Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy

What do you think of the state of police training in Ohio? It’s good, but it can always be expanded. We need to be proactive in identifying what the future issues in policing will be.

OPOTA recently partnered with Global Robot and Drone Deployment (GRADD), a Nevada-based company, on a case study examining the benefits of using drones, lasers and 3D models to aid in crash scene reconstruction.

Phil Chalmers has interviewed over 200 teen killers and school shooters, along with numerous serial killers, mass murderers and sexual predators. The reason for these interviews is to delve into the minds of the offenders and to explore why they killed and if society could have stopped them.

Topics include the Ohio school resource officer (SRO), educating children with special needs, tools to managing behaviors surrounding crisis and mental health in the classroom, drug awareness for the SRO, legal issues for the SRO, active threat preparation and single officer response to an active threat. 

This is a mobile class that will come to your department and train all first responders, not just law enforcement. Together we will assess the capabilities of the first responders and the best way to establish a Rescue Task Force for your jurisdiction.
