Field Training Officers have significant additional responsibilities over and above their law enforcement duties. Not only are they responsible for the performance of general law enforcement duties, they are also responsible for guiding recruits through a comprehensive curriculum that requires the blending of knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as the good judgment of when, where, and how to apply them.

This course provides the FTO with the essential tools to apply techniques of coaching and role modeling while giving encouragement and direction to the recruit. It is based on the highly regarded San Jose, California Police Department FTO model.
