This training standard outlines a 40-hour course for Police Training Officers (PTOs). It teaches them how to help their trainees apply policing and problem-solving skills in a 15-week post-academy training program. The PTO model is specifically designed for agencies engaged in the community-oriented policing and problem solving (COPPS) service delivery method. At each stage of the PTO model, the trainer and trainee apply problem solving to their job tasks.
During the PTO course, students will do the following:
- Engage in adult learning techniques. Trainees apply the PTO manual to their training within the PBL context: cooperative learning, group work, scenario-based exercises, and lecture formats.
- Study the Learning Matrix cells within the PTO model and alter them, when appropriate, to meet local agency needs.
- Engage in problem-based learning as a method to organize their study of both the matrix and the program’s evaluation models.
- Incorporate research on new education movements into their training plans, including research on PBL.
- Develop resources for Learning Activity Packages.
- Practice using evaluation methods and forms during scenario and PBL training.
- Employ current technology, including the Internet and automated computerized systems.
- Teach classmates relevant information on emotional intelligence, multiple intelligence, and conflict resolution for use in their training program.
- Design, create and/or review Learning Matrix binders.
- Evaluate this training course.
