Abstract

Police field training and evaluation programs are vital for officer development; although very little research has been conducted in this area. This study aimed to build a field training and evaluation program policy for the Turkish National Police Organization using the framework of corresponding police departments’ programs in the United States. Mission statements, program structure, standard evaluation guidelines, field training officer selection, and recruit termination are the fundamental elements of the FTO programs, which were reviewed in this research.
