New Field Training Officers

February 13, 2024

It’s not a pre-service graduation; this is our incredible team of new field training officers (FTOs) who recently completed training.

FTOs are a special role within NDCS and an essential link in preparing new teammates to be capable and confident in their positions. After graduating from pre-service training at the Staff Training Academy, new teammates are paired with FTOs at each facility, who walk alongside them as they learn the facility and its posts.

We’re thrilled to have this team eager to step into the lives of our people and create a smooth transition to NDCS. #PeopleRead more
