I checked both the MSP and MPTC sites and it appears as all FTO training classes has already passed. Does anyone here know if and when an academy or agency will be hosting a FTO training program?
Just for clairification looking for classes to train officers to become Field Traing Officers, not new recruits.

Thanks in advance.

The MPTC should have an updated fall course schedule out by next month. They usually offer a few FTO courses at each academy a year. If your dept wants to pay a couple hundred bucks, go to Roger Williams University Justice Research Center http://www.rwu.edu/academics/schools/sjs/jstri/

They run an FTO course on a regular basis

The Sgt that ran the FTO for MSP and locals at the SPA has since moved back into the field. I'm not sure if he's been replaced yet.

Interesting site, but my PD will only send me to the traditional training. SinePari, I heard he taught a great a class, maybe he'll still teach it on the side.

See if your PD will send you out west. We put our FTO school on every month, just like we have an academy class starting every month.

MPTC FTO school is a joke. 40 hours of Power Point Presentations and nothing else useless. Look for some other instructors or company such as SRR.

I attended the Roger Williams FTO class several months ago... good class, good instructors and great food! The subject matter can become a little boring, but the instructors really did well. In my class there was a mix of RI and MA police departments since the FTO model is pretty much standardized.

At least they will send you to a school, our new guys are placed with someone who has been on the road for 2-3 years, weather they want to be FTO'S or not

I've attended SRR, the MCJTC class (i'm old) and one run by Sgt. Sokolove of Ann Arbor Mich. PD Coach Sok taught a great "real" cop class. No BS, just heads up stuff. I'm sure you could contact him and see when he'll be on the East Coast again. The new MPTC class is crap.
