Chad Oleyar and James Facemire graduated from the three-week Supervisor Training and Education Program (STEP) school, which was founded by the Law Enforcement Foundation (LEF) through the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAttendees learn ethics, effective listening and speaking, developing subordinates, supervisory response to in-the-line-of-duty shooting and patrol operations, critical incident management, conflict management,\u201d said Dave Finnie, chief of police.<\/p>\n<p>STEP is designed to help new first-line supervisors understand and handle issues and crises they may have never experienced. It helps newly promoted officers transition from peer-relationship patrol officers to managers responsible for employees, budgets and the public.<\/p>\n<p>Oleyar said the most challenging part of the program was accepting the role of a police supervisor and fully understanding the level of responsibility. He said realizes that his decisions have a great impact on those he supervises and the community he serves.<\/p>\n<p>The program includes 18 modules of civic leadership and communication education so graduates can lead their teams. Those who participate in the program come from a variety of backgrounds, including supervisors, civilians, alcohol and tobacco agents, and others from around Ohio.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would recommend STEP for other supervisors. The program lets you know where your weaknesses lie as a supervisor and gives you tools to improve said weaknesses,\u201d said Facemire. \u201cPrograms like these help supervisors become leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell-rounded officers are crucial in delivering the highest level of service to our campus community,\u201d said Oleyar. \u201cThe Wright State community deserves our absolute best effort.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More information about the STEP program can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lef-oh.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">lef-oh.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wright State police sergeants sharpened their leadership skills through a state Supervisor Training and Education Program.  <a href=\"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/2014\/12\/19\/wright-state-police-sergeants-boost-their-leadership-skills\/\" class=\"morelink\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48,"featured_media":34703,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[729,711,725,715,2024],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-around-campus","category-faculty-staff","category-home-news-sidebar","category-news","category-staff"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34702","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/48"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34702"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34702\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34706,"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34702\/revisions\/34706"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/webapp2.wright.edu\/web1\/newsroom\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
