People Centered Command
Leading Civilian Employees
The traditional command-and-control style of leadership is, quite simply, an unsustainable and risky approach to motivating and managing civilian employees. According to the FBI, over 30% of all employees working in police agencies today are civilians. But many uniformed/sworn commanders struggle to adjust their management style to meet the needs of the changing workforce in 21st century law enforcement. As a result, the internal workings of many police agencies are unstable, chaotic, and unnecessarily stressful.
This 3-day workshop will teach attendees critical skills and concepts related to the management of civilian employees. Best practices in HR management will be explained and modeled so that attendees know and appreciate the value of “soft skills” in creating a strong, effective work environment.
The workshop is taught by John Collins, a nationally known and respected instructor and consultant with over 20 years of experience in forensic science and law enforcement. He is certified by the Society for Human Resource Management and has a Masters degree in Organizational Management. John presents real-world methods and scenarios to help students apply what they learn.
