Sgt. Anthony Iacuzzi Completes Police Supervision Course

MCC Public Safety Sgt. Anthony Iacuzzi completed a 3 week long Police Supervision Course at the Public Safety Training Center. 

This is a Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) 105-hour certified course. This course is designed for those law enforcement officers that have or will receive permanent appointment as a first-line supervisor. The Police Supervision Course is a mandatory requirement for any recently appointed supervisor of law enforcement personnel. The curriculum provides a learning experience that assists the newly-appointed supervisor in making the transition from the rank-and-file to management. Through practical exercises, the trainees learn to successfully apply acquired skills to a wide range of realistic supervisory problems. The curriculum provides a wide range of general subjects such as communication skills, both written and oral, techniques of counseling and discipline, ethics, crime prevention, community policing, incident management, and police use of force incidents. The curriculum also provides for updating the trainees knowledge of criminal and procedure law and stresses the concept of vicarious liability. During the course, the trainee will be exposed to a wide variety of management styles, thereby allowing the individual to be flexible and utilize the one most appropriate to each situation. Finally, the curriculum prepares the trainee to successfully meet the present challenges of police supervision and to realistically anticipate and plan for any situation. Daily attendance and successful completion of academic and performance testing is required in order to receive certification.
