The First Line Supervisor (FLS) Program is mandated by COMAR for newly promoted or soon-to-be-promoted public safety supervisors. Participants must complete this 35-hour program within 12 months of their promotion. This program provides supervisors with the essential leadership and administrative skills needed to excel in their roles. Through a blend of foundational concepts and practical application, participants will learn to effectively transition from a team member to a leader, problem solve, and navigate the complex legal and ethical challenges inherent to public safety. To successfully complete the program, students will be required to take daily quizzes with a minimum average score of 75% and maintain at least a 90% attendance throughout the duration of the course. There is a strict deadline for registration of 1-week prior to the first day of class.
