AN ADMINISTRATIVE LEVEL COMMUNICATION CENTER SEMINAR HOSTED BY THE FREDERICK CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT IN FREDERICK, MARYLAND ON JUNE 5-6, 2008. PROGRAM APPROVED BY THE MARYLAND POLICE AND CORRECTIONS TRAINING COMMISSIONS FOR 13 IN-SERVICE HOURS

RECRUITING, TRAINING AND RETAINING COMMUNICATION CENTER PERSONNEL
June 5-6, 2008
The hiring and training program for many departments have been in the past a "learn-as-you-go" process. Now, because of increasing responsibilities of the telecommunicator, advances in technology, and increasing litigation, it has become necessary to develop a systematic approach to hiring and training personnel with emphasis on consistency and quality. This seminar is directed toward the communication center administrative personnel. Its aim is to provide information which might readily be utilized to increase the hiring of qualified employees, reduce the rate of dropouts and turnovers, and promote insulation against litigation. Topics to be covered include: (1) finding and actively recruiting good employees; (2) your role in the hiring process; (3) conducting an interview; (4) listening skills; (5) keeping good employees when funding is lacking; (6) rewarding good employees; (7) reprimanding employees in a positive manner; (8) developing an airtight discipline process; (9) planning for training; (10) effective training procedures; and (11) terminating the unproductive employee. INSTRUCTOR: Gloria Silva, Communication Center Training Consultant, Richmond, Virginia.
