Glenn F. Kaminsky served a member of the Boulder, Colorado, Police Department from 1981 until his retirement in April, 1993. While a member of that agency, he was the Division Chief of both Patrol and Detective Divisions. He also served as the acting Chief of Police.

Prior to that, Kaminsky served the San Jose, California Police Department from 1956 until his recruitment to Boulder. Kaminsky left San Jose as a Lieutenant, having served in the Bureaus of Field Operations, Administration, and Investigations.

One of the many highlights of his career has to do with his participation in the development of what has become known as the "San Jose Model - Field Training and Evaluation Program."

This concept, also known as the Field Training Officer (FTO) Program, has become the national model for the training of newly appointed law enforcement personnel, not only for the street officer, but for other dimensions as well.

Since 1975, Kaminsky worked with members of more than one thousand Criminal Justice organizations in their efforts to implement the Field Training and Evaluation Program concept. The model, first developed for the municipal agency patrol officer, has been adapted to corrections, communications, fish & wildlife, park rangers, court and campus security, transit authorities, probation and parole, and other related private and public sector functions. He is a recognized expert in the areas of training, evaluation, and supervision/management skills!

Glenn is known for his representative skills. He has appeared on radio and television. Additionally, he is an accomplished author and is in demand as a public speaker. In 2002, Prentice Hall Publishing published Glenn's book The Field Training Concept in Criminal Justice Agencies.

He holds a Masters' Degree in the Administration of Justice (with duel emphasis on Public Administration and Instructional Development) and a Bachelor's Degree in Police Science.

He is a member and/or director in numerous Criminal Justice organizations including the International Association of Chiefs of Police, International Association of Women Police Officers, California Association of Police Training Officers, California Association of Criminal Justice Educators, and American Society of Law Enforcement Trainers. Glenn is the former Executive Director of the National Association of Field Training Officers. In 2002 he was the second-only person to receive the "Lifetime Achievement" award form the American Society for Law Enforcement Trainers (ASLET).

A former partner in Roberts, Kaminsky & Associates, he is now the sole owner of Kaminsky & Associates, Inc., a training and consulting firm that offers a variety of services to criminal justice organizations.
