✔ Designed Specifically for Agency In-Service Training
OTOA Contract Classes support annual or periodic in-service requirements while eliminating travel time, hotels, and unnecessary time away from duty.
What This Training Covers
Contract Classes may include in-service instruction in:
- Firearms — duty pistol, carbine, fundamentals, low-light, decision-making
- Response Tactics — active threat response, movement, communication, casualty care integration
- Patrol Operations — single-officer and small-unit response, coordination, tactics
- SWAT Operations — team tactics, leadership, patrol/SWAT integration, mission-specific training
How the Program Works
Each class is developed with agency leadership and training staff to identify objectives, gaps, and desired outcomes. Based on that assessment, OTOA builds a custom in-service curriculum using proven methodologies and instructional standards.
Courses are available in one- to five-day formats and can be structured for patrol, SWAT, supervisors, or blended groups. Training is conducted at your facility or another approved location.
