About SARGE
Sergeants are the most important leaders in every police organization. Without the support of Sergeants, no leader can change the culture of the organization. Sergeants translate new ideas, policies, and procedures from upper leadership to line officers and detectives. Sergeants are the ones who ensure that line staff embrace the changes- or they can undermine leadership. The most respected Sergeants are referred to as "Sarge" by everyone in the organization.
