FTO problems
I’m on my first phase of FTO for my department and prior to starting FTO we were told constantly that we might not always get an FTO that’s good or agree with. But man, I didn’t think it could be this bad. My FTO does not teach me whatsoever, he just sits on the passenger seat of the squad playing on his phone pretty much the whole shift. He also goes to barely any calls therefore I’m not getting the same reps my peers get. Today on a way to a call prior to arriving he said, “park close to the address and do not arrive so I can finish my game”. I was shocked as I sat waiting for 10 minutes to arrive to the call which was a a few blocks away. As well as this, after being done with some calls he won’t let me clear it and sometimes we stay on the same call for about an hour until we clear it to move onto another one. He also rushes through things with little to no explaining on how to do things. I know I just have to suck it up and push through as it is only my first phase, I’m just glad this is happening now and not later on FTO otherwise I wouldn’t know what could happen.
Have you guys had any experiences with bad FTO’s? And how did u guys get through that phase positively?
