Course Overview

Supervisors face a growing number of challenges in law enforcement today. Not only must they balance the responsibilities of providing qualified and competent employee performance for the community, but for the employees as well. One important step to ensure this is to create and maintain a professional work environment.

Unfortunately, there are employees who intentionally and unintentionally create a toxic work condition.

While the number of toxic employees is generally low, the amount of damage they can cause in an organization is very high. It is critical that leaders and supervisors understand the dynamics of the toxic employee, how they are created, and ways to mitigate the damage to the department.
