Field Training & Evaluation Program
Virtual & On-Site (See Course Details)
Fee: 35.00
Approval Code: P46019
The transition from the police academy to the “real” world is a critical step in the development of law enforcement officers. The field training program is the essential link in that officer development. Field Training Program options include the traditional San Jose model; the problem solving oriented Police Training Officer Reno model; and the Proficiency field training model. The Field Training and Evaluation Program does not advocate any particular model. Instead it incorporates the best of all models in a manner that is realistic and applicable to the current environment.
This program will highlight the concepts and philosophies that emphasize the “training” role of an FTO. It is the goal of this program to inform students of the skills, knowledge and abilities that are needed to become an FTO. Initially, the program examines the roles of the field training officer – specifically, the fact that the field training officer functions as the “supervisor” of a field trainee. The program also focuses on the fact that an FTO needs to possess and demonstrate skills in leadership and delegation. Additional components of the program instruct to the following:
• Fundamentals of effective communication;
• Counseling;
• The various roles of an FTO, including the FTO as a trainer;
• Challenges facing the FTO;
• Training liability and legal issues;
• COMAR Field Training Requirements
• Ethics and Integrity
• Adult Learning
• Emotional Intelligence
• Diversity and Generational Differences
The program is a combination of classroom instructor and practical application. During the daily practical applications, students will
• Apply leadership traits and principles to an FTEP Program / training situation;
• Introduce trainee to FTEP expectations and standards;
• Rehearse counseling skills;
• Prepare a remedial training plan for a specific problem; and,
• Review evaluation instruments.
If the class is full and you want to be placed on a waiting list please contact Katie.Johnson@maryland.gov
Agencies holding a TBD seat must update the information one month ahead if there is a waitlist, and two weeks ahead if not. Thank you!

FTF-Revolver Conversion (2-day)
Firearms Training, 7320 Slacks Road, Sykesville
Fee: 25.00
Approval Code: P45425
The Firearms Training Unit has developed a new curriculum designed to further develop current firearms instructors. After the introduction of House Bill 218 (LEOSA) in 2005, agency firearms instructors are seeing more and more revolvers on their firing line. This is due to the fact that now retirees can come back and get their LEOSA permit to carry nationwide. Many of our older retirees carried revolvers when they were active and wish to do so in retirement. The problem this creates is that less and less current instructors are certified to teach revolver. If they aren’t certified in revolver, they cannot work a firing line with a revolver. This two day class will allow instructors to add the revolver to the list of weapons they are able to teach.
IMPORTANT NOTICES:
This class is for current Firearms Instructors ONLY and is only open to instructors who are not currently certified to teach revolver (no refreshers at this time). Also, this course is only open to MPCTC client-agencies. Client agencies are Maryland certified agencies under the regulated authority of the Maryland Police and Corrections Training Commissions (MPCTC).
A gear list will be sent as the course date nears. The Firearms Training Unit will be supplying the weapons, holsters, and speed loaders for each student. If you have a revolver you wish to use in the school, it will have to be pre-approved by Firearms Staff prior to the start of the school. No race guns! Contact JamieL.Green@maryland.gov with questions regarding weapons.
Training Coordinators can contact Katie.Johnson@maryland.gov to add students to the wait list.
