"Try to analyze various situations throughout your tour of duty. Give yourself quizzes by asking yourself: How would you explain the situation to the lieutenant? Did you properly handle various situations with the resources available to you at the time; how would you handle a disgruntled employee; would you recommend discipline (if so, how much)? With this mental attitude, you begin to feel like a sergeant. Suddenly your attitude changes and you are looking at various things in a different light, which will give you an advantage over your competition because you are now developing the feeling of a supervisor rather than that of a police officer. This mindset has to feel good; you have to feel comfortable with it; it has to become your "clothing". In other words, you have to own it!"
