1 FOSTER CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT FIELD TRAINING PROGRAM FIELD TRAINING PROGRAM MANUAL AND GUIDE Revised December, 2013 A FIELD TRAINING PROGRAM CERTIFIED BY THE CALIFORNIA COMMISSION ON PEACE OFFICER STANDARDS AND TRAINING 2 FOREWORD The purpose of the Field Training Program Manual and Guide is to provide a standardized program to guide recruit police officers and lateral experienced officers joining the Foster City Police Department, 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 and during any prior police experience to performing general law enforcement patrol duties competently in the field with the Foster City Police Department. This Field Training Program Manual and Guide is the textbook of the Field Training Program. It is a compilation of a comprehensive effort of design and review. This most recent revision is in part based on the model program authored by the California Commission on Peace Officers Standards and Training. The mission of the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training is to continually enhance the professionalism of California law enforcement in serving its communities. The Field Training Officer 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 recruit officers in the initial application of their previously acquired knowledge and skills. This manual serves as an instrument to assist the FTOs in thoroughly and properly completing their task of training and evaluation. This standardized program is an accumulation of the best aspects of existing field training programs and is designed with the following criteria in mind: Defensible/Fair - The program achieves defensibility and fairness by proper selection of FTOs, a trainee feedback mechanism, a comprehensive list of training tasks and goals, and a standardized evaluation process. Effective/Manageable - The program is performance-based and includes adequate documentation, minimum time completion requirements, and competency specifications. Adaptable/Flexible - The program is adaptable to changing policies and procedures. Flexibility is afforded by incorporating agency-specific policies and procedures along with POST objectives. The Field Training and Evaluation Program is designed to achieve the following goals: • To produce a competent peace officer capable of working a solo patrol assignment in a safe, skillful, productive, and professional manner. • To provide standardized training to all newly assigned regular officers in the practical application of learned information. • To provide clear standards for rating and evaluation which give all trainees every reasonable opportunity to succeed. • To enhance the professionalism, job skills, and ethical standards of the law enforcement community and the Foster City Police Department. 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS FIELD TRAINING PROGRAM REVISION COMMITTEE Field Training Program Coordinator, Lieutenant Frank Derris Sergeant Dave Barsanti Corporal Mark Lee Corporal Bill Sandri Corporal Mike Shaffer Corporal Shawn Chiasson Corporal Mohammad Aslam Special thanks to Reserve Officer Roger Fisher for the Program Revisions and PBT Group 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE PART I - PROGRAM ORIENTATION Field Training Program Description/Overview ............................................................... 7-9 Field Training Program Elements ................................................................................ 10-20 Role/Expectations of Recruit Officers ......................................................................... 21-22 Role/Expectations of Field Training Officers .............................................................. 22-28 PART II - EVALUATION and REMEDIATION Evaluation .................................................................................................................... 30-37 Performance Evaluations ............................................................................................. 38-40 Remedial Training ....................................................................................................... 41-42 Remedial Training Strategies ....................................................................................... 43-49 PART III - THE FIELD TRAINING PROGRAM GUIDE Field Training Program Guide Elements ..................................................................... 51-52 Field Training Program Guide Overview .................................................................... 53-56 Training Phase and Topic Overview………………………………………………....56-58 PART IV – RECRUIT TRAINING GUIDE Introduction………………………………………………………………………………60 Field Training and Evaluation Program………………………………………………….61 Orientation Checklist…………………………………………………………………62-64 Chain of Command……………………………………………………………………....65 Standard Evaluation Guidelines…………...…………………………………………66-71 Sample DOR (Daily Observation Report…….………………………………………….72 Sample DOR (Daily Observation Report) Narrative………….…………………………73 Best Practices Study Guide (Topics Listed Below)…………..………………………74-93 Vehicle Pursuits…………………..……………….………………………….74-80 Code 3 Driving……………………………………………………………….81-82 Control Devices/Techniques………...………………………………………..83-84 Search and Seizure……………………………………………………………85-86 Taser Guidelines………………………………………………………...……87-90 Use of Force………………………………………………………………..…91-93 Routinely Used Penal Code Sections………….…………………………………………94 5 Procedures for Regularly Occurring Incidents………………….……………………95-99 Vehicle Code Test…………………...………………………………..…..……….100-101 Code Reference Test…………………………………………………………….…102-105 Foster City Municipal Codes………………...…………………………………...…….105 Constitutional Amendments……………………………………………………………105 Legal Terms……………………………………………………….……………………106 Radio Code Test………………………………...……………….…………..….…107-108 Phonetic Alphabet……………………………………………………………………....108 End of Phase Questions (Phase 1)……………………………….………….……..109-110 End of Phase Questions (Phase 2)…………………………………………………111-112 End of Phase Questions (Phase 3)…………………………………………………113-114 End of Phase Questions (Phase 4) ……………………….………………………..115-116 End of Phase Questions (Phase 5)…………………………………………………117-118 Field Training Officer Critique Form.....………………………………….……….119-112 Field Training Program Critique Form...…………………………………………..122-124 Completion Record and Competency Attestation Form…………………………...125-126 APPENDIX A – RECRUIT COURSEBOOK Phase 1………………………………………………………………………….A01-A15 Phase 2………………………….………………………………………………A15-A32 Phase 3………………………………………………………………………….A32-A48 Phase 4………………………………………………………………….............A48-A61 Phase 5…………...……………………………………………………………..A61-A66 6 PART I PROGRAM ORIENTATION 7 FIELD TRAINING PROGRAM DESCRIPTION/OVERVIEW The Field Training Program is intended to facilitate a peace officer's transition from the academic setting to the performance of general law enforcement patrol duties of the Foster City Police Department. Although an officer graduating from the Regular Basic Course (Academy) has received a thorough introduction to basic law enforcement subjects, that officer cannot be expected to immediately assume the full responsibilities of an experienced officer. Newly assigned officers must receive additional training in the field where they can learn from officers who have already gained a great deal of practical patrol experience. The Field Training Program introduces a newly assigned officer to the personnel, procedures, policies, and purposes of the Foster City Police Department and provides the initial formal and informal training specific to the department and the day-to-day duties of its officers. In addition, the Field Training Program facilitates the transition of experienced lateral officers who have a foundation of police experience and who are joining the Foster City Police Department to continue with their career. Over the course of the program, new officers are assigned to Field Training Officers (FTOs). The FTO is an experienced officer specifically selected and trained to conduct this type of training. It is the responsibility of the FTO to thoroughly review the field training guide materials with the newly assigned officer (henceforth referred to as the recruit officer) and to demonstrate proper professional skills. Recruit officers will be required to perform various, law enforcement and police service duties under the guidance and supervision of their assigned FTO and Watch Commander. With few exceptions, the recruit officer’s performance will be evaluated daily by the FTO and monitored by the Watch Commander through daily observation reports (DORs). This one-on-one style of training, coupled with the fact that the trainers must guide the training in real law enforcement situations, sets it apart from any prior academic endeavor. Field training has a significant impact on the individual recruit officer in terms of imprinting attitudes, style, values, and ethics in carrying out the duties of policing that will remain throughout a career. Because of this, it is probably the most effective influence on the future direction of this agency. The Chief of Police and the Field Training Program Coordinator must, therefore, be certain that the field training program which introduces officers to the agency not only develops the necessary technical skills but also reflects the policing philosophy of this department and the Foster City community. The field training staff has the monumental responsibility of building the future of the Foster City Police Department through the people they train. To assure success in this task, the field training program must have a training philosophy that ensures that every recruit officer is given the maximum opportunity to show that he or she can do the job. To accomplish this, the program must create a positive environment in which learning is maximized and in which recruit 8 officers are able to perform to the best of their ability. The approach must be fair, firm, friendly, and, above all, professional. The example set must be beyond reproach. Evaluation must be sincere and given in a straightforward manner emphasizing the positive as well as the negative aspects of performance. At no time should recruit officers be demeaned or ridiculed. Even the least capable recruit officer must be treated with respect and compassion. No recruit officer should ever be treated in a way that deprives that recruit officer of his or her dignity. Every effort must be made to ensure that the stress felt by the recruit officer is caused by the job and not from the words or actions of the FTOs. The Field Training Program Coordinator and staff have a responsibility to the Foster City community whom they serve. This responsibility requires that the agency trains and retains only the most competent proactive officers. Realizing that not everyone has the capability to perform the complex, demanding tasks of the police officer, if the training staff has done all it can and the recruit officer does not meet the acceptable standards, agency administrators must have the strength to take the necessary action. To do otherwise would be an injustice to the department, the Foster City community, and to the recruit officer. To accomplish the field training task requires supreme dedication and patience. The feeling of accomplishment will come in watching the recruit officers succeed. If the field training staff have fully carried out their responsibilities, they may see their recruit officers exceed even beyond their own accomplishments.
