Steuben County Sheriff Jim Allard reports that from May 5,
2020 to June 10, 2020, twelve supervisors from area Police Departments and
Sheriff’s Offices participated in and successfully completed the New York State
Division of Criminal Justice Services Course in Police Supervision, held at the
Steuben County Sheriff’s Office. Two
Corporals, three Sergeants, four Criminal Investigators, one Officer in Charge,
an Undersheriff and a Chief of Police attended the 105-hour course in police
supervision. Topics ranged from ethical
policing to constitutional law, to the role of a supervisor as a trainer,
counselor, leader and mentor, along with critical incident command training and
stress debriefing and intervention for officer wellness, and others. Each student was required to develop and
complete a cost-benefit analysis for a new community policing program, as well
as complete a final exam in which they examined and critiqued current policing
trends and tactics.
“This is just another example of the excellence in local
policing that we all benefit from” said Sheriff Allard. “Professional development trainings such as
this raise the bar for our local agencies and work to maintain consistent, high
quality policing.”
