Join us for our upcoming discussion webcast titled “Learning Your Beat: Starting your career with a powerful advantage”. This webcast discusses the Neighborhood Portfolio Exercise in the PTO program and it is designed specifically for recent graduates of police academies, new crime investigators, and all public safety officers starting their careers. 

When starting a new job, especially in public safety and policing, it is common for rookies to feel the need to navigate and understand their surroundings. Research shows that the better an officer knows his or her beat, and the people in that beat, the easier it is for them to become effective and competent in their career. It is the depth of their “beat knowledge” that determines their success. 

The experts in our webcast have extensive experience in training new officers and, in this engaging workshop, they will provide invaluable tips to help young officers gain confidence in starting their career in patrol and investigation.

During the webcast, we will cover various areas that are essential for new officers to grasp. We’ll delve into topics such as learning geography, meeting people, and understanding the psychological impact of cultural issues faced today. We’ll also address how to effectively work with different indigenous groups and cultural backgrounds, providing a comprehensive understanding of the diverse world that young officers navigate.

You will also have the opportunity to meet new police officers who are facing the same challenges as you. So everyone can exchange experiences and ideas that can help transform the reality of police work.

To enhance your learning experience, we will share three informative videos a week before the webcast. These videos will prepare you with valuable insights and allow you to come prepared with questions for our excellent panel.
