Set the example-lead from the front Keep your team Focused on the mission Always be fair and genuinely care about your people Never forget that leadership is about your people, not about you. The job of sergeant where the rubber meets the road in a police department is the most important of all ranks Congratulations! CMSGT USAF (Retired) Chief of Police (Retired) | |||

I’ll give you the advice often given to me in the military after an promotion or qualification. “Good luck, now don’t fuck it up!” Humor aside, a hearty congratulations - I have seen you labor over the years after the big D and all the struggles that entails coupled with the change of jobs. Happy to see if all start paying dividends for you. Keep it up! | |||

Congratulations, Sarge! Best damn job in pretty much every department in America. Not much to add to advice except to try to be a good 'gate valve" for your guys. Unnecessary crap shouldn't flow down from above you to your officers, or percolate up to command staff from your squad. The first frees your guys to be good, effective cops. The second will not go unnoticed and will help TPTB give you the "slack" you and your squad want/need. | |||

Excellent news. Continue doing what you have been and don't forget where you came from. Sometimes people forget what it's like to do the menial leg work and piss on those beneath them. Go forth and conquer with your bad self! ___________________________ No thanks, I've already got a penguin. | |||

Facts are stubborn things |
Sargent, Great news. It is hard to believe it has been four years since you came to the Queen City. Advice: Leading and Managing are not the same skillset. You will need both daily. The best advice I can give is to make sure your team knows you love them. If they know that, when you have to deliver the crappy news that comes with middle management, they will know that you did everything you could to help mitigate the crap. No one gets into police work for the money, they do it for the love of service. Make sure you communicate that daily. It is a tough job and sometimes it is easy to get jaded when you are dealing with difficult people all the time. Don't be a Pollyanna, but make sure they remember why they go out every day. Do, Or do not. There is no try. | |||

Fighting the good fight |
Congratulations, Sarge! (My agency doesn't have "Sergeants" specifically, having a non-military rank system, but my current position is equivalent to a Sergeant.) As I'm sure you've recognized already, one of the biggest responsibilities is looking out for your subordinates, both by being an advocate for your team and a "shit umbrella" for crap that rolls from uphill, as well as by handling problems you discover before they become big enough to jam your guys up. So always look for ways to stand up for and shield your guys, while also keeping an eye out for issues which you can help your guys correct and opportunities to dole out advice. | |||
