Indiana —The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department strives to make scenario-based training for its Recruit Officers the most realistic training imaginable. Field Training Officers in the FTO Unit coach Recruit Officers and Role Play in various scenarios conducted at a former middle school and at Eagle Creek Park. Eagle Creek Park is the largest park in Indianapolis with over 3,900 acres of land.

To conduct such training, many props are needed, such as weapons, makeup, and room furnishings, as well as many other miscellaneous items that enhance the scenario’s reality. The scenario rooms include a working coffee shop, several studio apartments and living rooms, a tobacco shop, and a bar, to name a few. PFIA Agent David Roth has seen the added value of bringing realistic training to a scenario-based platform and he has been an integral part in helping the FTO Unit move forward with the best and most up-to-date training for our Recruit Officers.
