Officer Mills praised the OCTP training for using RPD officer's real experiences to teach techniques, ultimately improving safety for both officers and suspects.
"The program is very informative and the testing, especially the most recent one, was challenging; requiring you to not only draw from a knowledge of subject control techniques, but from a knowledge of the law as it applies to use of force scenarios," said Mills. "Developing better subject control skills can help keep both officers and suspects safer in volatile situations, and as one of the key aspects of our job, should be a skill that is continually fostered and made to evolve as the rest of the job continues to as well."
