In-Service - Scenarios and Tactics for the FTO - Calibre Press - 25

Brief Description: Scenarios and Tactics for the Field Training Officer by Calibre Press

Full Description: Those assigned to the all-important role of Field Training Officer (FTO) attend training on how the FTO process should be managed.  They are instructed on what subjects and tactics recruit officers need to be evaluated on.  However, few FTOs are trained themselves, on how to teach and demonstrate those all-important subjects and tactics.

This is a dynamic, interactive, and informative seminar developed by highly experienced Police Officers, trainers, and FTOs.  Over the 2-day program, students will examine their FTO role from the very beginning of the Field Training Process to the ultimate end.  They will address the "Why" about their role and goals.  They will learn how to teach adults and consider generational differences.  And, they will re-examine their understanding of tactics and how to mentor, demonstrate, and teach recruits so that they will develop an understanding of how proficiency is developed and how they should utilize that understanding as their careers progress.

Scenarios: Each student will be given dozens of scenarios to take with them and utilize during the training process.  They will learn how to include recruits, how to work with them, and what to look for as the recruit participates.  Topics we’ll cover include,

  •  It Starts with Why: Purpose, Cause, Beliefs
  •  Analysis of actual videos of police/citizen interactions
