Updating SWAT, SRT Leadership Skills

6/14/2017
New and current SWAT and Special Response Team leaders will benefit from Tactical Team Leader Development: a three-day course to be held at the Akron Police Department Training Bureau.
Students will review the responsibilities of a team leader during preplanned and hasty operations, and instructor Mike Yohe will lead the class in a discussion about the legal, tactical, and training issues related to law enforcement tactical operations.  Students will then plan, brief, and conduct simulated operations, rotating through various positions, so every student gets the chance to make decisions as the team leader of a tactical operation.

NOTE:  Bring note-taking materials, eye protection, long sleeves, gloves, and a copy of your agency's SWAT or SRT policy. In addition, students must have completed a basic SWAT course at Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy (OPOTA) or the Ohio Tactical Officers Association (OTOA) or an equivalent 40-hour basic SWAT course.
