Description
The OSSTP is a dynamic, hands-on training program designed to give officers a renewal of the survival mindset and the tools to detect, avoid and win against spontaneous attacks. Based on recent research, this training focuses on three environments where law enforcement officers have encountered spontaneous attacks. These environments are from inside and around vehicles, exterior approaches, and inside structures. The officer will also be trained in low light environments along with basic medical knowledge and skills necessary to treat injuries often experienced in a combat or tactical environment. Through lecture, demonstration, and reality-based scenario training, the officers will be encouraged to push traditional boundaries with an emphasis on tactical problem solving. This will be reinforced with stress inoculation. The officer will be evaluated on their ability to perform the required skills and tactics during a practical exercise.
