As a subset of DPSST's Academy Training Division, the Regional Training Section is responsible for delivering mandated, specialized and maintenance training to Oregon's criminal justice professionals on a regional basis. This section partners with 11 regional training councils to identify training needs and resources, provide training for local trainers, coordinate and facilitate skills-based and specialized training and provide technical support. The Regional Training Section also coordinates and delivers the agency's Instructor Development Course (IDC) sessions, which prepare agency instructors to teach in the academy-based basic courses. Finally, the Section is responsible for the provision of specialized educational opportunities in child abuse investigations, standardized field sobriety testing (SFTS), driving under the influence of intoxicants video training, SFTS instructor updates and RADAR/LIDAR usage.
