Auditor

POST Sherman Block Supervisory Leadership Institute (SBSLI)

2000 - 2002

As an Auditor I had the opportunity to participate as part of the instructional staff at the POST Sherman Block Supervisory Leadership Institute (SBSLI). This is a program designed to stimulate personal growth, leadership, and ethical decision-making in California law enforcement front-line supervisors. Designed and implemented in 1988 through the efforts of California law enforcement professionals and top educators and trainers, the SBSLI is an intense program based on experiential learning techniques. Students are challenged to learn new ways to resolve issues through group and individual work. The curriculum takes students through an analysis of management (planning, organizing, directing, etc.) and leadership (inspiring, challenging, developing, etc.), and how each discipline compliments the other. The course progresses from self-evaluation, to interpersonal evaluation, to organizational relationships.
