Because it is such a well-oiled machine, the City of Columbia, S.C. police department (CPD) is hosting a leadership training seminar this fall aimed at teaching “performance and accountability” to law enforcement personnel from across the state.

For the bargain basement price of $240, the seminar promises to teach cops how to:

  • Understand and avoid the seven supervisory behaviors that de-motivate good employees
  • Speak and write the language of performance
  • Clearly communicate your expectations and provide feedback about performance
  • Effectively document performance and write objective, meaningful performance evaluations
  • Appropriately establish and assert your authority without challenging employees
  • Appropriately confront difficult and resistant employees without losing
  • Recognize and handle the manipulations commonly used on supervisors

Hmmmmm …

All of that sounds well and good, but based on the way things are going with the CPD lately, we’d recommend saving your $240.

You failed to mention that former Capt. Randy will be doing a few sessions in the seminar.

They will be:

1. How to score dope on the down low from the evidence locker, or preferably your subordinates via perp shakedowns.

2. How to use dope to lure college co-eds into your love nest on the down low.

3. The elements of plausible deniability in situations under which control has been lost.

There will be side bars for extenuating circumstances, including:

A. How to protect yourself under session 3 scenarios above by potentially implicating your colleagues and cohorts.

B. Use of your authority under session 2 to intimidate potential witnesses

Crackers will be served during the sessions, but we’ll tell them what to do under the guise of “public service”.(pun intended)

I have never heard of any agency or business making employees pay for required training.
I think FITSNEWS is confused…again.

Wonder whose pocket(s) the fees will find?
