Know about the book -

Common Sense Law Enforcement Leadership is written by Gerald W. Garner and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0398094772 (ISBN 10) and 9780398094775 (ISBN 13).

Author Garner provides advice from his numerous books for aspiring sergeants, first-line supervisors, law enforcement mid-managers, and police chiefs, which can all be found here, along with a lot of new information. These different leadership ranks have enough in common that a single book would be of value to each of them. That is, of course, if the book contained practical advice that the law enforcement leader could apply to the challenges they face virtually every shift. This is intended to be that book. It recognizes that, while many leadership issues are the same regardless of the rank of the leader, some of the challenges faced by the sergeant are not identical to the ones confronted by the chief or sheriff. While advice applicable to every rank is furnished in each chapter, each chapter also addresses the different issues encountered at each leadership level. Hopefully, all that helpful advice emphasizes practical application, not theory. After all, that is what common sense is all about. You will draw heavily upon your training, knowledge, and experience to do that. To be truly effective in your quest, you must add a healthy dose of common sense to these things. This book will aid you immeasurably by relating the experiences – good and bad – of other law enforcement leaders. The information provided is not based on theory but on actual practice. A solid core of common sense supports it. The book will also help you take care of yourself by offering time-proven advice on working for someone, handling bad events, when and how to ask for help, and surviving the hazards of your position. This book is about helping you do your important job extremely well while living to enjoy great satisfaction from your accomplishments. It’s all about being a leader with common sense. It’s about you.
