The development of the Alabama Department of Public Safety (DPS)
Management Course has become an important first step in the
professional development of Alabama law enforcement supervisors. |
| Abstract:
|
One of the first steps in planning the program involved analyzing
the areas of training and instruction that other institutions
used in their curricula. First, the program coordinator analyzed
the training curricula other institutions used. Second, DPS
determined the appropriate amount of training and identified a
target audience. The department focused on sergeants as the
program's intended audience, because under DPS rank structure,
the sergeant is the second-echelon supervisor and, in many
instances, acts as a mid-level manager. Next, DPS had to choose a
textbook. DPS reviewed several nationally recognized texts and
chose one for the entire course. Instructors are qualified
college graduates. The course has laid a foundation for
leadership training and the development of more advanced training
courses. The program costs less than $500 per student, which
includes room and board for a 3-week period at the training
academy, whose dorms are used for housing. An exhibit shows the
course syllabus. 3 notes |
