APPENDIX 1
Standardized Evaluation Guidelines (SEGs)
The Standardized Evaluation Guidelines (SEGs) define the competency levels for all required performance categories
and any agency-specific requirements. The SEGs are intended to provide a fair and uniform scoring method to assess
each trainee’s progress. It is through the use of these guidelines that the field training program achieves a
recognized level of standard, competency, and credibility.
Overview
Throughout the Field Training Program, the FTO rates the trainee’s performance. Each observed behavior is rated
using the Daily Observation Report (DOR) described in Appendix 2
in the FTP Guide. The rating scales can be scored
in two ways: the Numeric Scale (1–7) or the NICS Scale (NI–Needs Improvement/C–Competent/S–Superior). The
numeric scale offers more flexibility to rate behaviors on a sliding scale between 1 and 7. The NICS scale provides
a more direct scoring method. Agencies decide which method best meets their particular training approach.
A rating of “1” or “N/I” indicates the observed behavior is Unacceptable or Needs Improvement, a rating of “4” or
“C” meets the minimal standard of Acceptable or Competent, and “7” or “S” indicates the trainee’s performance is
at a Superior level.
Any rating of “1” or “7” on the numeric scale or “N/I” or “S” on the NICS scale requires a Documented Situation
(DS) to describe the event which resulted in the observed rating. The FTO fills out the Narrative Evaluation portion of
the DOR to document the event (see Appendix 2)
.
The following SEGs correspond to the numbered observable behaviors listed in the DOR for each performance
category. Use these value definitions when rating a trainee's level of performance.
Performance Categories

for the 24-hr FTP Update Course (Block 7 – HO3).

APPENDIX

Daily Observation Report (DOR)
and Narrative Evaluation
The Daily Observation Report (DOR) and Narrative Evaluation are key components of the Field Training Program. In
combination, these forms document the trainee’s level of performance for each required category and clearly identify
areas of competency, outstanding performance, or the need for remedial training.
Numeric and NICS Rating Scales
In order to effectively track the trainee’s progress, the FTO uses the DOR to rate each observed behavior using one of
two rating scales: Numeric or NICS. The Numeric Scale measures performance on a sliding scale between 1 and 7.
The NICS Scale uses three ratings: NI–Needs Improvement, C–Competent, and S–Superior. Each observed behavior
is rated according to POST’s Standardized Evaluation Guidelines (SEGs) as described in Appendix 1
in the FTP Guide.
Agencies decide which rating method best meets their particular needs.
A rating of “1” or “N/I” indicates the observed behavior is Unacceptable or Needs Improvement, a rating of “4” or “C”
meets the minimal standard of Acceptable or Competent, and “7” or “S” indicates the trainee’s performance is at a
Superior level. The DOR also provides checkboxes if a behavior is not observed (N/O) or if the trainee is not
responding to training (NRT). The trainee, FTO, and FTO SAC are required to sign all DORs.
Narrative Evaluation
Any ratings of “1” or “7” on the numeric scale or “N/I” or “S” on the NICS scale require a documented situation (DS)
to describe the event which resulted in either of those ratings. The FTO checks the DS box on the DOR and
documents the event using the Narrative Evaluation form. The trainee, FTO, and FTO SAC are required to sign all
Narrative Evaluations.

PART A. PURPOSE
In an effort to ensure that each Field Training Officer (FTO) maintains a high level of skill, performance, and interest, this critique form is to be

by knowing the impression they have made on you, their trainee.

feedback (not your identity) will be relayed to the FTOs to assist with improving training methods.
