• In the second chapter of SUPERVISION OF POLICE PERSONNEL describe how a supervisor accomplishes his duties in relation to the direction function. In my professional experience and education, it is simplistically imperative that first line supervisors must be clear, fair and credible. After answering the first sentence of this question, elaborate upon whether you concur with the preceding sentence or the textbook and why.
• Delegation is an important component of first line supervision. Delegation failures are delineated in SUPERVISION OF POLICE PERSONNEL - chapter # 2 and should be discussed as part of this paragraph and assignment.
