This four-day, hands-on course is specifically designed for first line patrol and administrative support services personnel responsible for supervising and managing Field Training Officers and probationary employees.  This course reflects the Sokolove Model for Field Training.  This course emphasizes necessary components of supervising probationers and Field Training Officers at the patrol shift level to ensure that administrative guidelines and legal requirements are met.  

Two essential supervisory responsibilities will be highlighted:  
(1) the ability to comprehensively examine probationer performance documentation in accordance with the revised, legally defensible standardized (non-numerical) Field Training and Evaluation Process assessment guidelines, and 
(2) auditing the probationer's on-the-job training to ensure the Field Training Unit utilizes the most appropriate instructional techniques for corrective action. 

 Presentation will focus upon discussion of critical Field Training issues as well as hands-on completion of course materials during small group and individual in-class exercises.  
Students are required to complete out-of-classroom reading assignments.  Course content will include:    - Field Training and Evaluation Process structures that work to produce a Self-Reliant Probationer (TM)  
- Essential contents of the Probationary Officer's Manual  
- Definition of Field Training Officer duties/responsibilities:  Recruitment, training, mentoring, and compensation issues  
- Field Training Process software applications, in-class demonstrations  
- FTO scheduling issues/resource allocation
