This course teaches Police Training Officers (PTO’s) to train new recruits utilizing a Problem-based Learning model. 

Those attending will learn how to train the new recruits, incorporating contemporary adult education methods and problem-solving approaches. Traditional duties of policing are still emphasized, but with a variety of methods requiring the recruit to invest in learning the job in more meaningful ways.  This approach results in confident, competent personnel who have flexible and adaptable knowledge and problem-solving skills.  PTO’s challenge recruits to think creatively and are encouraged to use community resources to respond to crime or maintain order in the community.
