In addition to subject matter expertise, the role of the trainer is to enhance the performance of the officers. The Transformational Trainer is an instructor enhancement program designed to help trainers focus on “how to train,” not just “what to train.” This program is designed to challenge instructors to think differently about law enforcement training in an effort to improve officer performance in the field. This course will incorporate guided discussions, case studies, video analysis, self-assessments and small group exercises.
