The Basic Field Training Officer course is a 40 hour course specifically designed for experienced officers who will be serving as Field Training Officers for the agency. The class will use an innovative approach to deliver a dynamic classroom experience that will prepare the officer to successfully train and mentor new officers to the agency. Using the San Jose Model as its core, this course features the "best practice" legally defendable evaluation process that is being used in public safety agencies across the country. The prospective Field Training Officer will be exposed to the benefits of using the Field Training and Evaluation Program during a new employee's training and the specific roles of the Field Training Officer will be presented and discussed. Trainee documentation and legally defendable standardized evaluation procedures will be instructed through discussion and practical exercises. The Field Training Officer will learn about the program's structure and how to modify it specifically for your agency. Remedial training action plans will be developed to address the trainee's performance weaknesses, along with the Field Training Officer's responsibilities as it relates to the training. Materials will be provided with the information needed to make valuable improvements to your agency's existing program.
Topic Include:
Audience: This course is designed for all categories of sworn law enforcement and officers who conduct on-the-job training of newly hired officers; shift supervisors responsible for the daily supervision of FTOs and their trainees; watch commanders unfamiliar with FTO program processes; agency training officers; FTO program managers who have not attended the basic Field Training Officer course and FTOs whose basic FTO training was more than the "gold standard" of five years ago.

Law enforcement leaders encounter a myriad of society's most difficult and demanding challenges. Leadership is influence. Each of us has the power of influence. Becoming a leader places the need to recognize the potential in others and yourself. Accepting a new leadership role can be the most demanding position an individual can have, yet receives the least amount of training for. The sound leadership principles and skills addressed in this training will provide all levels of new, current, and future leaders with a foundation to immediately transfer these principles and skills to real-life challenges they will encounter in both their personal and professional lives.
Practical Leadership for Law Enforcement: Developing the Next Generation of Leaders is a cutting edge five day program built specifically for current or future field training officers, first line supervisors, and middle managers with the goal of enhancing their leadership competencies.
