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. |
