Qualities of an Effective Police Supervisor
1. Define knowledge and skills required to be an effective supervisor of police personnel.
An effective supervisor should be versatile and about to adapt to any situation. An effective supervisor should have active listening skills, by taking the time to understand the points being made, asking the appropriate questions, and not interrupting the speaker. The supervisor should be able to convey information effectively. Use logic and reasoning to identify strengths and weaknesses to find alternative solution, approaches to problems or conclusions (Geberth, 2006).
A Police supervisor should monitor and assess performance and implement ways to improve or take corrective actions when necessary. They must also adjust actions to each individual. According to Geberth (2006), a police supervisor should have knowledge of laws, legal codes, court procedures, precedents, agency rules, and regulations. Most police supervisors are normally responsible for no more than twelve officers or eight beats. Supervisors should be able to lead officers and provide them with the required knowledge and tools to carryout their jobs successfully.
Any good supervisor what acts with policy, will be able to lead his or her subordinates through any given situation, while providing them the guidance if needed. There will be possibility that he or she may have to make decisions if necessary to act outside of the policy (Geberth, 2006).
2. Describe how self-appraisal can be used to improve supervisory skills and give suggestions from your experience.
A self-evaluation is a written review of our own performance during an evaluation cycle. It should include rating of established goals, competencies, and overall performance since the last review. When we self-assess, we are actively participating in our own evaluation. Doing our own evaluation will enable us to honestly assess our own strength, and areas see that we need to improve upon. This evaluation will
