FTO Liability is the mini course for Field Training Officers and the supervisors who oversee them. The course covers the unique legal exposure that comes with the FTO role, the Monell failure-to-train liability that flows through FTOs when their trainees violate constitutional rights, the heightened duty to intervene that applies when the supervisor is present, and the documentation practices that protect both the FTO and the agency.
The course is organized around one focused lesson. The legal framework. The supervisory liability theories. The duty to intervene as it applies to FTOs. The practical documentation. The training record that protects the agency.
After completing this course, you will be able to work as an FTO in a way that protects the trainee, the agency, and yourself, recognize the moments when the supervisory duty to intervene activates, and document the training in a way that survives discovery if a lawsuit follows.
