HOST THIS TRAINING

The OTOA does not teach one specific “Tactic.” The OTOA instructors teach “Principles.”

  • The OTOA response protocols are built around basic principles.
  • Violation of basic principles develops into poor tactics.
  • The applications of fundamental principles lead to safer tactics.

The Critical Incident Leadership for Patrol Operations is designed to prepare Patrol Officers, Deputies, Troopers, and Supervisors to assume leadership roles during critical incidents.

This training equips them to take charge before the arrival of specialized tactical units, ensuring an organized and professionally sound patrol response.

Throughout the course, students will engage in tabletop-style scenarios, identifying and solving problems associated with responding to critical incidents.

The target audience includes first-line supervisors and patrol personnel who may need to act as front-line leaders.
