In this 1st discussion, we identify what is the main role of the first line leader- the Sergeant. An understanding of the responsibilities associated with the acceptance of a position of leadership is crucial in making an informed, knowledgeable decision as to whether you really want to take on this role. The first line leader, may be the most important position in the department; and can be the best, most fulfilling job you could ever have- if done right. Or, the wrong person, may foster an environment of mediocrity, stagnation, and become a liability to their agency, and those that they supervise. This discussion will help you to clarify what it really means to be a Sergeant.
