During the OJT Training Time Table, how long is the cadet expected to work with an assigned FTO after completing BJCOT?

After completing Basic Juvenile Corrections Officer Training (BJCOT), the cadet is expected to work with an assigned Field Training Officer (FTO) for a duration of two weeks. This period is crucial for the cadet's development, as it allows for practical, hands-on experience in a real-world environment under the guidance of an experienced officer. The two-week timeframe is designed to ensure that the cadet is sufficiently integrated into their role, understands the responsibilities and expectations, and can apply the knowledge and skills learned during their initial training effectively.

During this time, the FTO can provide mentorship, assess the cadet's performance, give immediate feedback, and ensure they are prepared for independent work in the field. This structured approach fosters a supportive learning experience, helping to reinforce the skills necessary for success in juvenile corrections roles.
