What is required of the FTP Sergeant at the end of each FTO cycle?

The requirement for the FTP Sergeant at the end of each FTO (Field Training Officer) cycle is to meet with the probationary officer and the FTO to evaluate the officer's progress. This meeting is crucial as it serves as an opportunity to review the probationary officer's performance, address any areas needing improvement, and provide feedback for further development. The evaluation process is essential in ensuring that the new officers are adequately prepared to transition from training to independent duty and helps the FTP Sergeant make informed decisions regarding the officer's readiness and future in the department.

This action fosters communication among all parties involved and ensures that expectations are clearly established. It also allows the FTP Sergeant to provide guidance and support, fostering a collaborative environment that enhances both the officer's and the FTO's experiences during the training cycle.
