PART ONE
Module 2 Discussion….MINIMUM 250 WORD ANSWER apa citation
After five years as an officer, you were recently promoted to the rank of patrol sergeant by the new chief of the Gotham Police Department. The chief tells you he is expanding the authority and responsibility of sergeants and is looking for strong leadership at the supervisor level. Many of the officers you are now supervising, including your old partner, have considerably more experience than you. Your old partner is a 20-year veteran and trained you as a rookie. You consider him a mentor and a good friend. You confided in each other when you had problems. You were a popular officer and often attended social gatherings after your shift. You’ve declined several invitations since your promotion. Some officers are greeting you less cordially, and you hear talk that your promotion has changed you. Others openly wonder why your old partner was passed by for the promotion. Your old partner seems less friendly and sometimes questions your decisions at roll call. He often brings up things you did in the past and openly criticizes management.
1. The transition from officer to supervisor is difficult and sometimes isolating. Discuss some issues that complicate the transition.
2. What should you do as a new sergeant to prove to your officers that you haven’t changed? Should you use your new authority to demand compliance and establish your position of authority over your old peers?
3. Do different situations require different leadership approaches?
4. Do different officers need different levels of direction and support?
