A few months ago, a listener wrote in and asked for advice for new police supervisors. He said, "I'd like to listen to someone that's been in a command role for years and I'd like to hear their experiences and also any advice they might have for the future generation of supervisors."
So today we're talking to Major Ryan Miller from the Overland Park, KS, PD. Ryan is a great leader who spent years in SWAT as an officer, a sergeant, and later as a captain and a major, supervising other leaders. He's a good friend, and often my go-to guy for police leadership questions. In this first part, we'll cover different styles of leadership at the patrol sergeant level, as well as leadership mistakes sergeants sometimes make, like being too rigid or not displaying enough confidence. And don't miss what Ryan says about building a network of peers to reach out to when you have questions.
