What are the potential benefits from shifting to the Police Training Officer (PTO) approach from the Field Training Officer (FTO) approach?

What will be an ideal response?


Police who have engaged in ongoing problem solving may be both more self -reliant and more prepared to face challenging situations as they arise. The emphasis on analysis, synthesis, application, and evaluation may prepare officers who are more able to apply learning to new situations rather than just
?knowing what they know.? Because it develops leadership, it likely better prepares officers to rise to the
occasion when they face a situation without the guidance of a higher -ranking officer.
