PTO training prepares recruits to exercise discretion, evaluate their choices, and assess their performance based on their own analysis, along with the feedback from seasoned training officers. Recruits trained in the PTO method will respond to complex situations with creativity and confidence; entering the field with the problem solving skills required in policing today.
