Field Training Officer Program

The Training Unit utilizes full-time police officers for our Field Training Officer (FTO) Program. These FTO's are primarily involved in the training, monitoring, and direct supervision of newly hired or graduated police officers and dispatchers. Only upon successful competition of the training period are the probationary employees placed into their solo phase.

The Training Unit is committed to furthering the training and continuing education of department personnel.
