The success of a Field Training Officer (FTO) is dependent upon the ability to: 1) translate experience and understanding into training, 2) gain the attention, participation, and trust of the trainee, and 3) develop awareness, decision making skills, and confidence in the trainee. This telecourse examines how one FTO approaches these three points over the course of a single shift of the River City PD. Several key topic areas include: 1) the value of getting to know your trainee, 2) importance of personal preparation, 3) elements of verbal/communication skills, 4) teaching skills: primary and remedial, and 5) evaluation skills: delivery of good news and bad news. Re-release of October 2002 telecourse.
