Dan Greene on the evolution of field training
How to better train trainers to meet the needs of today’s police recruits.
“One of the biggest evolutions in field training is that the program molds to the student as adults learn in different ways,” says Dan Greene, the executive director of the National Association of Field Training Officers (NAFTO). As a former FTO and FTO supervisor, Dan knows what FTOs need to become better trainers and educators. At the recent NAFTO conference in Louisville, Kentucky, Policing Matters host Jim Dudley spoke with Dan about the evolution of FTO training in law enforcement.

The NAFTO Executive Board and staff could not be more proud to serve along side our Secretary, Graham Tinius. Graham’s personal sacrifice to respond to help those in need in Kentucky is a fine example of his character. Graham is a highly committed man of service.

SANDY, Utah — It’s almost like a calling.
Ask any law enforcement officer why they pursued this career, and you’ll often hear it’s because they want to help people. It’s what led Graham Tinius to the job and ultimately to the Sandy Police Department.

President’s Message
President's Message
With the end of 2020 in sight, I’ll join many in hoping 2021’s arrival ushers in
better times. One of the many changes we were forced to make was the postponement of our annual national conference which had been planned for Spoakne, WA. For the uninformed, that’s pronounced Spo-Can. It’s the first time in recent memory that NAFTO has missed holding our annual conference and caused the additional issue of addressing our mandatory business meeting. Like other organizations, we resorted to using Zoom to satisfy the bylaws of our non-profit association.
HELP THEM BECOME WHAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF.
HELP THEM BECOME WHAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF.
“If I accept you as you are, I make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming I help you become that.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
A leader’s job is to help people become what they are capable of, to help them live into their potential. For a variety of reasons few of us are aware of our potential, of what we are capable of becoming. What most of us need is a guide; someone who can see that potential in us, treat us as though we are what we are capable of, and help us become that.
