Pennsylvania State Police

Those working in public safety intuitively recognize that first-line supervisors are among the most critical within the organization. They are the linchpins, directly managing the majority of an agency’s personnel and acting as the crucial bridge between command staff and rank-and-file officers. In short, they shape the organizational culture. And while their role is monumental, their vast potential to improve policing practices remains largely untapped in most departments and communities. We believe the key to overcoming many of the challenges facing law enforcement today lies in harnessing the power of these first-line supervisors. While leadership training and opportunities for higher ranking officials continue to expand and evolve, the resources and training available for first-line supervisors are woefully lacking in many agencies. How can we rapidly support and advance policing? The answer is clear -- invest in our first-line supervisors. Today, my colleagues and I are introducing the national Consortium to Advance Police Supervision (CAPS). Fifty selected law enforcement agencies of all types and sizes from across the country have each identified one of their best first-line supervisors to join a consortium launched by the John Glenn College of Public Affairs at The Ohio State University. Over the next two years, this inaugural cohort of 50 of our nation’s top first-line supervisors will collaborate with academic and policing experts to share best practices, identify gaps and challenges, and develop innovative tools, resources, and training that will be tested in their home agencies and then widely shared with the field. Congratulations on the selection of our initial CAPS Supervisor cohort – we are excited to work with you and learn from you! And thank you to our innovative law enforcement agency partners (listed in the graphic below) who will introduce their selected CAPS supervisor to the field. Stay tuned later this week when we announce our CAPS academic and policing expert team and distinguished CAPS Advisory Board members. As we build our consortium, we will provide routine updates about our work, including information about how to access our tools and resources, and how you or your agency can get involved with our future work.
