In another episode recorded at the 2023 ILEETA conference in St. Louis, Mike and Brent sit down with the sharp-dressed 2017 Instructor of the Year and NAFTO Executive Director, Sergeant Dan Greene.
Having trained more than 250 officers in his 26-year career, Greene learned from mistakes he made early on and realized the key role that relationships play in the training process.
Now an FTO manager, Greene discusses the importance and difficulty of maintaining consistency across the program coupled with the pressure to deliver proficient officers in a timely fashion. He emphasizes the importance of FTOs maintaining and improving their own training capabilities and how NAFTO is a valuable resource for that personal growth.
