“Police Command Staff Promotion Services”
Police Chief Coach™ services move beyond the Oral Boards Made Easy™ program to a more customized police leadership coaching process. When it comes to executive level jobs, selection decisions are often based on “fit” rather than just competency. “Fit” should not be left to chance.
As the Police Chief Coach™ Bill Reilly will personally conduct your confidential coaching sessions. With Bill’s guidance, you will establish your plan for success based on your competencies, your message, and the specific position you are seeking to achieve.

“Police Professional Development Coaching”
Police executive coaching gives you a deeper level of professional development than training courses.
Leading in law enforcement is tough. You are dealing with the impatience of others as well as their lack of understanding. The result can be unrealistic expectations from the public, politicians, department members, and the media. You can sink or you can swim. Successful 21st century police leaders swim.
New, aspiring, and experienced police chiefs will engage in a confidential process to guide them through the obstacles that stand in the way of their desired success. The achievement focus of professional development coaching is also well-suited for members of the chief’s executive and management team, allowing them to blend the chief’s vision into their professional development.

“Police Excellence”
Police Excellence provides all ranks of police leadership with tools they can apply to harness their organization’s culture.
By approaching influence from the big picture, leaders can suppress individual resistance. This can make the culture work for, rather than against, positive change. When the culture is healthy, positive behaviors are the norm.
The Police Excellence program fosters clarity of direction, certainty of behaviors, and the application of accountability to support integrity.

Details: Police Excellence
Influence is the most important skill for a leader to possess, especially when seeking a police culture of excellence.
Police culture and the law enforcement profession are changing at an exponential pace. From violent anti-police demonstrations to technological advances to reductions in funding, leaders at all ranks have their hands full in trying to keep police officer morale and productivity high. This has become so problematic that the frequent battle-cry within police agencies is ‘morale has never been lower’. Even more frequently, leaders are held to blame.
Despite this national challenge among law enforcement officers, there are police leaders who effectively influence their personnel toward excellence. These leaders take ownership and persevere. They recognize that their decisions and behaviors set the tone for those they are leading. They know that committing to excellence can be much more powerful than settling for mediocrity. They apply focus, courage, and discipline to raise the bar in their organization’s police culture.
Influence is “Job 1” for any leader. Police Excellence is large scale influence.
Police Excellence focuses on the organization’s police culture. By approaching influence from the big picture, leaders can suppress individual resistance to make the culture work for, rather than against, positive change. When the culture is healthy, positive behaviors are the norm and inappropriate behaviors are discouraged by the agency’s members – not just the leaders.
The Police Excellence program fosters clarity of direction, certainty of behaviors, and the application of accountability to support integrity.
At the end of the day, the culture can lead the leader or, the leader can lead the culture. Police Excellence creates a blueprint for the latter.

“Modern day solutions to ancient police problems”
-Leader Skills for Police Supervisors attendee
“Leader Skills for Police Supervisors” is a highly interactive, skills-based program to instill critical supervisory behaviors in new and experienced supervisors. If you are looking for a supervisory course that focuses on the need-to-know “how to” rather than the nice-to-know theories, read on.
This program re-energizes experienced supervisors, teaches skills to new supervisors, and retrains those supervisors who need to learn a more effective approach to leading and supervising in a law enforcement agency. This course is not a study of leadership theories; instead it is an explanation of the steps that effective supervisors take to align their personnel toward the attainment of their organization’s mission and goals. Skilled supervisors – regardless of the rank they have achieved – are competent, and competent supervisors can be trusted to lead their officers correctly. To assure that appropriate competencies were at the core of this program, it has been designed to mirror competencies measured in many promotion oral boards and assessment centers. This course is relevant for corporals, sergeants, lieutenants and captains and its content is appropriate for seasoned supervisors as well as those just starting down the supervisory path.
“This course reminds those who participate why its important to properly supervise and provides the skills and information necessary to become a responsible, effective leader within your agency.”
-Leader Skills for Police Supervisors attendee
The program presents as follows: Day 1: “Leading” focuses on:
- Integrity and Accountability
- Communicating Effectively
- Effective Leader Behaviors

- Counseling for Performance Improvement

“Not only a new supervisor should attend this. This is relevant all the way to chief.”
-Leader Skills for Police Supervisors attendee
Each of the above areas is explained with action steps, many have acronyms to make the material easier to recall, and all are followed by at least one interactive exercise (individual or group) so attendees have an opportunity to experientially learn the steps involved. A capstone exercise that considers all of the concepts and skills introduced over the three days is conducted at the end of the program. Each attendee will receive a course guide that reinforces the material introduced throughout the course. If enhanced supervisory performance after the training is your goal, you can have confidence knowing that this course was designed to help today’s police supervisors Lead, Influence, & Achieve with greater effectiveness.
“[This Course] offers functional solutions that can actually be implemented in real police departments.”
