Book excerpt: The purpose of this guide is to provide a standardized program to guide law enforcement agencies and field training officers (FTOs) in the initial orientation and field training of newly assigned patrol officers. The program is designed to assist these officers in making the transition from what they learned in the academy to performing general law enforcement patrol duties competently in the field. The role of the FTO is a critical component of the field training program. It is the primary responsibility of the FTO to facilitate this transition process by supervising, training, and evaluating trainees in the initial application of their previously acquired knowledge and skills.
