Police First Move

On the very first day, I was overwhelmed and excited because I was going to learn from two great mentors. I was also excited to share my previous practicing leadership skills with other group members although I have greatly sharpened my leadership skills according to the framework provided by the facilitators on the first day. I had been provided different opportunities to demonstrate the leadership skills in my professional and personal life and I fulfilled the criteria according to that situation however, this course highlighted some gaps, which needs to be addressed in my future implications.

In presenting a theory about myself as a leader, I will attempt to draw conclusions about my strengths and weakness as a leader based on the things learned in this class. I will speculate on a reflective leadership best-self-portrait through my work experiences that draw on my interpersonal resources for vision.

The first responding officer begins the investigation immediately upon receiving the call from dispatch. It is important that the officer makes note of the information given from dispatch. The circumstances of the initial call determine the speed of the response as well as whether the responding officer uses lights and/or siren. If the suspect in the homicide is still in the area, the officer would probably not use siren and only use emergency lights as needed unless the suspect is a threat to others. The purpose of a silent response is to arrive with the highest degree of surprise possible, in order to possibly catch the suspect or suspects before they leave the area of the crime. If the suspect is a threat to others or than a siren may be helpful in deterring further violence. Other factors to consider in response are; the distance, traffic density, and timing of the reported homicide. Safety is the number one concern for the responding officer. That includes safety of the public as well as personal safety. One death should not turn into multiple

The interview was scheduled a month in advance and the interview questions were shared with the leader ahead of time (see Appendix). This allowed the leader to think about how she wanted to answer the questions. When the leader was asked to participate in the interview she was humbled by the request and enthusiastically agreed to take part. The interview questions were geared towards understanding leader’s leadership style and attributes as it relates to the leadership theories and the LEADS framework. The interview was conducted in leader’s office, lasted approximately 45 minutes and recorded with leader’s consent. The atmosphere during the interview was relaxed, the leader was open to answering the questions and the answers seemed

The first-line supervisor in law enforcement is commonly referred to as a Sergeant. These positions are of great importance to a law enforcement agency. There are many pros and cons to becoming a first-line supervisor. These positions are tasked with the expectation of maintaining a level of balance within the patrol ranks, as well as remaining fair and impartial among those ranks. There are also many expectations of subordinates. In order for both parties to meet these expectations requires a close working relationship.

Abstract: There are numerous definitions of leadership, all of which contain elements related to people (the leader and the follower(s)), communicating in person or by the written word, actions (organizing, directing, coaching, and/or motivating), and for a purpose (meeting a goal(s) or accomplishing a task(s)) (ADP 6-22) (Fisher 2015) (Bolden 2013) (Hogan 2005).

First-line supervisors produce actual departmental services and products to the community. Sergeants achieve this through contacting the officers they supervise directly, which ensures accountability as well as performance objective. Evidently, the sergeant’s work is similar to that of a symphony conductor, as it can either weaken or enhance the perception by the community on the professionalism of the department. Due to their close interaction with patrol officers, first-line Supervisors are a key element when it comes to identifying and reducing incidences of potential misconduct among police organizations.

people depend on their experience, knowledge and also characteristics In facing with the different situation may use different strategies.

I told her that she had given me some great insight as to what skills were needed to being a leader. I want to know how she is putting this to practice in an actual workload pressure on daily basis and especially in a cross cultural environment where people are from different culture a Take time to stop and think about each comment that you make. She stated that the golden rule is treat others the way you wanted to be treated. Even though the people are from different culture and practice, all are same in their basic needs a human. For instance, respect, love, care, privacy so on. Always take time to evaluate each comment and feedback you make. Need to make a conscious effort to have a smile on your face even you don’t like to do also. Off course when you are in a high position with authority people will definitely have a nature fear to approach you. If you want to make your employees happy simply act happy around them and make them feel that you really care for them. And try to address them by their name that will make more feel more personal. When they are in group give them positive feedback which will motivate them and give privately the negative feedback.
