Effective leadership requires more than enforcing rules; it requires understanding the legal and practical framework behind discipline and investigations. This webinar will provide fire protection district leaders and supervisors with practical guidance on developing and enforcing policies, conducting fair investigations, and addressing employee misconduct.

Topics will include the Illinois Firemen’s Disciplinary Act, firefighter interviews and investigations, progressive discipline, collective bargaining considerations, grievance procedures, and the different rights and procedures applicable to career, probationary, civilian, volunteer, paid-on-call, and noncommissioned personnel.

Participants will also explore the transition from “buddy” to “boss” and learn how consistent leadership, documentation, fairness, and due process can help protect both the district and its employees.

Whether you are a chief, officer, or supervisor, this webinar will provide practical tools to help you navigate employee discipline with confidence and consistency
