We also acquired three new police vehicles for our PVO program as well as a number of “new to OPC” gently used police vehicles from our partners to enhance the recruit driver training experience. During the spring of 2014 2014 we held a series of focus groups with risk managers, new recruits, juniorr ocers junio ocers and front front-line -line supe supervisors rvisors who who provided provided us with with tremen tremendous dous feed feedback back which will enable us to continue to assess and improve our training. Our commitment, commitment, after af ter listening to you, is to respond with evidence-based training that will assist your organizations to better meet the demands requiring requiring competent police ocers in the t he future. Finally, we are moving quickly to re-write our relationship with your trainers to enable them to deliver the most current and OPC defensible materials to your members based on your demands, at or close to your jurisdiction. This will result in more ecient training opportunities backstopped by our subject matter experts expert s and competently trained instructional sta st a resident in dierent police services around the province.

Criminal Investigation Progression Chart g n i n i a r T n o i t a g i t s e v n I l a n i m i r C

HISTORY The progressive training model provides senior police management a recommended road map for training and succession planning that begins with the General Investigation Training Course (GIT).

The model recognizes that GIT is the foundation for training in criminal investigation work. With GIT as a foundation, ocers would be expected to steadily progress through the courses in the model as their experience dictates.

The OPC encourages police managers to consider this progressive training model for criminal investigators as they forecast training needs within criminal investigation units of their police services.

Transformation and Distance Learning TRANSFORMATION

DISTANCE LEARNING

In August 2009, a high-level review of the Ontario Police College (OPC) was commenced. The focus was on ve key program areas:

On-line learning is an innovative approach that allows a learner to work at his or her own pace and according to his or her own schedule. Accessible from any internet-connected computer, on-line learning signicantly streamlines the time required to complete training while providing consistent up-to-date information.

1 2 3 4 5

alternate funding; program delivery; infrastructure; partnership opportunities; management stang.

An advisory committee was formed consisting of senior ocials from the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services, the OPP, municipal police services, and the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police. After an extensive review of the program areas, there was an identied need for change. Factors that supported that need were the technological sophistication of learners improved internet access, the movements of training towards on-line learning and improved access and aordability for students. Distance learning also provides a business model that can support the growing demand for job-specic training without signicant increases in infrastructure costs and it provides alternate ways of delivering training. At the time of the review, the only means of delivering training: were on-site at OPC, o-site police service training by OPC instructor, police service delivered OPC training, and general e-learning oered through the Canadian Police Knowledge Network geared to a national audience. New opportunities could focus on delivering some training through the use of technology such as synchronous, asynchronous, and stand-alone computer-based training. In support of this, numerous partnerships are being pursued and agreements forged to help build capacity in an on-line environment. Courses focusing on tactical communication, physical control, baton, handcung, excited delirium, domestic violence risk management , rearms, crime prevention, and others are being developed.

With the acquisition of on-line capability OPC, will expand the distance learning opportunities currently available to police services and other partner organizations. Installation of wireless internet throughout OPC was completed in October 2011. WiFi allows students t o connect to the internet and complete on-line learning anywhere within the main OPC building including classrooms, the common area in the residences, and the ocer safety area.

In 2014, the following blended courses will also be available for enrollment at OPC; Facilitating Adult Police Learning, Front Line Supervisor and LEADER 2.0. Other courses are oered through onlin e delivery are: • Excited Delirium; • Firearms Nomenclature (Glock, SigSauer or Smith & Wesson – M&P); • Tactical Communications; • Physical Skills; • Handcung; • Baton. OPC has had a collaborative partnership with the Canadian Police Knowledge Network (CPKN) since 2005 and several courses are currently available to police services using a range of multimedia applications including interactive tutorials, animations, and graphics. This partnership will continue. Some of the courses developed with CPKN are stand alone, while others require a blending of on-line and in-class lessons. To date, these courses include:

• • • • • • •

Aboriginal Awareness; Advanced Patrol Training; Front Line Supervisor; General Investigation Training; Suspect Apprehension Pursuits; Diversity; and Coach Ocer.

OPCVA - Online Courses BATON

HANDCUFF

The baton is a weapon that is most eective when used at medium to close range as a result the risk of injury to the individual using the baton and others in close proximity increases. The baton is an intermediate weapon within the Use of Force Model and it can be used to overcome resistance in situations where given the totality of the circumstances, physical control skills are impractical, unlikely to be s uccessful in establishing control, or not prudent or likely to achieve the goal of disengaging from the subject. This training will assist law enforcement personnel in the competent handling of a baton.

Handcus are generally placed on a subject who is being held in custody in order to ensure the safety of the enforcement ocer as well as the subject and any others who may come in contact with the subject. Handcus are also used to mitigate the risk of escape by the subject. The need to use handcus on a subject depends on the totality of the situation.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE RISK MANAGEMENT The Domestic Violence Risk Management (DVRM) Report e-learning training and DVRM Ocer Guide provide detailed information on the Domestic Violence Risk Management Report (DVRMR), and how it should be used as a tool to assist police ocers, supervisors, and Crowns in managing domestic violence investigations and identifying risk factors that may exist in a domestic violence case. This e-learning course is designed to give you an overview of the DVRM Report with focus on the risk factors sections. It is not a substitute for the Domestic Violence Risk Management (DVRM) Report Ocer Guide. Participants are strongly encouraged to read the guide in its entirety prior to completing this course.

SERVICE PISTOL FAMILIARIZATION COURSE This course is designed to increase familiarity with service pistols for both novice and seasoned law enforcement professionals. For experienced enforcement personnel this course will serve as a refresher in preparation for range training and as a skills enhancement. For novice personnel, this training will provide clear guidance in the areas of: rearms nomenclature, range safety and the safe operation of a rearm. The following models are available for completion in this eLearning module: Glock, M&P SIG SAUER. This training supports but does not replace hands on eld training with rearms.

PHYSICAL SKILLS This training on Physical Control addresses the skills that are required to control a resistive person who refuses to comply with verbal requests. The methods used to gain control of a subject who refuses to comply will be determined by the totality of the situation. Often control can be gained through verbal communications, when it can’t physical control is an option on the range of control measures on the Use of Force Model. Physical control can be gained using soft and hard physical control tactics.

TACTICAL COMMUNICATION This training on Tactical Communication module teaches the basic concepts and techniques related to tactical communication or the principles of communication used by law enforcement. The ideas, beliefs, and values that guide the manner in which we communicate and interact with others will be examined. Understanding these factors will allow the learner to be purposeful or Tactical in their communication both personally and professionally.
