Training is paramount in the viewpoint of Captain Bunger, as he has always been a proponent of a solid foundation for police officers just beginning their journey in the profession. Bunger has served as a Field Training Officer, as well as a Field Training Manager, during his time with IUPD-Bloomington. He has also been a member of the National Association of Field Training Officers, serving as president of this organization and as an at-large board member.
“You need more than intellectual awareness and bodily strength to be fully equipped to engage in the duties of a police officer. Ample training in all phases of community involvement is essential for officers to do an effective job,” he said.
Bunger hopes to instill the importance of training with his current officers and to encourage them to become actively involved in the recruitment and training of future IUPD officers as the department continues to grow.
