A Study of Field Training Programs in the Ohio Valley Region

Research on law enforcement’s Field Training Programs, in the Ohio Valley, has been limited to date. Field Training Officers (FTOs) of six police departments, of different sizes, were interviewed to determine the nature of their field training programs and their roles in training new officers. Within each department, this study identified field training models and curricula. Responses were summarized and analyzed to determine which dimensions of effective training (Kaminsky, 2002) were utilized in each department’s training program. Results show that each department had unique field training programs. Each department used different modifications of the San Jose Model of training.
