The National Association of Field Training Officers continues preparing your Field Training Unit for the
challenges of 21st century policing by providing a comprehensive and client-oriented curriculum. NAFTO,
in conjunction with the John H. Stamler Police Academy, is proud to offer our Basic Field Training
Officer Course in Scotch Plains, NJ, a 25-minute drive from Newark Liberty International Airport.
This training is designed for personnel entering Field Training Units in Patrol, Detention, Communications,
and Support Services.


Basic FTO School
Field Training Officers train and evaluate career candidates in preparation for solo duty in law
enforcement, corrections, and communications. Our Basic 3 Day School will provide the new FTO with
the tools necessary to train and evaluate career candidates during the field training process.


NAFTO's Basic FTO School is a nationally recognized model for preparing experienced patrol officers for
a career in field training. The San Jose Model, Reno Model, and Modified San Jose Model are discussed.
The course focuses on the FTO themselves, and how they can improve their interpersonal and instruction
skills to increase trainee retention. The classes incorporate a variety of learning activities, including group
work, case law discussion, and video scenarios.


This 24-hour class covers such topics as Intro to FTO, Adult Learning, Generational Leadership,
Standardized Evaluations Guidelines, Ethics, Equal Opportunity Employment, Civil Liability, and Officer
Safety. Each block of study is directed at the Field Training Officer, and ways to improve their teaching,
work product, and approach to today’s Officer in Training. Information includes motivating different
generations of trainees, career survival for the FTO, and liability pertaining to evaluations. Unlike most
schools, NAFTO does not focus on a single model of field training. NAFTO offers techniques and skills
that can be applied within any training model.


Seating limited to the 1st 45 applicants, no exceptions. This class will sell out and it will sell out
quickly.


Cost: - $375 per student, which includes training materials and 1 year membership to NAFTO.
Refunds are offered more than 30 days from class minus a $20 processing fee. Refunds are not
offered within 30 days of class, but student substitution is permitted at any time prior to class.
NAFTO is a 501(c)3 non-profit educational and professional association concerned with apprenticeship training.

At some point during your career, you will need to write a search warrant, and courts have consistently emphasized that a warrant is the preferred method to conduct a search or to make an arrest.

This class is geared to those with little to no search warrant training or experience. During this one-day course, we will teach officers how to properly write and execute search warrants and arrest warrants. No matter what your assignment is, this class is a MUST! Course highlights include: writing your qualifications, how to properly write your affidavit, developing an operations plan, executing “Knock and Announce” warrants and “No Knock” warrants, when officers are not required to “Knock and Announce” before executing a warrant, warrant execution case law, and much more.

The Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) is a nationally acclaimed best model originally developed by the Memphis Tennessee


Police Department. New Jersey’s CIT program is a county-based collaboration of professionals committed to improving


their county’s law enforcement system and the mental health system’s response to persons experiencing a psychiatric


crisis who come into contact with law enforcement first responders.


The Crisis Intervention Team model is based upon building a collaboration and strong communication network between


the community’s police department and mental health system. Once established, the collaboration develops a strategy that


increases the communication and supports between police and mental health systems and consequently diverts


individuals from the justice system to mental health services. When a public safety situation occurs involving a person in


psychiatric crisis, law enforcement officers will often be the first responders. CIT training provides participants with


knowledge and de-escalation skills which may decrease the necessity to use force in certain situations, thus protecting


both the officers involved and the person in crisis.


The CIT certification course is a 40-hour five-day training for law enforcement officers, first responders, dispatchers,


mental health professionals and community outreach members. It is comprised of classroom instruction, community site


visits and practical exercises delivered by local mental health professionals, CIT law enforcement instructors and other


subject matter experts. The curriculum is a comprehensive overview of the wide range of issues that influence the


outcome of a law enforcement officer’s response to the agitated or disruptive behavior of an individual experiencing a


crisis. The course provides participants with communication skills that can de-escalate a potentially violent situation


The 40-hour CIT class is comprised of approximately 30 students and is designed to be interactive in order to increase the


individual participants’ personal networks. (Sometimes it’s who you know that gets the quickest results!) For Law


Enforcement participants a minimum of 3 years’ experience is preferred.


This training is offered at no cost to participants. Professional attire required.


PRIORITY WILL BE GIVEN TO UNION COUNTY FIRST RESPONDERS AND


MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS.

We all cringe when we see the viral video of a First Amendment auditor baiting a police officer and they fall for it. Many police officers lack training on the First Amendment and what citizens are entitled to do. While citizens are allowed to exercise a right, they are not entitled to break a law to do it. This class explains when First Amendment encounters violate the law. It covers:

• Citizens recording in public

• Citizens recording the police

• When citizens are not entitled to record

• When recording the police constitutes an offense

• When an officer can request identification

• Explaining to officers that New Jersey IS NOT a “Stop and Identify” state and that simply failing to identify oneself is not a violation
