Bob does an exceptional job in terms of developing credibility with the audience. He does this through his use of personal
examples and illustrations from his real-life experience. In this regard, he brings personal and applicable credibility to
the learning process. He exemplifies ‘professionalism’ and commitment to the highest qualities of policing and is a valuable
representative of the Leadership Division of the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission.
I have known Captain Bob Woolverton for 28 years, having worked under his supervision since my law enforcement career began
in 1988. Bob has always managed to deliver results for the agency and those under his supervision. His management style is
one of a genuine leader, providing training, support, and direction in a way that leaves those under his charge feeling like
a participant rather than a subordinate. Bob excels in strategic planning, organizational development, and delivering results
in all areas of law enforcement. Post law enforcement, I used the management techniques and supervisory style I learned from
Bob to advance my career with great success, resulting in a senior executive role leading a national team.
