PREREQUISITES: None TRAINING TYPES; Peace Officer/Trooper; Other Law Enforcement SPECIAL NEEDS/EQUIPTMENT: None The Attorney General’s Office and OPOTA are launching the next technological evolution in peace officer training with virtual reality (VR) training. VR training allows officers to practice responding to and defusing potentially volatile scenarios by using soft skills and crisis-management techniques. It gives peace officers the feel of real-life trauma, distractions, reactions and more. Currently there are six VR scenarios available – each lasting eight to 12 minutes – that alone serve as training and may also be integrated into dozens of longer courses. The scenario topics cover mental health, domestic violence, school violence, the teen brain, suicide prevention, and irate families. This 16-hour course will certify instructors to lead student peace officers through the virtual reality training. Once certified, the instructors will be given access to the VR goggles and lesson plans to instruct the VR lessons. Once the VR training is completed, the VR goggles and necessary materials are available at no cost for loan from one of our conveniently located regional partners and academies around the state.

For years officers have been collecting Witness, Victim and Suspect statements, as a matter of routine, and often fail to recognize the importance of what the writer is really conveying or purposely omitting. Through the Statement Analysis process, officers and investigators can gain insight that will prove invaluable in the interview/interrogation phase of the investigation. By analyzing the deliberate words people use, paying attention to the balance of the statement, the strength of their insinuations and a number of other critical factors, the Statement Analysis process will guide our investigators through a deliberate course of questioning. Statement Analysis will change the way our officers and investigators process criminal investigations and will unquestionably lead to a higher clearance and solve rate.

***This is not an OPOTA course.*** All registrations and payments are done directly at their website. For registration and information: https://c4cpjj.com/course/c4c-police-jiu-jitsu-level-one-oh-dec24/ A “game plan” or course curriculum comes with each level that can be used as the department’s exact defensive tactics (DT) curriculum or supplement a department’s current DT curriculum. C4CPJJ Level 1 includes a bonus foundation level for officers without experience in DT or combatives. This foundational level material is perfect for an academy setting, for officers in an FTO position, or for police departments who do not have a current control/grappling curriculum and wish to transition to this type of training. C4CPJJ is a complete DT system based on the LEO’s reasonable outcomes of control and then custody. The foundation level sets the foundation, and level one allows officers to progress over time, realizing growth in their personal ability within the DT program. As officers continue to improve and grow, they will develop increased confidence, capability, control, and compassion for subjects they may have to use force on. It is NOT a simple BJJ lesson plan called “LEO” Training.”

This is a vendor-neutral course that offers concepts and guidelines for initial and in-service training. Topics include: Reasonable use of force considerations, deployment tactics, arrest and control, surviving an aerosol assault, medical considerations, de-contamination procedures, and scenario development.

PREREQUISITES: All students should have operator level knowledge of chemical aerosol units. This is a physical course and the students must be fit for duty. Direct contamination is recommended for first time instructors but NOT mandatory.

COMMENTS: THIS CLASS IS GRANT FUNDED AND FREE TO OHIO OFFICERS. STUDENTS OUTSIDE OF OHIO WILL BE CHARGED THE NORMAL COURSE TUITION ($1,150.00) This 40-hour Traffic Collision Investigation course will instruct officers on topics including measuring, photographing, recording evidence at crash scenes, and diagramming the scene to scale. Upon completion, officers will be able to analyze a collision and determine what happened before, during, and after the collision. Officers will be instructed on advanced techniques for application of mathematical principles and equations to determine vehicle speeds from tire marks, the use of traffic templates, driver and witness interviews, human factors, evidence from vehicles and the roadway, field sketches, measuring, diagramming, photography, and preparing their case for court. Officers should be familiar with Ohio crash reporting forms and procedures before attending this course. Officers will need a calculator with square root function and will participate in outside exercises.

It is also recommended that officers bring a three-ring binder for handouts. COMMENTS: ***This course is funded through an OTSO/NHTSA grant and is free for Ohio Law Enforcement Officers only. Out-of-state officers should contact OPOTA for more information. This 80 – hour course builds on the concepts learned in Traffic Collision Investigation (Level I). Instruction will include advanced techniques in acceleration/deceleration, vehicle behavior, and analysis of vehicle lamps and safety systems. Students will learn mathematical formulas to determine velocity, airborne, time, distance, center of mass, kinetic energy and collinear momentum. Students will need a calculator with square root function, sine/co-sine, and parentheses and will participate in outside exercises.
