Registration Process Register

During field training, effective coaching involves grounded coaching principles, a systematic approach, and the ability to lead by example in order to develop competent, independently functioning frontline police officers. To perform the job of policing, trainees need highly developed technical and physical abilities, as well as mental readiness skills which are characteristic of peak performing officers. Using adult learning principles, a coach officer’s job is to assess and develop these essential skills and performance indicators.

Coach Officer Training is designed to prepare coach officers to assist their trainees to apply the knowledge and skills acquired during basic training to the reality of policing. This course covers key elements of training, including setting goals, identifying relevant training activities, performance assessment, and remediation strategies, together with essential coaching techniques designed to develop police officer trainees.
