DESCRIPTION:Communications Training Officer (CTO) Program\n\n09/29/26 08:00 AM EST\n - 10/02/26 05:00 PM EST\Description:\nSNC approved MNA2025-5356; $995 per person\n \nMACNLOW Associates and The Cardinal Group 2 have partnered to create a Communication Training Officer (CTO) Program featuring four days of comprehensive training designed to equip new and established CTOs with the essential knowledge, skills, and strategies to excel in their roles. This program is adaptable and can be integrated with various CTO program designs. Throughout this program, we will delve into the multifaceted aspects of a CTO's responsibilities, covering multiple topics tailored to your professional development.\n\nWell-qualified Communication Training Officers are vital to the success of any PSAP by providing the knowledge and skills to train effectively and mentor recruits in the high-pressure environment of a 911 communications center. Recognizing that effective training is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor, this program emphasizes the importance of accommodating diverse learning styles to create an inclusive and engaging learning environment where all learners can thrive. We emphasize core components of effective coaching, including individualized support, skill enhancement, confidence building, problem-solving encouragement, fostering a growth mindset, and much more.\n\nThe success of 911 operations starts and ends with the people who work in the dispatch center. Our course delves deep into all aspects of a CTO and CTO program and breaks down the evaluation process into key components, including duties, tasks, and behavioral indicators. We highlight the importance of clear and measurable criteria in the evaluation process, advocating for the use of rubrics to promote consistency and fairness; explore the impact of expectations on both positive and negative trainee performance and emphasize the need for CTOs to set realistic and achievable standards. Upon completion of the CTO program, course participants should have a deeper understanding of the evaluation process, its potential pitfalls, and strategies for conducting fair, objective, and constructive assessments of trainee performance, ultimately leading to better training and retention of employees and improving the overall operations of a PSAP.\Location:\nKalamazoo County Consolidated Dispatch\n7040 Stadium Drive\nKalamazoo, MI 49009
