS
Hosted by the New England HIDTA
and
BBS Narcotics Enforcement Training & Consulting, LLC
“It’s our world and you’re passing through.” This can be the attitude of many senior officers assigned to
supervisors, especially those working within a specialized team. A law enforcement supervisor, and the
officers within a police team, must know, or be willing to learn, how to work together to perform effectively and
consistently at a high level. Countless dynamics may impact the team’s ability to maintain this heightened
level of performance, which may include the following: navigating a variety of personalities, understanding the
mission of a specialized unit, working with different levels of expertise and experience between the team
supervisor and team members. This course will…
- Examine the roles of a supervisor and the officers assigned to a police team
- Provide foundational knowledge of group dynamics
- Give ways for supervisors to navigate different personality types within a team
- Help supervisors learn ways to traverse everyday ethical, operational, and administrative dilemmas
- Explore effective methods for supervisors to work with different echelon levels above/below them
This course is truly for anyone supervising a team at any level, or officers planning to be supervisors. The Instructors for the class will be Gerard Bartlett and Brian Sallee.
