This module places a heavy focus on police management, administration and supervision.Police promotion exams have questions that ask you to make the most appropriate decisions under some unique yet difficult situations. You are expected to pick the best possible options. To do this you need to know the underlying theories, principles and philosophies. Police science is all about the study and research of police work. Topics on criminology, forensic science, psychology, jurisprudence, community policing, criminal justice, correctional administration and penology would all come under this umbrella term. In most police promotion exams, however, these are usually not the focus. Managing a police organization is similar to managing most other types of organization - you are dealing with people, and you need to have the soft skills necessary to lead, to motivate, to communicate, and to manage. Topics on management, supervision and administration are therefore carrying heavy weights in the exams. We design this study guide from the ground up to fulfill such needs - you will learn the underlying foundation of all these soft skills so you can pick the best answers even when the questions are extremely difficult and tricky.
