I'm looking to see how many security firms use a formal Field Training program for their new hires. I have the following questions if your agency does:
1. How long is the FTO program, in terms of hours?
2. Were you always with your FTO, and if so, how long before you worked solo?
3. Was your FTO a supervisor?
4. Did you work one static post, or did you work multiple static posts and the FTO was with you at all?
5. What skills were you taught and evaluated on during your FTO phase?
6. Did the FTO write reports?
7. Could you of lost your job if you failed FTO?
8. Did you feel this was useful?
Please note: A formal FTO program is not "OJT" by the guard you are relieving on your first day. Its a program with employees who are there to do nothing but train, evaluate, mentor, and determine the fitness of probationary employees.
