Jan Mirikitani leads the class in group discussions on Sergeant-related duties. The goal is to get Supervisors to consistently commit to their department’s missions for public safety, to develop their subordinates to achieve those outcomes, while building community trust. Although First-line Supervisors are promoted from the ranks, they are now accountable for Department goals bigger than their loyalty to Officer friendships. This training focuses on the Supervisor’s communication methods and commitment to Officer wellness & morale.
