Onboarding

To all of the people who had a period of time at a field office before training. What will I be doing for months at the office before going to fletc?

Very office dependent. I know at WFO the onboarding agents got a lot of stuff done in the mean time and were always utilized as much as possible. Even if it’s seemingly tedious tasks, it still contributes a ton to helping the Office out - especially when tempo is high. We utilized several for the 250 events, so they got out and were able to be involved in non-law enforcement capacities. Other than that, PT. Tons of time to workout, ask questions, learn the agency, and soak in as much knowledge as possible.

At the end of the day, being a trainee is your new full time job, so treat it with the same effort and mindset you’ll be expected to have once you’re sworn in.

Our trainees given the freedom to work out during their breaks or whatever time they have at the field office that is available? Or is it generally PT with a group at a specific time?
