Please see attached POST profile that notes over 2000 training hours. In May 2015 I completed CA POST supervisory course (80 hours). Course description: In a facilitated environment, students will develop individual and group projects. Participants will return to their agencies with a solid understanding of the techniques of supervision as well as alternative, practical solutions to identified supervisory problems. This course is an intensive participatory class. There are homework assignments, group exercises, role playing, and presentations. Student involvement is mandatory. Topics Include: Values, Ethics and Principles; Critical Incident Management; Discipline; Effective Communications; Transition Issues; Feedback; Employee Relationships; Role Identification; Liability Issues; Adult Learning Concepts; Problem Solving/Decision Making; Employee Performance Appraisal; Power and Authority; Team Building; Training Employees; Internal Affairs Investigations; Leadership Styles Counseling; Future Issues; Stress Management; Conflict Management; Accountability
In June 2021 I completed POST Management course (104 hours). Course description: This course presents new managers with the information and skills they need to develop to succeed as a middle-manager. The promotion to Lieutenant dramatically changes a person’s view of their department, and their level of responsibility and accountability. Through this course, the student will explore these changes in relationships, perspective, and the new skills demanded of them.
