Approval Code: Various
The Maryland State Police in partnership with the Public Safety Training Commission has made this online training module available to all law enforcement officers in Maryland through the Moodle Training Portal.

This is a MPTC Certified course and 2 hours of online in-service credit is available for completion.

Field Training & Evaluation Program
PSETC Sykesville
Fee: 35.00
Approval Code: P28359
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.

FTF-Revolver Conversion (2-day)
Firearms Training Facility
Fee: 25.00
Approval Code: Pending
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.
This course is limited to 1 student per agency. Training Coordinators can contact Katie.Johnson@maryland.gov to add students to the wait list.

The course is designed to work with current Firearms Instructor staff on improving their performance shooting skill sets and giving them additional tools to pass this knowledge and information to other officers within the Department. All of John's courses are focused on the mindset of teaching and passing information, not just shooting. John will cover in detail the “why” behind what is done in performance shooting as the class is broken down into three separate categories:
1. Marksmanship: This is the baseline of all shooting, which involves the proper alignment of the sights and pressing the trigger without disturbing the sight alignment.
2. Recoil management: Controlling the gun's recoil, as much as humanly possible, by grip and stance. The less the gun recoils, the less distance the sights travel, which allows the shooter to drive the sight back to the desired point of impact and engage faster with follow up shots.
3. Manipulation: This is the gun handling. This covers drawing the gun, magazine changes, malfunction drills, driving the gun and, all the functions that keep the gun operating.
