Course Overview:
The Basic Instructor / Train-the-Trainer program is an intensive 5-day professional development course designed for public safety personnel who are ready to assume the critical role of an instructor within their organizations. This program provides a foundational understanding of instructional methods grounded in the principles of adult learning and skill development, preparing students to become effective and influential trainers. Participants will be challenged to not only master the material but also to transform into dynamic trainers/coaches capable of building the skill sets of public safety professionals.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this program, students will be able to:
- Apply the fundamental principles of adult learning theory to instructional design and delivery.
- Master advanced communication techniques to command an audience and convey complex topics with clarity. Utilize effective coaching language and methodology to bring critical skill development.
- Develop, evaluate, and present comprehensive lesson plans, objectives, and effective testing strategies.
- Prepare and proficiently use various training aids to enhance the learning experience.
- Construct and deliver multiple presentations (lecture and physical presentations), demonstrating instructional mastery and the ability to engage a discerning adult audience.
Program Methodology:
This is a highly interactive and practical course that emphasizes presentation and coaching skills. Our curriculum is built on andragogical principles, recognizing that adult learners are self-directed, pragmatic, and draw heavily on their previous experiences. The program methodology includes:
- Application-based learning: Students will immediately apply classroom theory to practical exercises, developing several presentations throughout the week.
- Individual and peer feedback: A substantial portion of the program is dedicated to constructive critique, both from instructors and peers, to refine presentation and teaching skills.
- Rigorous final presentation: The course culminates in a final 30-minute presentation, where students will showcase their instructional competencies by drafting objectives, presenting a lesson plan, and teaching a public safety-related topic to the class using training aids. This capstone exercise is an authentic assessment of the skills and knowledge acquired.
Commitment and Expectations:
This is an intense program that demands significant commitment. Attendees should expect to invest time outside of scheduled classroom hours for preparation and refinement of their presentations. This rigorous approach ensures that each participant leaves with the confidence and competence required to train with excellence.
Certifications:
Successful completion of this course satisfies the instructor certification training requirements for either the Police Training & Standards Commission or the Correctional Training Commission.
Who Should Attend:
-This program is ideal for experienced public safety personnel who have demonstrated subject matter mastery and possess the potential to become effective instructors within their agencies.
- MPCTC Instructor Certification is only required for those individuals who will be teaching more than 3 hours in any one MPCTC approved training program. An individual who provides 3 hours or less of instruction for a Commission-approved training course is exempt from the requirement to have instructor certification required under COMAR. Additional conditions and details on obtaining full Instructor Certification as required by MPCTC can be found here: mpctc.dpscs.maryland.gov/approval.htm
- All applicants for the MPCTC Basic Instructor Training Program must receive approval from their home agency in order to register for this training (online registration implies approval). Students wishing to attend the course outside of authorization from their agency will not be permitted.
Enrollment Requirements:
Justification: For each enrollee, the agency head or training coordinator must submit an email to Katie.Johnson@maryland.gov providing a 2-3 sentence description of why the student requires the training. Justification should include where the student will be teaching (academy or in-service) and how many hours per program.

DPSCS Implicit Bias Awareness - Fair & Impartial Corrections (Supervisory Staff) Reserved for Supervisory Staff to include Lieutenants, Case Management Supervisors, DPP Field Supervisor Is, Monitor Supervisor Is, Civilian/Non-uniformed staff Supervisors. NOTE Anyone who manages supervisors can NOT attend this class and should enroll in the Administrator level course as available. This training on Implicit Bias applies decades of research on human bias to the decisions that both Institutional and Community Correctional Professionals make every day. This is a course about how your mind works. There will be no finger pointing or blame; instead we will discuss how implicit biases can affect well-intentioned individuals outside their conscious awareness. During the class, we will discuss the negative consequences of letting your ‘hidden biases’ impact your perceptions and behavior and, importantly, you will learn the skills that you can implement to reduce and manage your biases. These skills will not keep you from doing the important functions of your job; instead these skills will enhance your ability to engage in that work and make decisions that are more effective and just. Because this class has been customized for DPSCS, we will also discuss with First Line Supervisors what they will need to do besides managing their own biases, to promote bias-free decisions within your agency. Please note that each of the various program dates has an affiliated level of students for the session. Rank/title is a REQUIRED FIELD when enrolling. Students assigned to an institution must contact their institutional training coordinator to attend. This applies for any and all ranks assigned to an institution. ITCs can enroll by logging into training.mdle.net. For those individuals not assigned to an institution (i.e. Office of the Secretary), please submit the DPSCS Non-Institution Bias Registration Form to request enrollment. This program is posted for DPSCS staff only. Other agencies are not permitted to attend at this time. We are aware that courses filled up very quickly. Submitting your information on the Waitlist Form will ensure you're alerted when additional dates are confirmed, though notices will continue to be sent as classes are posted.

Approval Code: P50830
This half-day training encompasses refresher training in vehicle operation and everyday hazards of emergency/non emergency driving. Students will utilize the training simulator technology along with a classroom portion highlighting defensive driving and dangerous expectations. *Warning: Risk of Simulator Sickness* Driving simulators provide a realistic visual experience of driving. However, some users may experience symptoms similar to car or motion sickness, including nausea, dizziness, fatigue, disorientation, or eye strain. This occurs due to sensory conflict: your eyes perceive motion from the screen, but your inner ear and body do not feel the corresponding movement. Some individuals may be more susceptible to these effects than others. While the instructors will take precautions including short sessions and frequent breaks, students who easily experience motion sickness should take this warning into consideration before enrolling.

The transition from the police academy to the “real” world is a critical step in the development of law enforcement officers. The field training program is the essential link in that officer development. Field Training Program options include the traditional San Jose model; the problem solving oriented Police Training Officer Reno model; and the Proficiency field training model. The Field Training and Evaluation Program does not advocate any particular model. Instead it incorporates the best of all models in a manner that is realistic and applicable to the current environment. This program will highlight the concepts and philosophies that emphasize the “training” role of an FTO. It is the goal of this program to inform students of the skills, knowledge and abilities that are needed to become an FTO. Initially, the program examines the roles of the field training officer – specifically, the fact that the field training officer functions as the “supervisor” of a field trainee. The program also focuses on the fact that an FTO needs to possess and demonstrate skills in leadership and delegation. Additional components of the program instruct to the following: • Fundamentals of effective communication; • Counseling; • The various roles of an FTO, including the FTO as a trainer; • Challenges facing the FTO; • Training liability and legal issues; • COMAR Field Training Requirements • Ethics and Integrity • Adult Learning • Emotional Intelligence • Diversity and Generational Differences The program is a combination of classroom instructor and practical application. During the daily practical applications, students will • Apply leadership traits and principles to an FTEP Program / training situation; • Introduce trainee to FTEP expectations and standards; • Rehearse counseling skills; • Prepare a remedial training plan for a specific problem; and, • Review evaluation instruments. Agencies holding a TBD seat must update the information one month ahead. Thank you! Note: If a training coordinator wishes to place a student on the waitlist, please complete the FTO Program Waitlist Request Form.

DPSCS Implicit Bias Awareness - Fair & Impartial Corrections (Front Line Staff) Reserved for Front Line Staff to include Sergeants, Corporals, Agents, Monitors, Civilian/Non-uniformed staff and any other comparable ranks/titles who are in a non-supervisory role. This training on Implicit Bias applies decades of research on human bias to the decisions that both Institutional and Community Correctional Professionals make every day. This is a course about how your mind works. There will be no finger pointing or blame; instead we will discuss how implicit biases can affect well-intentioned individuals outside their conscious awareness. During the class, we will discuss the negative consequences of letting your ‘hidden biases’ impact your perceptions and behavior and, importantly, you will learn the skills that you can implement to reduce and manage your biases. These skills will not keep you from doing the important functions of your job; instead these skills will enhance your ability to engage in that work and make decisions that are more effective and just. Because this class has been customized for DPSCS, we will also discuss with First Line Supervisors what they will need to do besides managing their own biases, to promote bias-free decisions within your agency. Please note that each of the various program dates has an affiliated level of students for the session. Rank/title is a REQUIRED FIELD when enrolling. Students assigned to an institution must contact their institutional training coordinator to attend. This applies for any and all ranks assigned to an institution. ITCs can enroll by logging into training.mdle.net. For those individuals not assigned to an institution (i.e. Office of the Secretary), please submit the DPSCS Non-Institution Bias Registration Form to request enrollment. This program is posted for DPSCS staff only. Other agencies are not permitted to attend at this time. We are aware that courses fill up very quickly. Submitting your information on the Waitlist Form will ensure you're alerted when additional dates are confirmed, though notices will continue to be sent as classes are posted.
