Breakout & Agency Specific Training
What is
"breakout" or "agency specific" training?
After completing a Basic Recruit Curriculum
academy, those hired by FWC begin additional training of
approximately eight weeks involving agency specific topics.
For instance, fish & wildlife conservation laws, vessel
accident investigations, vessel handling, ATV training, and
man-tracking, are just some of the topics to be covered.

Is
there a graduation ceremony for family and/or friends to
attend?
Yes. At the end of the breakout training a
family day is held where recruit-officers present performance
demonstrations, facility tours and equipment displays.
Afterwards, a formal graduation ceremony is held where the Oath of
Office is given and badges are presented.

What happens after the agency specific
training and graduation is completed?
The Officer then reports to their assigned location
to begin up to 16 weeks Field Training Officer (FTO) program.
This program places the new Officer with an experienced trainer
that continues the training process to ensure the new Officer is
learning the details of the job.

What kind of transportation will
I likely be assigned once I have completed all my
training?
That depends on where you are stationed and what
your particular duties are. FWC has a wide range of motor
vehicles, water craft and utility vehicles. Did we mention
our big boat fleet and the Aviation Unit?
