Check the course dates. Some classes have been split over 3 weeks. For split schedules, there will be a week of training, a week off, and then return to finish the second week. PREREQUISITE(S): There is a pre-course assignment that is required for this course. It will be sent via email 3-4 weeks before the class is scheduled to begin. Students must have an operator level understanding of subject control principles. This is an advanced course and not designed for beginners.

The NHTSA RADAR and LiDAR Instructor course utilizes the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ( NHTSA ) RADAR and LiDAR Training curriculum. The course will review the theory, history and operation of RADAR and LiDAR devices. Officers will prepare and present instruction in the operation of RADAR and LiDAR devices. The course will include field exercises, speed estimations and preparation for a mock trial and courtroom testimony. RADAR and LiDAR case law will be presented and reviewed. Pre- Req: Must have completed Peace Officer Basic Training after 1/1/2014 or RADAR/LIDAR Operator advanced training course. This course is funded through an OTSO/NHTSA grant and is free for Ohio Law Enforcement Officers only. Out-of-state officers should contact OPOTA for more information.

This 40-hour Traffic Collision Investigation course will instruct officers on topics including measuring, photographing, recording evidence at crash scenes, and diagramming the scene to scale. Upon completion, officers will be able to analyze a collision and determine what happened before, during, and after the collision. Officers will be instructed on advanced techniques for application of mathematical principles and equations to determine vehicle speeds from tire marks, the use of traffic templates, driver and witness interviews, human factors, evidence from vehicles and the roadway, field sketches, measuring, diagramming, photography, and preparing their case for court. Officers should be familiar with Ohio crash reporting forms and procedures before attending this course. Officers will need a calculator with square root function and will participate in outside exercises. NOTE: THIS CLASS IS GRANT FUNDED AND FREE TO OHIO OFFICERS. STUDENTS OUTSIDE OF OHIO WILL BE CHARGED THE NORMAL COURSE TUITION ($1,150.00) SPECIAL NEEDS/EQUIPMENT/COMMENTS: Officers must provide a laptop computer with Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader installed for use in the course.

This 80 – hour course builds on the concepts learned in Traffic Collision Investigation (Level I). Instruction will include advanced techniques in acceleration/deceleration, vehicle behavior, and analysis of vehicle lamps and safety systems. Students will learn mathematical formulas to determine velocity, airborne, time, distance, center of mass, kinetic energy and collinear momentum. Students will need a calculator with square root function, sine/co-sine, and parentheses and will participate in outside exercises. ***This course is funded through an OTSO/NHTSA grant and is free for Ohio Law Enforcement Officers only. Out-of-state officers should contact OPOTA for more information. Officers must provide a laptop computer with Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader installed for use in the course. It is also recommended that officers bring a three-ring binder for handouts. PREREQUISITE: Traffic Collision Investigation (Level I) or equivalent

This 40-hour Vehicle Dynamics course includes instruction on how vehicles behave before, during, and after a collision. Much of the course will be spent determining advanced acceleration and deceleration factors to determine time/distance relationships for colliding vehicles. Officers will be instructed on topics including yaw and rotation, post-collision complex drag factor determination, hydroplaning, rollovers and occupant kinematics. Officers will apply empirical testing techniques and mathematical formulas to determine energy, speed and velocity. Students will need a calculator with square root function, sine/co-sine, and parentheses and will participate in outside exercises. NOTE: THIS CLASS IS GRANT FUNDED AND FREE TO OHIO OFFICERS. OUT OF STATE STUDENTS WILL BE CHARGED THE NORMAL TUITION FEE ($575.00 in 2022) Pre-Requisite: Traffic Collision Investigation (Level I) or equivalent and Advanced Traffic Collision Investigation ( Level II ) or Equivalent
