This 40 hour course is specifically designed for experienced, uniformed patrol personnel selected to serve as Field Training Officers for probationary employees. This course emphasizes the FTO's role in assisting probationers in certifying for solo patrol operations by applying the knowledge and skills acquired during Basic Police Training/Certification and using them according to agency policies, procedures, and community service delivery standards. Instruction in this program highlights two essential Field Training and Evaluation Process skills: A) the ability to examine and objectively document the probationer's job behaviors using standardized assessment guidelines and, B) the analysis of the probationer's training needs and use of proper instructional techniques for corrective action. Presentation will focus on discussion as well as hands-on application of the course materials in small group and individual/student exercises. Students will be required to complete out-of-classroom reading assignments from the course text and workbook "Breaking Routine: Field Training Officer." Course content includes: - What every FTO really needs to know about the operational structure of the Field Training & Evaluation Process - The Instructional Relay Race: Taking over where basic police training/certification left off inventorying the probationer's current knowledge and skill proficiencies - Selection and use of on-the-job instructional techniques: finding the right tools to meet the challenge - Examining effective probationer assessment standards that produce outstanding law enforcement officers - Utilization of standardized evaluation guidelines - Documenting probationer performance - Performance assessment: objectively measuring probationer competence - Documenting the extent of training and coaching - Managing deficient performance and the "Not Responding to Training" probationer - Use of the Probationer Officer Manual as the Field Training playbook - Preparing the Probationer for Community Oriented Policing: Dancing with SARA! Students must bring a pocket calculator to class to complete light math exercises. Students should be familiar with their Department's current Field Training and Evaluation process and are encouraged to bring a copy of their agency's manuals and forms to class. This course has been certified by the Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board and is not reimbursable by the ILETSB. ** Cancellations for this program must be received by NEMRT 35 days prior to the start of the program in order to avoid being billed.
