Step 5 Supervisor Summary
Step 5 Supervisor Summary Reports and Scaffold Check Rides are events that occur during step 5 of the Field Training Program. Step 5 Supervisor Summary Reports are an optional module. Your agency may or may not use Scaffold Check Rides and Step 5 Supervisor Summary Reports.
Why does our agency's Step 5 Supervisor Summary look different?
The COPFTO Step 5 Supervisor Summary is a customizable form. This article is based upon the Coaching Models default weekly summary. Your Step 5 Supervisor Summary may contain different sections of content if your agency has customized your Step 5 Supervisor Summary.
Step 5 Supervisor Performance Summaries are filled out by Supervisors and sent to Probationers for Acknowledgement.
2024 Workflow Enhancements
Until we release our workflow enhancement, expected summer 2024, Step 5 Supervisor Summaries require two approvals/signatures.
- The person filling out the summary (Supervisor or FTO)
- The probationer.
Until we release our workflow enhancement, expected December 2024, if a Step 5 Supervisor Summary is completed by a Supervisor, FTO's do not sign off on, or have any part in workflow on the Step 5 Supervisor.

Possible Advisory Warning
If the active probationer is not in Step 5, you will receive a warning advising you that that the probationer is not in step 5.
This warning is only advisory and you may still create a Step 5 Supervisor Summary.
