Rationale: Police agencies have a myriad of policies, procedures and rules.  Many times, those standards are not universally implemented throughout an organization and sub-cultures and inconsistencies within that organization can result.  Methods to ensure Department wide compliance should be developed and implemented to develop the overall competence of the organization.  A rigorous set of inspections and audits can allow senior leadership to be confident that the agency’s policies are being followed.   Overview: This 8 hour course is presented in one full day.  It is designed for Chiefs and Command Officers.  It explores the “whys” and “how's” associated with conducting audits and inspections in police organizations though presentations, lectures and discussions.   Course Goals: At the conclusion of this course, the participants will:

1. Articulate the importance of audits and inspections.
2. Define the tenants of the non-confrontational audit process.
3. Discuss options for how to conduct audits with limited personnel.
4. Create a list of critical audits needed in any police agency.
5. Develop an extensive list of audit ideas based on their agency needs.
