Social Intelligence Skills for Law Enforcement Supervisors/Managers
by Stephen J. Sampson, Ph.D.
Skills for Maintaining Strong Working Relationships
Law Enforcement Officers spend much of their time interacting with people—and each other. Traditionally, law enforcement officers have been trained to keep the peace, but not necessarily to get along with people effectively. The basis for most of the training has been around the technical and functional aspects of the job such as report writing and developing policy and procedural knowledge.
This resource aims to change that orientation. Based on the careful study of work done by trainers and researchers in the field of criminal justice over the past several years, the skills necessary for successfully interacting and communicating with people—both on and off the job—have been identified and can be taught using the methods outlined in this book. Emotional awareness, managing emotion and listening skills are all components of improving social intelligence and successful communication.
