This cutting edge, comprehensive professional development program is designed for Front Line Supervisors, and those about to assume their first supervisory role. The course was developed as a result of an extensive needs assessment that examined current best practices and identified gaps that exist within the New Jersey law enforcement community. Through careful design, our program takes place over the course of 4 (10 hour) training days to benefit both participants and sending agencies.

The foundation for this course is the mandatory course project. The project requires participants to focus on identifying a real-world public safety problem or ineffective/inefficient process and developing a plan to change or improve it. There will be an emphasis on choosing a project that serves to benefit the community the agency serves. After choosing the topic, the participant must develop a new process, procedure or approach that will be presented to their respective Agency Head for consideration.

Each participant will receive a course pre-packet that will provide a detailed course description, as well as the preparation required to successfully complete this course. Each course will be overseen by a NJSACOP Course Coordinator who will serve to assist each participant with their course requirements or needs and will be available both during and after class.

This course is designed for any supervisor/officer who is a committed law enforcement professional with a desire to lead people effectively and who is motivated to develop skills in:

• Communication
• Active Listening
