Every agency in the POST program may seek certification as a Telecourse (Multimedia) Presenter.  Appointment of a Coordinator is required for presentation of POST Telecourses for continuing professional training (CPT) credit. This workshop will review the Telecourse Coordinator’s role and responsibilities as defined by POST.  In addition, training will include: 

▪ Using the POST video resources to create a comprehensive training plan for your agency

▪ Satisfying POST CPT requirements using POST video assets

▪ Understanding the scope and requirements of legislatively mandated training

▪ Facilitating skills that ensure an environment conducive to learning

▪ Maintaining training records and archiving training resources

▪ Complying with POST certification requirements

▪ Creating a team of trained supervisors to deliver POST-certified training

In addition to preparing Telecourse Coordinators, this workshop is open to all law enforcement supervisors, dispatch supervisors, and FTO supervisors who wish to learn facilitation techniques, experience sample group interactions, learn methods and techniques for engaging officers in mandated training, and learn the importance of adhering to local agency policy and procedures.  Facilitation techniques is a unique skill that engages officers and dispatchers in training and is mandatory to train today’s adult learners.   Agencies who implement POST-certified video training are able to provide needed training and situational awareness in critical areas, retain proper records of such training, while also realizing significant savings on training costs and staff hours.   The POST Telecourse Program presents a unique opportunity to forge a unique training force. Fourteen programs are offered annually on topics including:  legal and case law updates, leadership, ethics and professionalism, officer survival techniques, contemporary law enforcement subjects, legislative mandates, and civil liability issues.  POST   training DVDs can be organized into comprehensive training programs that satisfy POST’s continuing professional training (CPT) requirements, legislatively-mandated training, and agency concerns with policy compliance at no cost to the agency.

POST has developed a 16-hour statewide workshop to train first-line supervisors (usually sergeants) to properly implement the DVD-based Line-Up Training Program.  The facilitators' workshop will provide first-line supervisors with an understanding of the Line-Up Training Program, facilitation techniques, sample group interaction methods, techniques for engaging officers in training, and importance of adhering to local agency policy and procedure. 

The POST Line-Up Training Program training sessions are designed to satisfy continuing professional training (CPT) requirements using a standardized approach to line-up training via high-quality, interactive digital video disc (DVD) technology in small group settings.  The program relies upon first-line supervisors, who serve as the majority of instructors in line-up training settings.  Key to the program is the incorporation of interactive discussions designed around job-related scenarios that engage veteran officers in practical problem solving exercises based on agency policy.  Topics for the program include pursuit driving, officer safety, enforcement of the law, seizure of evidence, tactical response, use of force and ethical decision making.  Officers may earn 20 hours of continuing professional training (CPT) credit using the program internally without having to attend off-site training.  All of these programs are available to agencies in the program at no cost.

Imagine Providing 52 Hours Of Training Every Year Without An Hour Of Overtime

This training opportunity will work for agencies of all sizes even if the agency doesn't have a formalized briefing/line-up time period.  A trained supervisor can provide POST certified training using a DVD-based telecourse to one or more officers in periods of time from as little as 20 minutes up to 2 hours (or the full length of any given telecourse).

A trained dispatch supervisor can provide a quality training experience to one or more dispatchers without leaving the agency building.  This program provide a maximum amount of flexibility to meet a wide range of law enforcement agency needs.

How To Get Started

Training workshops for law enforcement supervisors and dispatch supervisors are available throughout California at no cost to POST agencies.  All workshops are POST certified as Plan IV courses.  Workshop participants will receive 16 hours of CPT training credit.  Agencies should send sergeants or dispatch supervisors who can be assigned to facilitate the delivery of DVD-based training to their subordinates. This workshop will include:

• An overview and samples of POST DVD-based training programs.

• A 10-step method for facilitating video programs in a group setting.

• Develop individual style facilitating video training.

• Interaction with law enforcement personnel experienced in delivery a variety of DVD-based programs.

• All materials necessary to begin a POST approved program.
