  The Instructor for this Workshop will be Jack Harris.  About Jack Harris . . .

As a trainer, workshop leader, keynote speaker and conference presenter, Jack Harris makes presentations to law enforcement and public safety personnel from around the world on a variety topics aimed at helping Keep Good People Good. With an insightful understanding of human nature & behavior, as well as a good sense of humor, his presentations are entertaining and filled with useful information, not just theory and trendy “buzz-words.” His unique combination of law enforcement & management experience, behavioral science background, and a passion for practical solutions, allows Jack to provide results-oriented training that helps people develop practical skills they can apply to everyday, real-life situations. 
 
He is known for his work in the areas of personal resilience, change, emotional survival, work-life balance, stress & burnout, conflict & anger, management & leadership skill development, dealing with difficult people, managing disgruntled employees, workplace violence, and trauma & critical incident response. His upcoming book, Giving Feedback That Matters, is being written to help managers develop the skills necessary to be more effective and confident when dealing with personnel related matters. 
 
Jack began his law enforcement career as a deputy with the McDonough County Sheriff’s Department in Macomb, Illinois. After spending twenty years with the Tucson, Arizona Police Department, Jack retired in 1994 as a captain. During his career, he held a variety of operational and administrative command assignments, including human resources, training, patrol, air support, narcotics, communications, management information and staff services. 
 
 In addition to his law enforcement background, Jack is a licensed counselor, trained mediator, Board Certified Expert in Traumatic Stress by the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress and a certified instructor for the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation. He holds a Masters Degree from the University of Arizona and a Bachelors Degree from Western Illinois University.
 
Course Objectives: 
Law enforcement executives begin their careers as passionate, idealistic, enthusiastic people who are often heard saying “I can’t believe they pay me to do this job.” Throughout their careers, they are exposed to the “realities of the job” and a variety of subtle day-to-day pressures/demands. Without an effective strategy, these things can be devastating to even the most experienced and capable people.  
 
During this presentation the participants will take a unique look at the world in which they live and work. They learn how a combination of personal passion & commitment, ongoing change, risk and exposure to the day-to-day pressures associated with running a law enforcement agency can . . . 
 
[ affect people professionally and personally
[ lead to disillusionment, frustration and anger
[ lead to professional burnout
[ contribute to increased conflict (professional and personal)
[ cause good people to make bad decisions
[ turn passionate enthusiastic, idealistic people into cynics who begin to resent the profession they once loved
[ lead to increased apathy and decreased motivation
[ cause people to become less resilient
[ contribute to serious health issues
 
The participants will have an opportunity to assess their own level of resilience and vulnerability to pressure and demands, politics, change, burnout, anger and other related concerns. 
 
This presentation is designed to give the participants a combination of practical information, strategies and skills that can help them prevent the day-to-day pressures from destroying the very things they have worked so hard to build. They will learn techniques they can begin using immediately to develop and maintain the balance and personal resiliency that is essential for their long-term professional and personal well-being.

SUPERVISION OF POLICE PERSONNEL

February 20, 2012 8:00 amtoFebruary 22, 2012 5:00 pm

 

 

MONDAY – FRIDAY

LOCATION:     NORTHERN ILLINOIS TRAINING ADVISIORY BOARD    1645 BLACKHAWK ROAD  ROCKFORD, IL

INSTRUCTOR:   NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY CENTER FOR PUBLIC SAFETY

Being a first line supervisor is one of the most difficult and challenging jobs in any organization today. Placed between workers and managers, supervisors must deal with the perspectives and responsibilities of the two groups, while at the same time maintaining their own identity and job satisfaction. This is especially true for the Law Enforcement Supervisor.
 
After promotion the new supervisor is expected to do an entirely different job, with little or no instruction in how to effectively supervise others. The supervisor’s job today has new challenges due to the complexity of policing and the volume of job-related data. Moreover, it has been shown that officers’ performance and morale are more strongly influenced by the immediate supervisor than by any other factor in the work environment. An agency’s success or failure at accomplishing its objectives can thus be directly attributed to the competence and commitment found in the ranks of its first-line supervisors.
 
This one week course can be the cornerstone for all of the agency’s managerial instruction. Students learn the tough job of leadership. The focus is on understanding human behavior and integrating this into day-to-day work relationships with fellow officers and the public. The instructors are police managers (active or retired) who combine extensive experience with solid academic credentials. Your department deserves the continuity that can result from sending all your supervisors.
 
Supervision of Police Personnel is designed for new or soon-to-be appointed supervisors. Those who have not had the benefit of full training for the job of supervisor will benefit as well.
 
Course content will include:
                        Leadership                                           Managing the Problem Employee
                        The Supervisory Challenge                  Principles of Decision Making
                        Communication Skills                          The Disciplinary Process (Complaint Investigations)
                        Employee Performance Appraisal       Ethics, Professionalism, & Community Image
                        Motivational Principles                        Cultural Diversity
                                                Case Studies in Effective Supervision
 
Students will be expected to complete projects during the scheduled classroom time and be required to complete reading assignments outside of the scheduled classroom time.
 
THIS COURSE IS BEING CO-SPONSORED BY MTU #1, MTU #2, AND MTU #5.
CONTACT THE ILLINOIS VALLEY CRIME PREVENTION COMMISSION TO                                      ENROLL. ENROLLMENT IS LIMITED.
