About AO Training Solutions

Robert retired in 2021 after a 30 year law enforcement career, including assignments in patrol, SWAT/ERT, fugitive/warrant operations, court security, use of force instructor and field training officer. Robert conducted studies that resulted in agency adoption of OC (pepper) spray, collapsible batons and backup handguns. He oversaw a highly successful targeted offender warrant enforcement detail for over 10 years which netted multiple arrests (the majority made by him) and earned him two commendations. Robert spent the last five years of his career as chief of the agency he retired from. During his tenure as chief, he implemented a robust tactical medical training program for both sworn and civilian staff.

Robert has received several hundred  hours of firearms training, both in the government and private training sector. He holds various firearms instructor & defensive tactics/OC/impact weapons instructor certifications. He is an EMT-B and is also an instructor in Stop the Bleed through ACS Stop the Bleed program, 1st Care Provider and First Responder Medical instructor through ALERRT. He is also a lifelong martial artist.
