    Description
    This course fulfills the POST training requirements for Field Training Officers (FTO'S) and personnel with the responsibility of training law enforcement officers. It focuses on the core functions of an FTO which are to teach, evaluate, and document (TED). The instructional techniques used focus on the modern science of learning and specific techniques to build the student's teaching skills. Students are given opportunities to work on daily observation reports, remedial training plans, and to apply the standard evaluation guide rating scale. They are given several opportunities in the course to teach, counsel and evaluate mock trainees and complete related reports. Other topics include legal and liability issues for California Peace Officers.
