How Internal Affairs Findings Can Be Used against You in CourtThe Supreme Court has held that the prosecution must disclose to the defense all relevant and material evidence. Material evidence includes internal affairs

findings that could be used to impeach a testifying police witness. The Supreme Court has also said that under some circumstances an internal affairs finding that prevents an officer from testifying can be grounds for termination. If you testify, or may testify in the future, you need to know what to avoid.

Emotional Intelligence and Effectiveness in Public Safety Research shows that 85 percent of what sets successful public safety personnel apart from those who struggle is their ability to use emotional intelligence (EI) effectively. EI is a type of intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use the information to guide your thinking and actions. It has major impact over the ability to influence others, resolve conflict, and see our own actions more clearly in times of stress. EI is particularly important because public safety personnel engage in managing conflict on a daily basis. It also influences our personal and professional relationships as well as our general happiness and satisfaction with our lives. People with strong EI tend to be more successful professionally and more able to make positive changes at work.

Topics include:

• Introduction to emotional intelligence (EI)

• The emotional and rational brain

• The importance of EI and public safety personnel effectiveness

• Measuring our EI

• The cost of weak EI; personally and professionally

• Maintaining/Improving EI

Confronting the Tough Stuff: Outside my Comfort Zone

Unfortunately, we can experience a great deal of discomfort in workplace situations. After all, we spend a large part of our waking hours working with people very different from ourselves, to achieve goals that may or may not be clear or realistic. It’s no wonder that situations emerge that we feel are outside of our comfort zones to address or solve. Discuss some of the most common (and most dreaded) examples of such situations and discover practical ways to approach each. Leave the class with a new repertoire of responses that will expand your comfort zone and give you increased confidence as an employee, supervisor, or manager.

Leadership Program For Supervisors

Think Like A Strategist

It is difficult for an individual or a company/department to progress if where you are and where you have been is not first understood. An evaluation of mission, goals, and strategies can provide discoveries that define a revised or new course of action. It isn’t enough in a competitive marketplace to depend on gut feelings or on doing what has worked in the past. To move to the next level, individuals and companies/departments need to analyze first, plan second, and execute last.

You will learn how to:

• Assess your current strategy

• Determine the helpful and non-helpful practices of the past

• Stimulate necessary change and build employee support

• Prioritize strategic efforts in parallel with the big picture

• Incorporate company/department culture in rollout of revised or new strategy

• Execute a strategy after careful analysis and planning

Difficult Conversations—Handling Underperformers

Workplace conversations can be challenging and especially so when you (or your manager) perceive someone on your team as an underperformer.

You will learn how to:

• Set expectations up front to help steer employees clear of underperformance from the start

Take a step back and look from the outside in with an open and rational mind—this is the impetus of a critical thinker. So often, our perspective is skewed by unintentional bias.

One of a supervisor’s responsibilities is setting the tone of the team. Norms and team culture are created by this tone, and it is up to the supervisor to continually re-enforce the kind of tone desired. Negativity can bloom in most team settings, and the supervisor who knows how to nip negativity in the bud can maintain the team environment wanted. Learn about team culture and norms, how to set and maintain them, and how to re-steer the team when dynamics shift.
