5.10 Force Training Officer
9 posts
Staff of this grade are responsible for the organisation, evaluation and development of training for all disciplined ranks in the Police Force. They are thus closely integrated into the Force training and command systems. At present the Senior Force Training Officers are ranked equivalent to Senior Superintendents and the Force Training Officers to Superintendents. We consider this equivalent status is correct and recommend that the ranks should be converted to the appropriate disciplined levels.
