Police Training Officer Certification (PTO)

Length: 4 & 5 days
Target Audience: Coaching and field training staff who provide one-on-one apprenticeship coaching, under the Police Training Officer (Reno) Program Model

The Basic PTO course will introduce the trainer to the concepts of problem-based learning, while developing their facilitation, leadership, and coaching skills. Through an active-learning approach instructor-led training will promote adult learning principles and varied individual-based training approaches designed to maximize valuable field training time, overcome training challenges, and allow the officer in training (OIT) to learn at the appropriate individual pace.   Our instructional approach will immediately engage participants with hands-on activities modeling learner-centric training.

Attendees will be exposed to the PTO program processes and systems, agency core competencies, Coaching and Training Reports/Activity Reports, Problem-Based Learning, Neighborhood Portfolios well as the application of the Learning Matrix. Activities will support problem-based learning, facilitation, self-assessment, critical-thinking, problem-solving and community policy theories supported by general coaching strategies.
