Ask yourself this question: How much will the promotion in rank or  increase your “Upward Mobility?” Your “Retirement?”  Options after your “retirement?” 

Is your agency helping you prepare for that next promotion? Identifying the specific Knowledge, Skills or Abilities and other characteristics (KSOA’s) that you want to demonstrate your “readiness” to promote? Helping you develop the leadership skills to be successful in that next rank or higher? If not, we will! We have a proven track record of helping develop future leaders, since 1990!  

Consider the coaching, class or text as an investment in your future. 

 Practice Scenarios, sample interview questions, and sample written exams are available upon request. There is a minimum of a 30 day lead time for written exams as they are custom made for your agency. From a training perspective, consider the new challenges in supervision and management that we are facing today. Our scenarios are always based on current “hot buttons” not only in your agency, but in the profession.

We realize the seriousness of the challenges officers face. These include Global Pandemics,  civil disobedience, social unrest and anti-police attitudes. We wish all of our colleagues in public safety our heartfelt gratitude for doing the noble work you do everyday, regardless of the risks. For a free KSA worksheet for the rank you’re going for, send us a copy of the job description for that rank. Specify agency/rank/small group classes upon request
