Description
This course prepares participants to serve as Field Training Officers (FTOs) for correctional staff. It is built around a modified “San Jose” model, one of the most widely adopted frameworks for FTO programs across the U.S.
The training equips new FTOs with the knowledge, techniques, and instructional skills needed to train, evaluate, and mentor correctional officers effectively. The focus is on building professionalism, confidence, and accountability in both trainers and trainees, ensuring that correctional facilities maintain high operational standards.
Although tailored to corrections, many of the lessons apply broadly to other FTO programs in law enforcement.
