Regarding creation of the PTO model, the desire for a new field training program was initiated by former Chief Jerry Hoover and Deputy Chief Ron Glensor of the Reno Police. The research team, under the direction of Jerry Hoover, helped fine tune the PTO model - once it was developed - and then test it in the field. The distinguishing part of the PTO model is Problem Based Learning, the first new creation in law enforcement field training in decades. That was a direct contribution of police educators Gerry Cleveland and Gregory Saville, along with other program components specifically created for this model such as the learning matrix, problem based learning exercises and coaching and training reports.
