Welcome Message

Welcome to the J. Harris Academy of Police Training. This program was recently taught as an in-person class. Due to popular demand, we recorded the program and posted it in an online format to expand the message and our outreach.

The Program:

Developing a Supervisory Training Officer (STO) Program is a thought provoking course designed to spark change in our profession. Our goal is to move training of all ranks to a new, higher level. The success of our organizations and our profession continually relies on quality supervision at all levels. Yet, our training for each position is far inferior to what we provide for entry-level positions. Usually, supervisory training simply deals with administrative change.

This program is designed to think beyond administrative changes and focus on the new roles and responsibilities in human resource management. The ideas and suggestions brought about in this program may be adapted to configure a program that best fits your organization and ensure successful transitions in all leadership positions.

How the program works:

Our in-person class was recorded. Each component was separated into a different learning module. Those who register for this program will need to watch the instructional video lesson in full. Upon completion of the video lesson, you will then need to answer several questions to ensure comprehension of the knowledge presented. Upon passing the online quiz with a score of 90% or above, you will continue on to the next lesson in the que. For any reason, if you don't score a 90%, you will be permitted to retake the quiz.

Stock policies, a student companion guide, stock assessments are provided in the program and will be downloadable for participants. Upon fully completing all modules listed in the program, participants will receive a Certificate of Completion that may be downloaded and printed.
