Christopher Frato has been a law enforcement officer since 2010. During his time on patrol, Christopher was primarily focused on criminal interdiction, specifically targeting narcotics trafficking and firearm-related crimes. Being routinely involved in critical incidents made him realize the importance of seeking out additional training in firearms proficiency and tactics to ensure the safety of himself and others. His drive to continuously learn helped him transition into instructor and leadership roles within his department and tactical team. As an instructor, Christopher is dedicated to providing training that arms officers with the relevant skills needed to excel and return home safe. His ability to perform and teach eventually led to him becoming a member of the OTOA RED Team.
