Letter from the Director

I am pleased to be introducing the 2015 Ontario Police College Course
Calendar. The past year has been quite busy. The Ministry of Community
Safety and Correctional Services appointed former Chief of the Waterloo
Regional Police Service, Matt Torigian as the Deputy Minister of Community
Safety and Ms. Denise Dwyer as the Assistant Deputy Minister responsible for
the Public Safety Training Division. Both have visited the College on a number of
occasions and been favourably impressed with the work being done by our
dedicated staff in all aspects of our operations.
Staff at the Ontario Police College continue to focus on providing the best recruit training available.
Our dynamic simulation area has received an extensive retro-fit to accommodate overhead
cameras and high definition viewing screens to allow recruits to observe their involvement in
scenarios and benefit from peer and instructor feedback. 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 we held a series of focus groups with risk managers, new recruits,
junior officers and front-line supervisors who provided us with tremendous feedback which will
enable us to continue to assess and improve our training. Our commitment, after listening to you,
is to respond with evidence-based training that will assist your organizations to better meet the
demands requiring competent police officers in the 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 efficient training opportunities backstopped
by our subject matter experts and competently trained instructional staff resident in different
police services around the province.
I am personally committed to this type of collaboration with our stakeholders, students and staff
to ensure that the Ontario Police College continues to be the most respected provider of police
training. Thank you for your support.
Kind regards,
Bruce K. Herridge, O.O.M., BA, MBA
Director

Criminal Investigation Progression Chart

HISTORY
The model recognizes that GIT is the foundation for training

in criminal investigation work. With GIT as a foundation,
officers would be expected to steadily progress through the
courses in the model as their experience dictates.
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 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.

Transformationand
Distance Learning
Transformation
In August 2009, a high-level review of the Ontario

Police College (OPC) was commenced. The focus was on
five key program areas:
1
2
3
4
5
alternate funding;
program delivery;
infrastructure;
partnership opportunities;
management staffing.
An advisory committee was formed consisting of senior

officials 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
identified 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
affordability for students. Distance learning also provides
a business model that can support the growing demand
for job-specific training without significant 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, off-site police service training
by OPC instructor, police service delivered OPC training,
and general e-learning offered 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,
handcuffing, excited delirium, domestic violence
risk management, firearms, crime prevention, and
others are being developed.
Distance Learning
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 significantly
streamlines the time required to complete training while
providing consistent up-to-date information.
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 to
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
officer 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 offered through online delivery are:
Excited Delirium;
Firearms Nomenclature
(Glock, SigSauer or Smith & Wesson M&P);
Tactical Communications;
Physical Skills;
Handcuffing;
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 Officer.
For further information on CPKN and the courses offered,

please refer to their web-site at www.cpkn.

OPCVA - Online Courses

BAton
Handcuff
The baton is a weapon that is most effective 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 successful
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.
Handcuffs are generally placed on a subject who is being held

in custody in order to ensure the safety of the enforcement
officer as well as the subject and any others who may come in
contact with the subject. Handcuffs are also used to mitigate
the risk of escape by the subject. The need to use handcuffs 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 Officer Guide provide detailed
information on the Domestic Violence Risk Management
Report (DVRMR), and how it should be used as a tool to assist
police officers, 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 Officer 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: firearms
nomenclature, range safety and the safe operation of a
firearm. 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 field training with
firearms.
74
www.ontario.ca/opc
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 cant 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.

The Leadership Development Unit offers a series of leadership training
programs designed to educate and support police leaders as they
progress through the management structure of their organization.
OPC will continue to engage key stakeholders to identify leadership
trends, priority training topics, and delivery methods to continue
to meet the needs of our clients. There will be a variety of opportunities
for the broader law enforcement community to provide input and
advice on leadership course offerings delivered by OPC.
OPC will leverage its distance learning capacity and offer blended
learning opportunities (on-line, in-class, pre- course assignments)
for leadership course offerings.
With the success of the Blended Front Line Supervisor course, the
LEADER course is being redesigned into a blended format that will
expand the number of topics covered, increase rigor to the course
and allow for a more self-directed approach to learning.
This new course will be known as LEADER 2.0.

Gaining Commitment and Getting Results
No police service will ever achieve significant success in
crime prevention, law enforcement, assistance to victims
of crime, public order maintenance and emergency
response without outstanding leadership. Outstanding
leadership will never result from copycat leadership.
Outstanding leadership requires authentic connection
and presence. Authentic connection and presence
develop from the ability to be attentive to the
environment and resonant with others rather than
dissonant or reactive to perceived threats.
Upon completion, participants will understand how to

integrate who we are, and how we live with what we do,
to enliven the desire for teamwork, magnify the capacity
to achieve results and deepen satisfaction.
This program is designed to enhance the police leaders

ability to be powerfully present and authentically
connected to others in ways that would allow them to
invoke leadership in others.
Topics
Characteristics of an influential police leader
Understanding the core ideas
Two ways of being
Self-deception and the Box
Life in the box and collusion
Understanding how we get out of the box
Becoming responsive
The responsive way
Leadership and organizational performance
The nature of change
Prerequisites
This course is open to all police leaders and
service members being prepared to assume
