WELLNESS TRACK

• Ripple Effect: The Social Impact of Ethical Decision Making
  Chief Jeff Beazizo, Lake Stevens PD

Developing law enforcement support services leaders is often overlooked by law enforcement leaders. This training will explore the importance of making choices or decisions as an employee or supervisor and why is that important for the team to be successful. Once promoted, civilian leaders are responsible for holding employees accountable for the choices or decisions that are made. This is another area where civilian staff are typically not developed for success because staff sometimes hesitate or are scared to make a choice or decision because of the outcome of making the wrong decision. This can consume so much of the supervisor’s time if employees are constantly asking for permission.
