Additional Information
Hosting an Exportable FRDE
As a convenience to the law enforcement community, TOD (Technical Operations Division) can export the FRDE Training Program to an appropriate training site. For organizations who desire training for a number of officers, this may be a desirable alternative to detailing their officers to the Glynco program. If you would like to consider hosting the FRDE at your venue, consider the following.
- A classroom with Internet connectivity is required for the export program. (TOD will provide laptop computers)
- For additional information, contact Program Coordinator.
