,EFFECTIVE POLICE
SUPERVISION STUDY GUIDE
Good police officers are often promoted to supervisory
positions with little or none of the training it takes to be a
good manager. An understanding of group behaviors and
organizational dynamics is necessary to grasp the
fundamentals of managing police officers. The Effective
Police Supervision Study Guide coordinates with the core
text used in many college-level classes and police
departments to teach supervisory practices in criminal
justice. This study guide prepares both students and
professionals for academic or promotional exams, offering
them an opportunity to fully review the material so that
they are well-prepared for testing.
This new edition, like the new edition of the textbook it
accompanies, includes information on the following
topics: police accountability, police involvement with
news media, the challenges of dealing with social media,
updates on legal considerations, and ways to respond to
current issues facing law enforcement with COVID-19 and
managing protests.
