MANSFIELD — The Mansfield Division of Police would like to congratulate Sgt. Jered Kingsborough and Sgt. Ryan Grimshaw on their successful completion of the Supervisors Training Education Program (STEP).
“Our congratulations to both sergeants,” Mansfield Police chief Keith Porch said.
STEP is a 3-week police supervisory course developed by the Ohio Law Enforcement Foundation (an affiliate of the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police) that is designed to develop newly promoted officers, or about to be promoted officers, into highly effective first-line supervisors.
STEP provides attendees with the competency skills necessary to lead and supervise in a high-performance organization.
The current STEP curriculum is comprised of 21 modules including modules on: transitioning to supervisor, leadership strategies, creating an ethical environment, mentoring, dealing with problematic employees, effective listening/speaking, performance management, conflict management, and supervisory response to line of duty shooting and patrol operations.
The training modules are presented over a period of three months, with attendees attending one-week sessions each month.
