Program Focus

This comprehensive course in first-line supervision provides the cornerstone for all of your managerial and supervisory instruction. Typically, the best patrol officer is promoted and then expected to do an entirely different job equally well, with little or no instruction in how to effectively supervise others to get the job done. You can trust Northwestern University Center for Public Safety to prepare your first-line personnel for a successful transition from officer to supervisor.

The SPP focuses on understanding human behavior and day-to-day work relationships with subordinates, superiors, and the public. The instructors are police managers (active or retired) who combine extensive experience with solid academic credentials. Northwestern University Center for Public Safety is dedicated to increasing the personal effectiveness of emerging leaders as they navigate today’s changing law enforcement environment and carry out the vision of your agency.
