The Future of Law Enforcement Training in 2022 is Online

Introduction: The Future of Law Enforcement Training in 2022 is Online

In recent years, there has been a growing trend of law enforcement training being conducted online and Revelations Training & Investigations is no exception. While some officers may view this as a negative trend, others believe that this is the future of law enforcement training – as we do. Online courses are more affordable and can be tailored to the needs of each individual officer or department. Additionally, online courses can be completed in a shorter amount of time than traditional law enforcement training programs because there are no major time wasters, bio-breaks, long lunches or early Friday’s.

The future of law enforcement training in 2022 is online. According to our informal survey, many law enforcement professionals believe that the future of law enforcement training is online. Our online courses provide an affordable and convenient way for officers to learn about new techniques and technologies. They also allow officers to supplement their training with relevant material that is current and effective.

RTI leverages cutting a edge learning management platform so officers can receive the same level of training online, often for a fraction of the cost. Our platform provides and interactive learning environment that helps students retain information more effectively.

The Need for Law Enforcement Training

The primary reason for law enforcement agencies to seek training is to improve the quality of their officers’ work that’s being done on the street. Police officers are expected to perform a wide variety of tasks and duties in order to keep people safe from criminals. If officers aren’t properly trained on how to perform their duties, they might not be able to keep people safe and could even end up in jail.

You know this, which is why you are still reading.

The Traditional Classroom

While the traditional classroom model for training police officers has been effective in teaching many law enforcement skills, it’s not ideal for many reasons. In person training often takes more time, requires a larger budgetary outlay and takes personnel off the street and away from their job.

The traditional classroom model for training police officers is still the most common and, for many topics, preferred way to train. The use of hands-on instruction and practical exercises is seen as the best way to ensure that officers are adequately prepared for the real world. While we agree in person training is necessary for firearms, emergency vehicle operations, defensive tactics, taser and others, we offer a better way to train for these topics, including:

• Homicide and Death Investigations
• Domestic Violence Investigations
• Child Abuse and Neglect
• Autoerotic Death & Suicide Investigations
• Crime Scene Photography for Patrol
• Wound Identification for the First Responder

Benefits of Online Training

The Online Learning Model is a great tool for training that can be used by both classroom and distance learning environments. Unlike traditional lecture/laboratory based training, the Online Course models the type of critical thinking that occurs in the real world.

Online learning is a great way to train employees and provides a flexible and convenient learning environment in a variety of subjects.

The cost savings alone are a shining example of how we are revolutionizing training for cops. We estimate that training with RTI yields a budgetary savings over $1,500 per officer, per course!! When you cut out airfare, lodging, car rental, per diem and loss of employee work production that number adds up quick!

The benefits are not limited to just training costs. Training is a critical factor in the retention of officers and their safety going forward.
