The role of the training officer is among the most important in any law enforcement agency. It is the training officer who is charged with passing on the values and culture of the agency, making certain the new generation of field officers continue the agency's mission and philosophy.

This program reviews several facets of contemporary law enforcement training— from a look at today’s trainee, to strategies that training officers may use to address attitude, conflict, intervention, and remediation. The video focuses on the knowledge base, protocols, approaches, methods, skills and techniques that develop professional training officers within an effective officertraining program. Developed from both a “best practices” and a “lessons learned” approach, the program utilizes discussion-stimulating scenarios, combined with comments and insight from experts in the field of officer training programs.
