From the Inside Flap
Preface
Recognizing that the first-line supervisor plays an indispensable role in the enforcement of American law, and that a straightforward book dealing with the responsibilities of supervisors and the most effective methods of fulfilling these responsibilities was needed, the author wrote the first edition of Supervision of Police Personnel in 1970. Four subsequent editions have followed during the ensuing three decades. With the beginning of the new millennium, the author's brother, Marvin D. Iannone, has joined in the writing of this sixth edition.
During their long law enforcement careers—a combined total of 100 years—both authors realized (and have had this realization confirmed countless times) that certain tenets of the first-line supervisor remain inviolable and that one cannot supervise effectively without an appreciation of these tenets. These time-tested principles include the following:
Although a supervisor is a manager, he must first think of himself as a leader. Indeed, one cannot be a leader without followers. A first-line supervisor is a part of those whom he leads, while at the same time being apart from them. In such a role, he must represent the rank and file to senior management and simultaneously represent senior management to the rank and file. When supervising, he must practice the Golden Rule. He must earn, not demand the respect of others. He must set the highest example.He must without exception be consistent and fair. His honor and professionalism must always be beyond reproach.
It is the authors' conviction that a supervisor, experienced or inexperienced, who applies the principles and techniques outlined in this book while using the foregoing tenets as an ever-present backdrop will be well on his way toward actualizing his greatest potential.
This edition has been updated to be consistent with changes in the law and the currently preferred practices of progressive police organizations.
The authors sincerely express their gratitude to all those professionals in law enforcement for their many contributions to the preparation of this book, and we are particularly grateful to all who have had such a profound influence on our professional and personal lives. We also thank the following reviewers: Alvin Berndt, Criminal Justice Institute; Michael Buerger, Northeastern University; Alan Mentzer, Truckee Meadows Community College; and Alan Marston, South Maine Technical College.
Our special thanks to Clara and Patricia for their never-ending support and patience.

2.0 out of 5 stars
supervision of police personnel,
By roger crihfield (Canton, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Supervision of Police Personnel (Hardcover)
Supervision of Police personnel (6th) edition by Iannone/Iannone was included in the reference materials for recent promotional exams for both Sgt. and Lt.. Urge your civil service commission not to use this book. The authors take a paragraph to say what could be said in one sentence. Every paragraph contains run on sentences which makes for laborious reading at best. If the authors would heed their own advice concerning brevity this book would easily be half as many pages. There are other books that cover the same subject and most do it better.

IANNONE-POLICE SUPERVISION,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Supervision of Police Personnel (Hardcover)
THE BOOK ALTHOUGH SOMEWHAT INFORMATIVE IS LONG WINDED, BORING AND SEVERLY LACKING IN EXAMPLES. IT IS A HARD READ FOR EVEN THE MOST EDUCATED OF READER. IANNONE HAS MANAGED TO TAKE A 150 PAGE BOOK AND TRANSFORM IT INTO 360 LONG ARDUOUS PAGES.

Practice what you preach.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Supervision of Police Personnel (Hardcover)
I bought this book because our annual Sgt.'s exam would be taken from this text. While what Iannone covered was very important, his constant run on sentences made this text very difficult to read. Perhaps if Mr. Iannone would follow his own advice for instruction, avoiding oversimplification or overcomplication...then more people would retain the information contained in the book. Most of my fellow officers said that after reading a chapter, they had difficulty remembering what had been said. I had to go back to my old management books to get some of the basic ideas covered in Iannone's book.
