Description of class: This course will prepare existing officers to serve in the crucial role as a field training officer for post-academy/agency-specific field training and evaluation programs. We will teach the San Jose model, as it is the most widely used program in the United States. However, the methods and techniques introduced in the training are applicable and adaptable to any field training program. There will be a strong emphasis on training and remediation principles and techniques during the course, not just evaluation. Students attending the course should be highly motivated with a genuine desire to serve as an FTO.
