Failure to train new supervisors to properly lead, manage, and run the day-to-day operations of the agency is one of the most common problems in public safety today. Leaders must be built within an organization and understanding the basics of leadership and management will be critical to help the new supervisor transition into their position. Developing good supervisors is one of the keys to developing a good agency. This course will provide newly promoted first line supervisors the knowledge and skills necessary to transition into their new position.
This 20-hour course will:
o Define the foundations of leadership and describe their departmental and personal vision.
o Understand the importance of developing and strong ethical foundation of all employees.
o Define fundamental leadership styles and understand their own personal style.
o Define the difference between performance issues, policy issues, and serious misconduct as well as the supervisor’s role in handling such incidents.
o List the day-to-day duties of a public safety-first line supervisor and how to prioritize issues.
This class is recommended for supervisors, newly promoted supervisors, or employees preparing for a future role as a supervisor.
Course Outline: A pre-test written exam must be taken by each student to gauge their knowledge coupled with frequent oral quizzes. Practical in-classroom exercises and continual evaluation of skills learned throughout the course.

Background Investigations for Michigan Police Applicants
2023-04-25 08:30 - 16:30 | Flint Township PD, 5200 Norko Drive, Flint Township, MI, 48507, United States
State statutes require law enforcement agencies to conduct thorough and comprehensive background investigations of those who will be licensed as fully empowered law enforcement officers in the state of Michigan. A comprehensive background investigation is perhaps the most important component of the hiring process because it helps agencies select only those who are the best fit for both the organization and the communities they serve. In 2019, the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards adopted an Advisory Standard to assist investigators in their efforts to obtain the necessary and relevant information on an applicant’s background, as part of the agency’s overall selection and hiring process. Thorough work done at the beginning of the hiring process, with attention to detail, can help agencies select the right applicant for the right reasons. The purpose of this course is to provide participants with useful information and resources that will assist them in conducting a thorough background investigation. Those attending will learn about
contemporary strategies in completing a comprehensive, competency based pre-employment background investigation on police applicants.

Topics will include:

The police officer hiring process
MCOLES Advisory Standard & Selected Best Practices For Background Investigations
Legal concerns
Suggested background investigation forms
Criminal record searches
Document verification
Background Interviewing
Employment verification
Military service verification
Educational verification
Reference checks
Internet searches
Out of state applicants
Background investigation reports

Attendees are encouraged to bring to the class a blank copy of their own department’s background questionnaire for
police applicants.

Instructor: Pete Ackerly is a retired Special Agent from the Michigan Department of Attorney General and has conducted pre-service background investigations on applicants for law enforcement positions across the state of Michigan.
