FTOs deliver hands-on instruction in department procedures, community-oriented policing, report writing, radio communications, emergency response tactics and ethical decision-making. Through daily evaluations and structured feedback, FTOs ensure each recruit meets rigorous performance standards before solo patrol. Access the latest Police1 news, videos and resources on the important role of the FTO.
