Field Training Officer Video Scenarios Instructor Manual

In 1999, POST completed a set of video training scenarios to be used in Field Training Courses or by agencies in their in-house field training update. The goal of these scenarios is to train Field Training Officers (FTOs) to properly and consistently evaluate their trainees. The video scenarios and instructor materials are designed to be used in a classroom setting. The instructor materials offered here reflect minimal editing of the original text, to assist in navigating the web version.

To order the Field Training Video Scenarios, go to Video Ordering and Subscribing page. Instructor materials related to the video scenarios are available by clicking on the hyperlinks below.
