Form Post 2 238 PDF Details

The Post 2 238 form, a crucial component of the Police Officer Standards and Training (POST) Field Training Program (FTP), meticulously outlines the framework for evaluating the progress and competency of police trainees through a Daily Observation Report (DOR). Revised in June 2013, this form draws from a standardized evaluation grid, the NICS SCALE, to determine a trainee’s performance across multiple areas critical to effective law enforcement, including attitude, appearance, relationships, performance, knowledge, and more. Evaluators, typically Field Training Officers (FTOs), rate each category with a focus on the trainee's acceptance of feedback, integrity, community relations, driving skills, investigative skills, officer safety, and problem-solving abilities, among other traits. Observations warranting a rating of "Needs Improvement" or "Superior" necessitate further documentation in a Narrative Evaluation, underscoring specific instances that justify these ratings. Additionally, any behaviors not observed or areas where the trainee is not responding to training are duly noted, ensuring a comprehensive appraisal. This systematized approach is designed to foster an environment of continuous feedback and targeted remedial training, thereby ensuring trainees meet the rigorous standards set for solo patrol officers.

INSTRUCTIONS: See Appendix 1, Standardized Evaluation Guidelines (SEGs) for how to rate observable behaviors. A rating of C (Competent) is the minimum acceptable score within each category to meet the standard for solo patrol officer. Ratings of N/I (Needs Improvement) or S (Superior) require a Documented Situation (DS); check DS and describe the related event in the accompanying Narrative Evaluation. Check N/O if behavior is Not Observed or NRT if trainee is Not Responding to Training. Enter Remedial Training Minutes (R/T MIN) as minutes only (e.g., 1hr, 30 min = 90 min). A completed and signed Narrative Evaluation must be attached.
