Overview

This is an OSS Academy® Community Policing & Problem Solving online training course offered for Peace Officers, Jailers, and Telecommunicators..

Crime, disorder, and associated problems can be more effectively addressed in small geographical areas, such as an officer’s patrol area or beat. Studying the characteristics of problems in an area helps officers to apply resources and responses that can reduce and solve those problems. Individuals who commit crimes or civil violations often make choices based on opportunities presented by physical and social characteristics of their immediate area.

This course offers law enforcement officers  tools to creatively solve problems by collaborating with community groups, who, by manipulating physical and social factors, create harder targets, which make it less likely for people to act offensively. You will also be exposed to problem-solving and solution-oriented policing, which bring together local authorities and people in the community in collaborative efforts to eliminate community problems in both real world and cyber communities.

Please note, the entire course final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive one (1) hour of course credit.

Student Accolades:
I completed the basic Bailiff training and I have to say I learned a great deal. Your course is easy to follow and informative, but not a lay down if you don’t work at it. That’s what I wanted. I’m suggesting it to all my officers who may not have time to attend the class and to all other agencies in my part of Texas. Good work!
- L. Brand, Texas Sheriff

Thank You. I have taken two Court Security classes in the past 6 years: one 5-day course with Mr. Randy Harris and another … and I must say that this online course (developed by Mr. Harris) is VERY in-depth and VERY important for any Law Enforcement Officer/Bailiff that works in and around a courthouse.
- D. Wade, Texas Deputy Constable/Bailiff

Outstanding and long overdue course of instruction. Great visual aids and commentary by Mr. Harris. I hope to see more courses like this one.

Overview

This is an OSS Academy® Crime Scene Management online training course offered for Peace Officers, Jailers, and Telecommunicators.

You are dispatched to a shots fired call at 2:00 a.m. You arrive at the scene and observe the lights are on at the residence, and the front door is open. You cautiously approach the open front door, and are able to observe a body lying on the floor in a pool of blood with what is obviously a fatal head wound. Your backup arrives, and together you search the residence and determine there is no one else present. Would you and your partner know how to safely clear the scene while being mindful of the need to preserve the evidence it contains? Would you know what you contaminated, disturbed or moved, and can you document it? Would you know how to establish a proper ingress/egress path for other responders to follow? This course will answer these and many more questions about managing a major crime scene resulting in the successful apprehension and prosecution of an offender.

Please note, the entire course (including any applicable course parts), final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive one (1) hour of course credit.

Overview

This is an OSS Academy® Criminal Investigations online training course offered for Peace Officers, Jailers, and Telecommunicators.

Criminal investigations often begin at the location(s) where the crime was committed. Criminal investigators must be able to identify and collect items of evidentiary value left at the crime scene, in order to better piece together events surrounding the crime, and to identify perpetrators and sometimes victims. These steps are often the most important efforts undertaken by patrol officers and investigators in efforts to identify, arrest, and successfully prosecute offenders. Failure of law enforcement agencies to establish an effective and efficient crime scene management system can have severe results and may even include civil or criminal charges against crime scene personnel. Therefore, it is essential that all officers and investigative personnel have a solid understanding of professionally accepted crime scene protocols, in order that their agency can take full advantage of today's more sophisticated laboratory techniques and technologies. The basis for a successful and efficient crime scene investigation is within the grasp of any law enforcement agency, no matter the size.

Please note, the entire course final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive two (2) hours of course credit.
