Re: FTO Guidance
Hint one, if you are around a group of cops, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT UNLESS YOU ARE DIRECTLY ASKED A QUESTION. I do not care what you have to add to the conversation. You have not earned your right to offer your input to our conversations! I hate that more than anything when rookies do that! I dont care that you have years on with another department, your a rookie at the new department you choose. Get off FTO then you can start to talk. Even then wach out!
Hint two, ask Law Enforcement questions.... I do not care what you did on your days off. If it doesn't pertain to police work, I DO NOT CARE!
Hint three, do not be afraid to ask quesrions that relate to police work....Guest

FTO Memories
Some of my best years on the job was being a FTO. I enjoyed it. My goals were simple with each recruit. I wanted them to enjoy being a cop. Chasing bad guys was the game. I wanted them to run the show and allowed them to make mistakes without the fear of having everything documented. I had a third strike rule. We would talk it out twice allowing the teaching moment to sink in. The third strike resulted in documentation. I also told them that I would step in only if it was needed. This approach worked and allowed the recruit to relax and enjoy the job without the fear of negative comments on some useless form developed by the police academy. The other concept that I practiced was combating the negativity associated with assigning a numerical value to a task. After being told by the academy training officer that my numbers for the recruits were too high, I developed a different approach. At the beginning of the training cycle, I would explain to the recruit that we are going to play the numbers game. I wanted them to understand that these evaluations were somewhat of a joke and that we were going to play the numbers game. They knew in advance that regardless of how well they did at the beginning, I had to put a lower number down. Of course at the end, the numbers would be high. The end result was better performance and enthusiasm for the job. All the recruits became solid cops and had great careers. So if you have the chance to train, do so because you can make a difference. The future of law enforcement can be impacted by your influence.
