About the event
This 5 Day Field Training Officer Class is based on the original San Jose FTO Program. It is CALEA and MPAC Accreditation compliant.
The class is designed for Veteran Officers to teach them how to develop their leadership skills necessary to effectively train and properly evaluate today's new recruit officers in preparation for their solo patrol duty.
· Officers will learn ways to tailor their department’s program to fit their department’s own needs.
· Officers will learn about different "Adult Learning" styles and how to apply them to this generation.
· Officers will practice completing Daily Observation Report (DOR) forms and learn how to consistently evaluate and grade
their trainee's performance using "tips and tricks" as well as their Standardized Evaluation Guidelines (SEGs).
