What are the types of training that police officers receive and what are their purposes?
What will be an ideal response?
Following the completion of a basic academy, most departments assign their new officers to a Field Training Officer (FTO) program. The FTO program serves two primary functions. First, it has a training function. Some aspects of the job can be learned only through experience. Second, the FTO program is an evaluation phase that determines if new officers have the ability to be police officers–whether or not the new officer can adequately apply the information he or she learned while in the academy. Roll-call training during roll call affords an excellent opportunity for the department to update officers' knowledge and to present new ideas and techniques. In-service training is the most common method for maintaining and improving officer competency and may also reduce the likelihood of citizen complaints and future litigation.
