The Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission and the Attorney General are pleased to announce
that a number of additional, free regional training opportunities will be available at several
venues in 2011. These training sessions will include courses on Intelligence Led Policing,
Prescription Drug Diversion Awareness and Investigations, Civil Liability and Use of Force,
Officer Safety, Hate Crimes, and Criminal Procedure.
The following courses have already been added in the upcoming months:
More information concerning these courses and registration forms and instructions can be
found at www.ohioattorneygeneral.gov.
OPOTA also will continue to develop and post new eOPOTA courses on the Ohio Law
Enforcement Gateway. These include recent postings on Biological Evidence Collection and
Retention, Senate Bill 77, Deescalating Special Populations, and OVI Update. All eOPOTA
courses are designed to allow local peace officers to work at their own pace and are offered free
of charge.
A review of the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy (OPOTA) budget unfortunately reflects
that due to the state’s significant budgetary challenges, there are insufficient funds available for
CPT reimbursement in 2011.
Please feel free to contact me to discuss your specific local need. OPOTA is committed to
providing the highest quality courses efficiently and effectively to ensure that our local officers
are prepared for the challenges faced daily. I look forward to our continued partnership in
serving Ohio.
Sincerely,
Robert Fiatal
Executive Director
Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission
