3 DIVISION FUNCTIONS/RESPONSIBILITIES The Training Division is responsible for the training of all Department personnel. It is divided into two primary training components; the Recruit Training Unit and In-Service Training Unit. The Recruit Training Unit is responsible for the operation and the presentation of a 26- week (1048 hours) Police Academy for police officer trainees. The Police Academy is presented to Department trainees and nearby law enforcement agencies. This Basic Course more than satisfies the requirements established by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST). It prepares police officers for work in the community in a variety of skill and knowledge areas. Students are given written, practical, and job simulation examinations in accordance with POST regulations. They are exposed to resources within the Department and the community to do their job in the most effective, efficient, and safe manner for all concerned. The curriculum has an emphasis on ethics and professionalism, critical thinking and problem solving, conflict resolution, and relationships with the community. Highly trained police officers handle daily academy operations, overseen by a sergeant. Successful completion and graduation from the Academy will place the sworn officers in the Field Training Program. The Basic Academy allows the Department to manage the training in accordance with POST requirements and in support of the operating philosophy of the Department, and of those who will be police officers in Oakland. Instructors are carefully selected for their teaching ability, expertise in the subject area being taught, and their knowledge of objectives, teaching methods, and current training philosophy. All instructors receive Academy Development Instructor training. The Police Academy uses classroom facilities at the Department, and local sites for applicable instruction, practices and examination. Local agencies request inclusion to the Academy, due to the high quality of instruction, and reliability of Academy training and philosophy. The Cadet Program is designed for hardworking ambitious young men and women who desire to explore and develop careers in law enforcement while attending college. Cadets are hourly, part-time employees who receive training and experience in various aspects of the police profession. They are rotated through a variety of assignments designed to develop their interest in police work. Intensive supervision, counseling, training, and evaluation develop their leadership qualities and prepare them for careers in law enforcement. The goal is for cadets to transition to police officers, providing for a bettereducated and skilled police officer. Cadets are assigned to different units within the Department. They are assigned to write crime reports, tow abandoned vehicles, issueparking citations, provide traffic control, routine transportation and notifications, record 3

4 keeping and data entry, and provide investigative assistance. They also provide assistance to training activities, acting as role players and logistical support to the Academy, and In-Service. Cadets are often utilized for community events and activities. The In-Service Training Unit is made up of a number of components, all providing training to officers after academy graduation as well as members of other ranks, civilians, and the public. Other components of the In-Service unit are Firearms Range Masters, Safety Coordinator, TASER Coordinator, UOF Coordinator, CPT Coordinator, Reprographic Offset Operator, TMS Coordinator, one PRS who maintains all the purchase orders and training orders, and two contract employees who are retired OPD personnel. The In- Service Sergeant is responsible for all aspects of the aforementioned staff. The CPT coordinator develops, coordinates, implements and monitors training in the Officer and Sergeant CPT s, and Command Retreats based on POST mandates and the requirements of the Negotiated Settlement Agreement. The In-Service sergeant maintains this responsibility and works with staff to ensure the highest quality product. The Department Range Masters conduct Firearms qualification and transition shooting. All sworn personnel are required to pass one qualifications proficiency course a year, with their pistols and shotgun. The range masters also instruct a twelve hr block in the CPT, and an additional eight hour block as supplemental firearms training. The Range Masters conduct training off-site. The In-Service sergeant maintains this responsibility and works with staff to ensure the highest quality product. The In-Service Unit acts as a liaison between an outside group and the Department to make training available at line-ups of the Patrol Division. Groups such as the District Attorney s Office work with this unit to bring the latest issues to all personnel assigned to the division to develop knowledge and limit liability. The In-Service Unit is responsible for the Department Safety Program, coordinated by the Department Safety Coordinator (DSC). The DSC is responsible for receiving and reviewing all accident reports. The DSC reviews each accident report and refers reports to the Departmental Safety Committee as required. The Electronics Weapons Coordinator is assigned to the In-Service Unit. The Electronic Weapons Coordinator is responsible for training all members who are assigned Electronic Weapons, and updating the training for all those officers on a yearly basis. The members that are assigned the electronic weapons attend mandatory update classes during the same time frame as their in-service qualifications. Right up till the first quarter of 2009, the In-Service Unit was responsible for tracking and logging all training received by Department personnel, regarding the Negotiated Settlement Agreement tasks. This was a monumental assignment, which at times was 4

5 overwhelming. With power DMS the burden has become lesser, and TMS is once again being utilized for what it was originally designed. The UOF coordinator is also assigned to the In-Service Unit, and is responsible for coordinating the Force Review Boards and the Executive Force Review Boards. The coordinator works closely with IAD to ensure that all the force cases are brought before the board in a timely manner with no 3304 issues. The Training Division is now no longer responsible for tracking, logging, and keeping up to date on all Negotiated Settlement Agreement training in the Department since this task is now being handled by OIG through Power DMS. The TMs system is used to track all the training that officers obtain during the year form outside sources and from within the training section. A Shop Operator staffs the Reprographic Shop, located in the basement of the Department. In addition to training material, the shop produces material for all units in the Department. This includes copies of all police report forms, brochures for citizen distribution, and material for Home Alert groups.
