CCPD Purchases New Software for Field Training

The Culver City Police Department last week purchased the Law Enforcement Field Training Applications (L.E.F.T.A.) system’s web-based software, which is designed to document the field training of new recruits without causing extra work for the Field Training Officer.  

According to a press release from L.E.F.T.A. “Police agencies throughout the country are using software to write offense reports, crash reports and even have modern crime analysis programs that dictate manpower distribution.  Unfortunately, the same agencies still use antiquated paper methods to document their training of recruits.  During the field training process, several hundred pages of documentation accumulate per recruit. This training documentation has to be printed, signed, sorted, scanned, filed and stored up to thirty years or more after the employee has left the agency.”

The new software is being hailed as a way to enhance CCPD’s FTO program by reducing paperwork, increasing training time and saving money.

CCPD Sgt. Ron Iizuka told Patch that the software was purchased for approximately $5,000 and will be implemented shortly.
