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.

Various, see course details
Fee: 0.00
Approval Code: C15826
SafeTALK is a half-day alertness training that prepares anyone 15 or older, regardless of prior experience or training, to become a suicide-alert helper. Most people with thoughts of suicide don’t truly want to die, but are struggling with the pain in their lives. Through their words and actions, they invite help to stay alive. safeTALK-trained helpers can recognize these invitations and take action by connecting them with life-saving intervention resources, such as caregivers trained in ASIST.
Since its development in 2006, safeTALK has been used in over 20 countries around the world, and more than 200 selectable video vignettes have been produced to tailor the program’s audio-visual component for diverse audiences. safeTALK-trained helpers are an important part of suicide-safer communities, working alongside intervention resources to identify and avert suicide risks.
Over the course of their training, safeTALK participants will learn to:
-Notice and respond to situations where suicide thoughts might be present
-Recognize that invitations for help are often overlooked
-Move beyond the common tendency to miss, dismiss, and avoid suicide
-Apply the TALK steps: Tell, Ask, Listen, and KeepSafe
-Know community resources and how to connect someone with thoughts of suicide to them for further help
