Sample guide for use by field training officers in providing formal on-the-job instruction to new police officers just having completed basic police academy training. The guide offers a programmed, consistent means of assuring that all officers are qualified and knowledgeable in the same procedures and policies. Checklists covering a full range of general departmental knowledge and specific policing tasks provide the field training officer with a course of instruction as well as an orderly progress report on the new officer's growth and performance, while preventing unnecessary duplication of training. The major areas covered are: general orientation, the criminal justice system (California), police-community relations, law, evidence, communications, vehicle operations, first aid, defensive weapons, patrol procedures, traffic, criminal investigation and custody. Sample evaluation forms are included.
