Refresher Training

On October 15, 2009, the Ohio Peace Officer Training Commission announced that effective January 1,
2010 the Refresher Course that is required of officers who have a break in service has been reduced
from 80 hours to 16 hours.  

We have scheduled our first Refresher course for January 4th & 5th.

We will be able to offer this 16 hour course as soon as we have two or more officers signed up for it.  
We will work with those who sign up to determine if it would be held for four 4 hour sessions or two 8
hour sessions.

Up-Date Training

Up-Date Training is occasional required for all officers or for officers who have had a break in service
such as changing departments. Usually this training is done by assigning the officer to a scheduled
class in the basic training class. Those Officers/Departments should contact the Certification and
Standards Division of the Ohio Peace Officer Training Academy. They will receive a “Letter of
Determination” which is required to be submitted when enrolling for this course.  Officers who desire
may also write a “Preemptive Letter” to the School Commander and request permission to take special
classes with the basic classes.
