The Critical Role of the FTO

from Rescuing 911 · host Randy Sutton

Rescuing 911 Episode 003In an off-the-cuff question during our interview with Lt. Randy Sutton (Ret.), we stumbled upon one of his favorite topics: the importance of the Field Training Officer and how the role makes a critical difference in the quality of new police officers. Tune in for this extra that you won’t find in the book Rescuing 911: The Fight for America’s Safety.Randy also digs into the absurdity of the phrase “Defund the Police.” Even though it isn’t being said as much the action is still happening.  Listeners are encouraged to buy a copy of Rescuing 911: The Fight for America’s Safety today.
