On January
11, 1999, the North Coast Polytechnic Institute (NCPI) began operations
to provide training to law enforcement officers and law enforcement
agencies. There is a need within the law enforcement sector to provide EFFECTIVE, AFFORDABLE, and PROFESSIONAL
training that is meaningful and professionally taught. NCPI will
bring any of these training programs to your agency. The host agency
must locate a training facility to host the school. Discounted rates
will be available to the host agency.
CPT 2026 INFO
As all of you know, OPOTA has once again required 24 hours of Continuing Professional Training (CPT) for Ohio LE officers. The OPOTC Commission has identified eight (8) hours of "mandatory" training with the remaing sixteen (16) hours of "optional" training topics that must be pre-approved by OPOTA. My lesson plans for the optional training will be submitted to OPOTA for pre-approval. In 2026, NCPI is planning to offer the following 24 hours of training at many different training locations as in the past:
Day One - 8 hours - Optional training topics with Four (4) hours on Legal Aspects of Confessions and Four (4) hour on Civil Liability with emphasis on motor vehicle related issues, illegal arrest/search and failure to train.
Day Two - 8 hours - Optional training topics with Two (2) hours on Evidence Handling and Property Issues; Two (2) hours on Mental Health Awareness; One (1) hour on Officer Safety - Distractions that affect Safety; One (1) hour on Public Video and Audio Recording of Cops; and Two (2) hours on Impacts of Women in Policing on Female Offenders/Victims.
Day Three - 8 hours (Mandatory OPOTA training topics) - Three (3) hours on Legal Updates; Two (2) hours on Communications; Two (2) hours on Compliance and Control Tactics; and One (1) hour on Firearms.
I am beginning to schedule CPT training at various departments. As in the past, you can "Pick and Choose" between attending 3 day schools or individual days of training based on your departmental needs. Tuition fees and discounts will be provided once locations and dates have been determined. I am currently waiting for OPOTA to approve my training curriculum and assign a CPT number for each topic.
