Policing Matters

Front-line officers are the backbone of every law enforcement agency, and some officers have the ability to perform without second-guessing or unreasonable restrictions. Great leaders give those officers a degree of confidence and autonomy by providing them with the training and resources to lead every day.  In this episode of the Policing Matters podcast, sponsored by Staccato, host Jim Dudley speaks to Chief Gerald W. Garner about how to turn good chiefs into great leaders. Chief Garner has spent his 53-year career seeking to disseminate leadership training. He has authored several books including the "Basic Handbook of Police Supervision: A Practical Guide for Law Enforcement Supervisors," "Police Chief 101: Practical Advice for the Law Enforcement Leader" and "Making Sergeant: The Biggest Leap in Law Enforcement." His most recent publication is "Leading the Small Police Department." About our sponsor This episode of the Policing Matters Podcast is brought to you by Staccato. Choose the handgun trusted by
