INTRODUCTION

The Field Training Office was established to ensure each trooper receives adequate training, this includes review of all administrative documentation, learning inner-departmental policies and procedures, and on the road ride-alongs.

━━

The Field Training Program consists of a three-phase education format. This format prioritizes competency in law enforcement concepts, department, and community policies and procedures, in-game concepts, and becoming a self-sufficient Police Officer.

Phase #1: Classroom-based learning scenario that will cover many of the core competencies of any officer; report standards, CAD/MDT operations, de-escalation, building clearing, call responses, to much more. The finalization of this phase is after a written examination.

Phase #2: Serves as an observational ride-along where the Probationary Officer's primary objective is to observe the Field Training Officer's actions and reinforce the importance of radio etiquette, emergency motor vehicle operational skills, and equipment operations. 

Phase #3: The final phase of the FTO Program serves as an observational period for Field Training Officer to objectively assess a Probationary Officer's ability to conduct their job duties without FTO assistance. The Field Training Officer will only intervene when necessary to ensure department or community policy is not violated, ensure the life and safety of citizens and officers, and when the Probationary Officer requests it. The finalization of this phase is after a written examination is successfully passed.
