New Training Curriculum
This document will be an outline at how we will approach your training + academy progression. After your interview, you will be passed and hired to the FTD. This is where you will go over academy trainings. You will be introduced and given the opportunity to learn the basics. You will go over test exams as well as power points so you understand the basics of policing within the Department of Public Safety.Stage 1 - Waking up for Duty
To begin your shift, you must understand the basics. Before signing on for duty, you should always have your Patrol Vehicle ready. Ensure required equipment is stored and that it’s fully fueled up for work. After that, head to your locker, get your uniform and service items from your personal locker. Once you have that, ensure you have all your proper equipment: Bandages, Armor, iFaks, etc. Once you have this, if you haven’t already, head to your patrol car, turn on your radar. Activate your bodycam and dashcam, and finally join Radio Channel 1. Clock on duty on the MDT, and then signify that you are 10-41 10-8.Stage 2 - Standardized Patrol
Once you are 10-41, you will begin standard patrol. Check where other units are located and spread out. Your job is to look for suspicious activities in certain areas and locate the problem people and what they are doing. Write reports so we can shut down these operations. You are also allowed to perform running or stationary radar. Write tickets, enforce laws, and be a presence to be reckoned with.Stage 3 - Call Response and Priority
Being an officer you need to know how to respond to calls. Everyone wants lights and sirens, but sometimes that isn’t necessary. There will be a lot of calls that don’t require more than a Code 1 response. Prioritizing calls is the one that gets a lot of officers in trouble. You need to listen to who’s responding to what call. All calls need to be answered, weather it’s after a priority call or before heading off of shift. Your responsibility is to determine what needs you the most over something else.Stage 4 - Discharging Firearm
Nobody wants to shoot, however, sometimes you may find yourself in that situation. Please ensure your body camera is functioning so an off-scene supervisor can clear you for returning for duty. You need to ensure you keep track of how many rounds you fire for reports as well.Stage 5 - Ending Shift
To end shift, think back to how you started. Just do it backwards. 10-7 10-42 with clocking out of MDT. Then Park your patrol car in the garage (unless you need to take it home {personal}). Place all equipment in your locker, and get out of your uniform. You are obligated to follow all laws off duty and carry all necessary documentation if having a weapon off duty.Always document your firearms/equipment and submit your fingerprint, DNA, and a picture to the MDT, so you are on file.
