Supervision, Training, and Professional Development. ‌ Supervisors and department leaders have significant influence over the agency’s culture and maintaining xxxx- dards of integrity within the department on a day-to-day basis. Once hiring and training processes have been completed, officer supervision becomes the primary method of preventing and detecting officer misconduct with first-line supervisors (often the rank of sergeant) serving as the linchpin in making sure the accountability systems are used effectively. Supervisors are also responsible for modeling and coaching officer behavior, ensuring that officers interact respectfully with community members and demonstrate fairness and transparency in how they carry out their daily duties.

Failure to establish a culture of integrity, discipline, and professionalism can lead to officer misconduct and community distrust. Failing to pay attention to minor issues can lead to crisis situations. It is easy for leaders to get caught up in day-to-day responsibilities and miss substantive issues that can develop into serious problems. Leaders at all levels must constantly monitor the agency’s culture and environment to detect these issues, and it is imperative that the right people be in the right positions to ensure this happens, all the way up to the very top levels of the organization. In a forthcoming report on police leadership being produced by the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) for the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance,47 Chief Constable Xxxxx Xxxx of the Greater Manches- ter Police noted that the United Kingdom has a much more formal, structured, national system for developing leaders in policing than does the United...
