DAILY OBSERVATION REPORT

Refer to Annex B
The Daily Observation Report (DOR) is the

second most important document in the FTP. It has 5 Key Areas:

Appearance 1 task Attitude and Community Relations 7 tasks Punctuality and Attendance 2 tasks

Knowledge 4 tasks
Performance 19 tasks

School for Field Training and Technical Services

DOR 7 POINT SCALE RATING

The DOR uses a SEVEN (7) point scale in rating.
1 or 2 UNSATISFACTORY performance 3, 4 and 5 SATISFACTORY performance 6 or 7 EXCELLENT performance

School for Field Training and Technical Services

DOR SCALE RATING

On the right hand side are three (3) columns of

small boxes with the acronyms:

N.O. (Not Observed) The box is checked if the

task was not conducted and evaluated during the training. N.R.T. (Not Responding to Training) - This box is checked if the recruit initially acquired an unsatisfactory rating in a certain task and this was again explained and demonstrated by the FTO but still, the recruits failed to act or respond to a given situation.
School for Field Training and Technical Services 14

 R.T. (Remedial Training) The police recruit

failed for the third time on a certain skill or knowledge and that further training and re-test are required to confirm if the recruit can really do the job of a policeman or not.

2. FIRST (1ST) RE-TRAINING SESSION- FTO employs a simpler method of teaching for recruit to grasp the subject matter.
can employ mock situations, role plays or even

use multi-media. If recruit still fails on the first re-training session, recruit will get N.R.T. Rating (Not Responding to Training).
