Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy

Have you successfully completed the 80-hour O.P.O.T.A. Instructional Skills course? Or do you currently hold an Instructor Certification through the Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission? Are you interested in teaching cadets in an academy setting? If so, you may qualify to take the Community Diversity & Procedural Justice Instructor course.

This challenging two-day course prepares certified instructors to teach Unit # 1, Topic # 4 of the Ohio Peace Officer Basic Training Curriculum. Throughout the class, student instructors will be challenged to learn to teach all aspects of the curriculum, from understanding the relationships between implicit biases, to procedural justice tactics, to achieving police legitimacy in culturally diverse communities. Students will also be required to prepare a presentation based on the lesson plan, create a PowerPoint, and demonstrate student-centered learning techniques during a timed, graded presentation.

Between the first and second days of the class, homework will be assigned, and students will need to bring a laptop computer which supports MS Word, PowerPoint, and a memory stick.

If you’re up to this challenge, we hope to see you at one of the five remaining Community Diversity & Procedural Justice Instructor classes, conveniently scheduled at both our London and Richfield campuses.
