Overview

This course focuses on executive decision making regarding police misconduct, next line supervision, and motivation of officers under investigation.  Additionally, this course will examine the responsibility of leaders in helping police officers investigated recover from disciplinary action, redeem their reputation, and move forward towards a productive career. During the program you will:

  • understand the distinction between employee underperformance, including behavioral underperformance, and misconduct.
  • Learn to separate the investigation of misconduct allegations from the management of performance issues.
  • develop clear and distinct policies for performance management and workplace investigations.
  • learn to train supervisors and managers to effectively performance manage and to conduct workplace investigations into allegations of misconduct, in line with department’s policies.
  • learn to minimize the chance of issues arising by creating and fostering a work environment where performance and behavioral expectations are clear.
  • understand the importance of maintaining all documentation related to the incident.
  • learn to keep your goals in mind when disciplining remembering that the intent is to correct the misconduct and modify the behavior, not to punish the employee for wrongdoing.
  • learn to deal with situations as soon as possible and to assure that you are disciplining consistently.
