Good morning, good morning!

The last couple months have been interesting around the country and the world. Troops on the streets of DC, troops on the way to Chicago / Portland and then diverted, troops on the streets of Memphis. Several interviews this month with a career attorney and soldier lead me further to believe that the potential for this to be a step in the right direction is here! He discusses the importance of staying positive in the face of what we don’t Control and figuring out how to help that thing help our community.

I hope that anyone on patrol or new to a proactive criminal enforcement unit checks out the consensual encounter and report writing pieces. Understanding the fourth amendment, what the exceptions are and how to apply them will multiply your effectiveness. Once your unit sees you doing this effectively then they are likely to copy what you’re doing and next thing you know the unit got better! 

Writing a clear, concise police report absent of technical police jargon that matches the body worn camera, and any other video surveillance and witness statements will save your case and more importantly - your career!

Anyone in any level of police supervision has dealt regularly with problematic employees. That’s why managers and supervisors exist. If everyone just did the right thing all the time and knew their job then we could just have a chief and a bunch of officers and detectives.  Especially if you are new to supervision or just being transferred as a supervisor to a new unit, you can expect to have some issues shortly after you arrive. The supervision and leadership  episodes will offer a guiding hand to help you think about the consequences of your actions and how to motivate employees that may have lost the twinkle in their eye.
